summary
- The PSN Store has many shovel wear games that offer almost value and can deceive gamers.
- Clone games like “Repository: Ghost Hole” buy players and have no refund options on PSN.
- Sony All Alling Copycat Games raises concerns about the rise of quality, plagiarism and the rise of AI-driven shovel wear.
Sony has many great games created by PlayStation Division’s first-party studios, but the PlayStation Store is littered with AI-covered games and shovelware.
Aside from providing gamers with little value, these shovelware titles are something that happened recently, so you can also deceive gamers from their hard-earned money.
PSN users fooled by game clones that Sony has allowed in digital store
The cloned game is a report by Semiwork, a PC-only game with a horror theme about online cooperation with friends. Needless to say, this has been a surprising hit since it was released on Steam Early Access in February this year.
Unfortunately, the game is not available on PlayStation, but people don’t know about it. There are games on the PSN Store that you can copy to the PSN Store, titled “Repository: Ghost Haal.” This is $9.99 for the same price as the original repository game on Steam. Naturally, some people are fooled and left to buy games they didn’t want to begin with.
The kickers are: The PSN Store does not offer refunds like Steam. Or, if so, it’s not an easy process to do so. People on Reddit are upset that this copycat game is available on the PSN store in the first place.
This isn’t the first copycat game on PSN and isn’t the last one. Checking the PSN store, there are plenty of things that look like poor and very suggestive games, and are trying to lure people in and test them out.
That said, there is a possibility that people could claim a refund for this so-called game. People must first roam Customer Service Waters, but when you talk to someone, please mention how the game copies really popular PC games. Not only that, it also mentions how to promote yourself as a multiplayer game, but that’s not because it’s a completely single-player experience.
The strange thing here is, why does Sony allow these kinds of games on the market? Shouldn’t someone check it out to ensure that it doesn’t damage the company’s reputation? The increased use of AI (Artifical Intelligence) by game developers means we can see more of this Shovelware Tripe. Heck, even Sony are jumping on the massive hours of the AI bandwagon just in case you didn’t know.
