In a surprising move, Sony has removed more than a thousand games from the PlayStation Store, targeting a single developer known for producing low-quality titles.
The affected developer, ThiGames, was previously the fourth highest ranked in terms of game quantity on the store. As reported by RobThanatos, all titles associated with ThiGames have been wiped from the platform, leaving only the trophy data intact for players who had previously unlocked them.
Currently, no official explanation has been provided by Sony or ThiGames regarding the removal. ThiGames is recognized for its uniquely simple games, including titles like The Jumping Fries and The Jumping Taco. These games feature humorous gameplay mechanics that, while odd, attracted some players.
This passionate user community enjoyed these games mainly due to their minimal trophy requirements.
Videos showcasing gameplay, like the quick trophy guide for The Jumping Taco TURBO, highlight how easy it was to earn trophies by completing basic tasks, allowing users to boost their PlayStation achievements swiftly.
This incident is not unprecedented; Sony previously intervened with another prolific developer, Randomspin, for similar shovelware releases. With a history of producing a significant volume of games within short spans, both developers raised concerns within the gaming community.
