Random: PS5, PS4 Shovelware Isn't Even Trying to Hide Its Plagiarism Anymore

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that the current state of the PS Store is akin to a treasure hunt for gold nuggets amidst a sea of fool’s gold. The sheer volume of shovelware and AI art masquerading as games is nothing short of disheartening.

If you’ve recently explored the PlayStation Store, you might have noticed it’s overflowing with AI-generated art, imitations, and low-quality games. This abundance of uncurated content seems to be empowering developers, as demonstrated by the forthcoming title, “Forest Ranger Life Simulator”.

From the main artwork, it clearly depicts a character reminiscent of Joel from The Last of Us, sporting a rough beard and wearing a worn-out plaid shirt.

In this game, believed to be created by Grizzly Games Limited, they invite you to put on the shoes of a diligent forest ranger and revitalize nature’s concealed wonders. It guarantees an engaging experience as you will be responsible for fixing bridges, nourishing wildlife, and combating pollution.

However, there’s no confirmed release date for this game yet, only an option to add it to your wishlist. The PlayStation Store seems to be filled with such “vaporware” projects these days, a number of which either never come out or are just rehashes using pre-made assets.

Although uncertain about allowing Sony to dictate our gaming options, it’s essential to establish a mechanism for sifting through the excessive low-quality content. The growing challenge in locating valuable content on the PS5 and PS4 today necessitates such a solution.
