Sony Continues 'Shovelware' Crackdown on PlayStation Store

Sony is targeting 'shovelware' games on the PlayStation Store, with publisher Webnetic announcing its departure from the platform.

Sony has been actively removing low-quality and exploitative games from its digital storefront, with Webnetic being the latest publisher to face this purge. The company, known for titles like The Golden Age and The Copper Age, revealed on social media that its PlayStation journey is ending, urging players to enjoy its games before they are taken down.

Webnetic boasts a vast catalog of 1,274 PlayStation games, including various versions and sequels. Despite the impending removal from PlayStation, the publisher assured fans that they can expect new projects on Xbox, Nintendo, and Steam, such as updates for Panic House: Awakening.

While the exact removal date remains uncertain, players can explore more about Webnetic's departure and the world of 'Eslop' in IGN's in-depth coverage.
