This has been annoying me for a bit. Lately, there has been an influx of games being sold on PSN that clearly have no purpose other than being a "free" platinum.
There are two "developers" (they don't deserve that name) doing this. Consistently. As in every couple days.
The first is breakthrough gaming, which calls itself a Christian developer. They put out these trash, usually one screen games that have gameplay that looks like it took a computer science freshman all of 12 minutes to make and can be platinumed in 5 minutes. Then, there is some Bible verse.
The other is ThiGames. They put out a new "Jumping [food item]" game ever couple days. Then, they put out the same game again, this time with the word Turbo added at the end, which appears to be the same "game", but with a seperate trophy list.
These games consist of a piece of food sitting on a table. You press X to jump. Hold it to keep jumping. Once you jump 500 times, you unlock all trophies including the platinum.
What makes this stuff more annoying, is that Sony is allowing this garbage flood the front page of their store.
Last year, I think, indie developers complained their games didn't get enough attention on PS, compared to Switch. Well, that was because Nintendo just allows whatever on their store and just posts the games as they release. It doesn't matter if it's "Assassin's Creed" or "Poop Simulator".
Well, Sony caved in and is doing the same thing. And now they're using trophies to let developers sell endless amount of shovelware to trophy whales while taking their 30% cut.
Anyway, rant over. But, Sony fix your shit on this.
