Simply earlier than the weekend, Sony quietly rolled out a brand new PS Retailer replace that PS5 and PS4 gamers have been begging for. After years of flying underneath Sony’s radar, a number of infamous shovelware publishers have been banned from the storefront, and their video games have been nuked.
Stealth PS Retailer replace eliminated tons of of PS5, PS4 shovelware and rip-off video games
We all know what you’re pondering, and sure, we’ve been right here earlier than. However this time is somewhat completely different. That is the third such replace this yr, and the second time Sony has nuked shovelware inside simply two weeks.
Moreover, the publishers who’ve been focused in these updates are those who have lengthy evaded Sony bans and by some means survived earlier crackdowns.
Again in January, it was ThiGames — the oldsters behind Leaping Burrito/Pizza/Taco, and so on. — that bought banned. In late March, 1000’s of low-effort video games from CGI Lab and Nostra Video games have been eliminated.
And now, as noticed by PSNProfiles customers, the whole catalog of shovelware studios GoGame Console Writer, VRCForge, and Welding Byte has been eliminated. Within the spirit of Easter, Sony didn’t even spare the favored “Jesus Simulator,” which has been on the PS Retailer for a really very long time.
It’s lastly beginning to appear to be Sony is critical about junk video games. Come to think about it, I haven’t seen them plaguing the PS Retailer gross sales recently!
