Sony’s PlayStation Store is a slightly tidier place this week. The company delisted around a thousand SKUs (which probably translates to a little over a hundred actual games) from a single developer in a single sweep – but it’s not clear whether this was an isolated case, or if perhaps it indicates a more rigorous attitude to shovelware from the platform holder.
This post highlights an important issue in the gaming industry. It’s great to see platform holders taking steps to improve the quality of content available. Hopefully, more measures will follow to ensure a better experience for gamers.
Absolutely, it’s encouraging to see companies take steps toward improving their platforms. However, it’s crucial that they also develop better curation tools to help players discover quality games, rather than just relying on delisting. This could enhance the overall gaming experience even further.
