Amazon Luna Ditches Per-Game Purchases and Refunds as It Reboots Focus

Amazon Luna will stop selling individual games and third-party subscriptions, and on June 10 it will remove access to games you purchased through Luna with no refunds. You may still play those games if linked to Ubisoft, EA, or other stores, but otherwise you’ll need native hardware or another streaming option to access them. The move underscores Luna’s ongoing struggles and a pivot toward casual games behind new sub‑tiers, underscoring the risks of buying titles via streaming services instead of downloading or owning them offline.

Sony-Honda Mobility Halts Afeela EV Project Amid Honda's EV Strategy Overhaul

Sony-Honda Mobility is stopping development of its Afeela electric vehicles after Honda overhauled its EV strategy, refunding reservations and offering no clear path to market. The JV had planned California deliveries of Afeela 1 later this year and a second model by 2028, but Honda’s writedown and strategic reassessment leave the project in limbo; Sony says the move is not expected to materially affect its finances and discussions about future plans with Honda continue.

Highguard Closure Triggers PS5 Refunds

Wildlight Entertainment is reportedly issuing PS5 refunds for Highguard as the studio shutters its doors, with Sony emails indicating money spent on the game's battle pass and skins is being returned; it’s unclear if refunds extend to other platforms or all players, and the game’s brief run came after layoffs and a rushed launch that may have spurred funding concerns and the studio’s eventual disappearance.

Costco to Rebate Tariff Savings to Members After Tariff Rulings

Costco said it will pass along any tariff refunds it receives to members after Trump-era tariffs were ruled unconstitutional, having already lowered prices where tariffs fell and pursuing refunds of IEEPA-based duties via a federal lawsuit; the company plans to rebalance value for members with refunds reflected through future lower prices once refunds are obtained.

Southwest to End ORD Flights in June, Redirecting Chicagoland Travelers

Southwest Airlines will cease operating flights at Chicago O'Hare in June, with ORD service ending June 3, 2026; trips involving ORD on or after June 4 will be affected. Affected customers can rebook or standby through Chicago Midway or reroute via Milwaukee or Indianapolis, and refunds are available for unused tickets on/after June 4. The airline did not state a reason. The same changes apply to Washington Dulles, and analysts note ORD capacity concerns amid FAA considerations and competition from United and American.

Costco Member Sues for Share of Tariff Refunds, Citing Double-Payment Concern

An Illinois Costco member is suing the retailer to obtain a share of any refunds Costco may receive from its challenge to Trump-era tariffs, arguing this would prevent a “double recovery” by the government and customers. Costco has pledged to pass refunds to members via lower prices, but the plaintiff says such benefits are indeterminate and not restitution, noting shoppers bore higher prices and courts have begun addressing refunds.

Shoppers may get tariff refunds as Costco faces class-action over pricing

A proposed Illinois class-action alleges Costco unjustly profited from tariffs by raising prices and seeks refunds for shoppers from potential tariff reimbursements owed after the Supreme Court voided Trump-era tariffs. The case reflects the broader, uncertain process to distribute roughly $166 billion in tariff refunds, with the government saying refunds will take time and many importers could be eligible. Costco has not commented, while FedEx and others have pledged to return charged tariffs if refunds materialize.

Refund Promises Clash With Scale: IEEPA Tariffs Under Scrutiny

Refund Promises Clash With Scale: IEEPA Tariffs Under Scrutiny

After vowing easy refunds for unlawfully collected IEEPA tariffs, the government faced the Supreme Court ruling and a court-ordered refunds, but CBP now says it cannot deliver refunds at scale, citing ACE software limitations and other logistical hurdles. The controversy hinges on judicial estoppel and massive refund logistics: roughly $166 billion in duties across more than 53 million entries by over 330,000 importers, with around 20 million entries unliquidated; CBP says it would take 45 days to build new functionality to process refunds. Critics say the administration misrepresented the ease of refunds to win injunctions and must follow through with actual delivery.
