Sony has nuked dozens of PS5 and PS4 games and their developers from the PS Store after player complaints. Sometime over the last week, the company banned a handful of scam developers who imitated popular games and flooded the storefront with clever listings designed to trick players into spending money.
Sony intensifies crackdown on scam PS5 and PS4 games and devs on PS Store
Over on PSNProfiles, players have been compiling a list of all the games and devs that were banished. Unfortunately for those who did end up buying the games and booting them up, some of the games’ trophy lists did not sync with PSN servers, so you might be stuck with those forever if you unlocked a gong or two.
One of the banned developers is Md Adnan Hossain, who was behind some of the most notorious scams, including a very convincing clone of Black Myth: Wukong (pictured above).
Among the listings that were removed are a bunch of hentai and sex games that began to ruffle feathers because of their content.
We’re happy to see Sony intensify its crackdown against PS Store scams, but as we’ve said before, the company needs to do more to filter out the garbage at the time of submission. There’s currently nothing stopping these devs from returning under different names.
