Be careful with chargebacks on Google Play though. I hear Google don’t like chargebacks and they absolutely ghost you after permanently disabling your Google account if you do it.
Yet another reason why antitrust law is important. The same entity shouldn’t be able to shut off your email because you had a dispute over an entirely separate product.
I know for a fact Sony will. I hesistate to call it a chargeback, but my bank did a transaction reversal after they caught a double charge from PlayStation for a game. The rep on the phone called it a chargeback. This wasn’t a double click accident; the transactions were 10 hours apart and I was asleep for the second. They locked my account and refused to accept any evidence that this was a mistake on their part and everything was in the clear as to who owed who money. I had screenshots and communications with my bank, but there was no one to send it to. They told me to pay the amount, then we could clear it up. I told them I’m not paying $150 for one game.
I never got my account back and lost all of my digital titles. I’ve used it as a warning now that Sony is talking about killing off discs. They can and will cut you off whenever they feel like it and you have zero recourse. You don’t own any of it.
I kinda doubt this would get your games back as I’m sure its in the TOS, but you can make them spend more money on a lawyer than them “losing” the $150
Wish you could make a charge back for the full value of your account. If they can remove something you bought, you should get your money back in full. Fucking parasites. Sony is shit.

That calls for an escalation to small claims court.
