For several years now, the online stores of Sony, Nintendo, Valve, and Xbox have been flooded with games from unscrupulous developers. These developers release games entirely developed by AI and don’t hesitate to plagiarize other major titles.
For now, major manufacturers are taking only tentative steps to combat this phenomenon. Last January, Sony did, however, have approximately 1,200 such games removed from the PlayStation Store. Two months later, we learn that roughly 1,000 more titles have been pulled from the store.
This particularly affects the Cypriot publisher Nostra Games, which saw its 700 games disappear from the PlayStation Store. The brand primarily offers sims that sometimes used generative AI. The company openly addressed the issue on its Discord server.
“Unfortunately, the PlayStation Store has removed our games, and we cannot provide a specific reason because it has not been communicated to us… For now, we plan to continue releasing them on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and Steam.”
Finally, another publisher named CGI Lab suffered the same fate. This company developed games such as Platform 0 and Veins of Darkness.
