A judge has dismissed the majority of a gender discrimination lawsuit lodged against PlayStation by a former employee.
There also remains the issue of the subsequent claims by eight more women, who shared testimony as part of the lawsuit.
The case, filed in November last year by ex-PlayStation IT analyst Emma Majo, claimed PlayStation paid women less than men in similar jobs and were held back from promotions.
As yet, these claims are still to be added into legal proceedings as part of a class action lawsuit – something Sony also wanted to block.
