"Every console store has been plagued by the presence of low-quality games in recent times, including the PlayStation's. It makes the stores incredibly frustrating to use for players, where 'Coming Soon' and 'New Release' pages can be overwhelmed by half-baked $2.99 nonsense."
"The flood of releases isn't really about tricking average players into shelling out cash on garbage, but more about seeking the attention of trophy hunters. These churned-out 'games' come bulging with super-simple trophies to collect, making it very easy to get a Platinum."
"Those 1,000 deletions are, in fact, closer to around 100 actual games, each released multiple times and listed as regional variations. In January, it was reported that around 1,200 games created by a developer called ThiGames were removed."
Sony has removed over 1,000 low-quality games from the PlayStation Store, marking the second major clean-up this year. The presence of shovelware games has made it difficult for players to find quality titles, leading to frustration. Many of these games are designed to attract trophy hunters with easy trophies, often released in multiple regional versions. The previous clean-up in January saw around 1,200 games removed, indicating a trend towards prioritizing quality over quantity in the store's offerings.
