1,194 shovelware titles removed from the PlayStation Store

Sony has removed over 1,000 shovelware games from the PlayStation Store, primarily from publisher ThiGamesDE, which is known for publishing low-effort titles. The reason for the removal is unclear, but it may be related to Sony's recent partnership with Microsoft and Nintendo to improve player safety on their platforms. PlayStation Plus subscribers will soon have access to nine new games. Some fans support the removal of low-effort content, while achievement hunters may be disappointed.
