Caress the turtle: Sony switches advertising for PS Store shovelware and fans are confused

Sony now seems to advertise for absolute shovelware from the PS Store.

In the Playstation Store it is becoming increasingly difficult to find good games. This is because they are buried under countless titles that can simply be referred to as shovelware. So games that should make as much money as possible with minimal effort and hardly go through as real games. Some of them are apparently even advertised by Sony.

Fans are surprised at Sony advertising for shovelware from the Playstation Store

That's what it's about:There are tons of games in the PlayStation Store that don't actually earn this name. We have reported on it several times and for a short time it seemed as if it were. But the latest developments are more of an opposite picture.

Sony advertising is currently switching on for this:Official advertising advertisements from the official Playstation account have appeared on Instagram, which give very thinking. For example, an advertisement for Stroke the Tortoise aka was stroked the turtle.

Are you wondering what kind of game this is?No problem: on theOfficial Playstation Store side to stroke the turtleis it [called:

"The turtle is quite large and quite hard, but that's no reason not to give her a stroke. They love to be caressed, just like everything else, whether they actually feel that it is still up to debate. Don't let it stop!

What's going on there?Obviously, not even a person looked over the translation here, otherwise the small caress/stroke maleur would certainly have noticed. The rest also sounds extremely strange, and this game is also available in two completely identical, but somehow apparently different editions.

It doesn't stop there yet:If you want, you cancaress almost every animal in the Playstation Store. Even hedgehogs or fish! For a mere 44.99 euros you get the complete stroke, uh, stroke pack.

This is not well received by fans:On the net, many players and insta users are wondering about them extremely strange advertisements. It's not just about stroking animals, but also about bouncing burgers, for example:

How can something like that happen?We assume that this is an automatism problem. Apparently, any titles from the PlayStation Store on Instagram are automatically advertised. However, why it hits these disposable games and not first party PS5 Exclusives, but remains puzzling.

Have you already seen such advertisements? Would you like to stroke a turtle?
