Over the previous couple of days, we’ve seen reviews circulating that Sony has begun eradicating PS Retailer slop shovelware following an IGN investigation into the junk clogging PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox storefronts. Nevertheless, there seems to be no proof that Sony has taken any motion just lately, not to mention in response to stated investigation.
Identified PS Retailer slop continues to clog Sony’s on-line retailer
Stories of Sony eradicating “eslop” stem from a PSNProfiles discussion board dialogue, the place one person identified that every one RandomSpinGames titles, that are mainly junk, have disappeared. However these random delistings are nothing new, and there’s no indication that Sony cracked down on the developer.
One look on the PS Retailer exhibits that every one the recognized slop, like ‘Leaping [insert object here]’ video games are nonetheless there. As a matter of reality, the primary sport I see within the Demo part is The Leaping Ice Dice, adopted by The Leaping Donut — each of which have been within the retailer eternally.
As said above, random PS Retailer delistings are nothing new. About 5 months in the past, for instance, a free sport with simple trophies titled The Nice Fleece popped up on the PS Retailer. It’s since been delisted, and nobody is aware of why. Equally, we don’t know if RandomSpinGames was nuked by Sony or the developer determined to tug their very own video games.
Regardless of the case, we see no proof of PS Retailer slop being eliminated, and Sony actually isn’t the kind of firm to snap into motion mere days after a report — which solely briefly mentions the PS Retailer — goes dwell. The headlines we’ve seen circulating are purely conjecture.
