What is with Xbox allowing actual shovelware trash on their console platform?

There's a legit shovelware game that rips off a shitty version of the Kratos model where all you do is basically attack enemies in an arena

 

It's called "War Gods Zeus of Child"

 

 

 

 

Seriously... what the fuck is this?  This is another instance in just the past week of me seeing some complete bullshit shovelware shit on the store.

 

Has it been like that for a while, or does MS literally not care anymore?

idk man, if MS cared they would make games and try to compete with sony

He is on an image revamp tour because Xbox has no games this year

lol I'm actually fine with this

[jehurey 3,318]

you know that anti-drug commercial where the father discovers pot in his son's room, and confront's his son about it.

And the father says "where did you learn how to do this?!"

 

and the son shoots back "I LEARNED IT FROM YOU!!!!"

 

 

 

Well its the same thing with Xbox leadership and indie devs.

 

Take a look at this month's GamePass games.

 

 

Look at this shit.

 

Indie devs are looking at shitty and old games and saying to themselves "Xbox gets to charge $15 a month..........for this shit?"

 

"then I might as well make shit, too"

 

"I LEARNED IT FROM WATCH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I wouldn’t be surprised that with the media attention right now this game has more players than Halo Infinite.

This used to be way more common on Playstation platforms, but it seems that xbox is softening their approval process and letting anything through.

For real.  Like what the fuck  

 

Steam wants its games back  

[Twinblade★ 4,213]

Sony somehow allowed this on PSN

I miss the days of console stores being so heavily curated. There was a time where it felt you could nearly play everything that came out.

I honestly had no idea.  Been ages since I've turned on my PS4.  I don't ever remember seeing junk like that.

 

Did this shit happen after their "indie initiative" shit?  I'm talking about both Xbox and PS here.

 

And yea, it seems like they're trying to take a page out of Steam's book and make whatever money they can off this junk.

 

That's really unfortunate.  Steam at least has the tools to mostly deal with filtering out this junk.  You'd hate to start seeing shit like that on your console where you can't as easily do that.

Yeah there's been a fair amount of games like that released recently on PSN. I think Life of Black Tiger started the trend, people saw that you can put together the most broken, unplayable garbage and still sell if for money.

It's not like they can afford to be picky, xflop needs all the games it can get right now
