Simply ahead of the weekend, Sony quietly rolled out a brand new PS Retailer replace that PS5 and PS4 gamers had been begging for. After years of flying underneath Sony’s radar, a number of infamous shovelware publishers had been banned from the storefront, and their video games had been nuked.
Stealth PS Retailer replace got rid of masses of PS5, PS4 shovelware and rip-off video games
We all know what you’re considering, and sure, we’ve been right here ahead of. However this time is a bit other. That is the 3rd such replace this yr, and the second one time Sony has nuked shovelware inside simply two weeks.
Moreover, the publishers who’ve been centered in those updates are those who have lengthy refrained from Sony bans and by some means survived earlier crackdowns.
Again in January, it was once ThiGames — the parents at the back of Leaping Burrito/Pizza/Taco, and many others. — that were given banned. In past due March, hundreds of low-effort video games from CGI Lab and Nostra Video games have been got rid of.
And now, as noticed by way of PSNProfiles customers, all the catalog of shovelware studios GoGame Console Writer, VRCForge, and Welding Byte has been got rid of. Within the spirit of Easter, Sony didn’t even spare the preferred “Jesus Simulator,” which has been at the PS Retailer for a long time.
It’s in any case beginning to appear to be Sony is excited about junk video games. Come to think about it, I haven’t noticed them plaguing the PS Retailer gross sales in recent times!
