Official PlayStation Social Media Now Promoting Shovelware Using AI-Made Art
[summaraize]
If you’ve been checking Sony’s PlayStation Store, you might have noticed that outside of AAA games, a ton of smaller indie games are also available for purchase. However, aside from indie games, there seem to be a good number of games you’ve probably never heard of, with some questionable themes even.
What’s odd here is how the official PlayStation social media seems to promote some of these AI-made games.
PlayStation Italy’s Official Instagram Promotes Supermarket Game
The official PlayStation Italy Instagram page (via King_sfiga) posted a story promoting a “Supermaerket Simulator” game that we’ve never heard of until now.
As you can see, the lady featured in the image is literally inside a full cart while running. The publisher is “Kanuni games oyun YAZILIM VE Pazarlama Ticaret limited Sirketi” (nope, not making it up), and the title is available on the US PlayStation Store.
Details about the game mention, “Supermarket Shopping Simulator offers an exhilarating journey through the aisles of various supermarkets, each with its own unique layout and challenges. In this vibrant and engaging simulation game, players embark on a quest across 27 distinct levels, racing against time to gather a specific list of items ranging from everyday groceries to exotic delicacies. Armed with a shopping cart, you’ll navigate through bustling supermarket environments, dodging obstacles and making strategic decisions to fill your cart with the required products before the clock runs out. Each level increases in complexity and urgency, testing your speed, precision, and planning skills.?
Game Features:
Dynamic Levels: Experience the thrill of shopping in 27 uniquely designed supermarkets, each offering a new layout and a different set of items to collect.
Time-Based Challenges: Sharpen your time management skills as you race against the clock to complete shopping lists in record time.
Varied Obstacles: Overcome dynamic obstacles like crowded aisles, out-of-stock items, and more, that add a layer of strategy and unpredictability to your shopping spree.
Vivid Graphics and Immersive Soundtracks: Dive into beautifully crafted environments with lively characters and catchy music that enhance your shopping adventure.
“Whether you’re a casual gamer looking for some quick fun or a strategy enthusiast eager to optimize each run, Supermarket Shopping Simulator delivers a captivating blend of speed, strategy, and shopping. Prepare to unleash your inner shopper and dominate the supermarket aisles!”
If you’re wondering why people would even want to get this, the answer is trophies. Trophy hunters looking for a quick Platinum can usually snatch up one of these games to hike up their trophy collection rating.
As of press time, the game has over 630 ratings, and given you cannot rate a game unless you bought it, that means over 600 people bought this game. It’s at a low 1.53 rating right now, but even so, that means hundreds of people bought the game.
There are many more like it on the PlayStation Store, and it’s unlikely to disappear anytime soon.
