Topic: PSN Store Needs Clearing Up

I got a few PSN store cards for Christmas and I'm browsing the store trying to find something to buy, I'm interested in Cyberpunk 2077 but I like games to let me play how I want and looking at the trophies there's missable ones which if not unlocked require a new play through.

And I can't be bothered with that anyhoos I'm browsing the January sale section and after the 25th row starts to show the absolute crap that is flooded this gaming shop, just like the Nintendo eShop.

But as I'm scrolling it has some games between like Mega Man surrounded by tat like Jumping (insert food item here), Simulation games with thumbnails which AI clearly was used as the game doesn't even look like it's got a Disney style character in it. I don't get why Sony have no Quality control on its store because it seems anyone can upload anything to it, it's clear they are just easy platinum trophies games for pence but again it overlooks indie games that don't get a chance to shine.

Unless it's word of mouth or a suprise review etc Steam had this issue years ago with Greenlight, really good games being pushed down for tat.

I absolutely agree! I used to enjoy browsing the sales sorted by price - low to high to look for some bargain bin selections. You can pick up some hidden gems, older games of indies that you've missed for a few quid every now and then but as you say, it's become so cluttered that I have to sort through mountains of cack to spot the ones worth checking out.
I would like to see a feature implemented that would just let me block or ignore some publishers from all of my store searches. So whoever keeps pumping out these shovelware efforts would not even show up for me, and I assume many others. If these people realised that their games didn't show up for say 90% of people on the store then surely they'd realise they have to change or just stop.

Yeah I agree a publisher block would be perfect but I don't understand why Sony haven't stopped this rubbish flooding the store

Good points by all. The possibility of finding a hidden gem or a game you may be waiting for a sale is negated by the sheer amount of junk games that populate the store. This is definitely a major problem because it discourages searching for anything having to filter through what equals to shovelware
