The May PlayStation Plus titles (that we mentioned on Wednesday) got the subscribers a bit angry, as the games that Sony provide to them aren’t that top-notch.

PushSquare mentioned how 78 (seventy-eight!) per cent of its users showed dissatisfaction about the two games that will be available for free in the PlayStation Plus from tomorrow. The site is not alone: there is a Change.org petition that currently has more than 17 thousand signatures, requesting Sony to change the two games.

The petition was directly aimed at Jim Ryan, the current president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment who said in 2016 at E3 that the backwards game compatibility is not a good idea (and yet, the PlayStation 5 will support PlayStation 4 games). The two games (Cities: Skylines PlayStation 4 Edition, Farming Simulator 19) are called „dumbfounding.”

„Please join us and make the change. Do it for the NHS, do it for all those suffering in isolation. Do it for the gamers! Then we will clap for you, Jim Ryan. Until then we will remain saddened, left out and let down, in a lockdown quarantine nightmare simply growing corn,” the description reads. We’re not going to quote the replies, as they would require censorship.

The petition makes some sense, though. There was one time when Sony DID change one of the PlayStation Plus games in the last moment. Last July, they wanted to put Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 as one of the freebies (which itself is weird, two months from the 2020 game’s launch…). It was replaced by Detroit: Become Human, the newest game by Quantic Dream that has recently become independent.

Giving two simulators is indeed not the best idea, and Sony doesn’t have much time to swap the games (or one of them) left. Not everyone likes sims, and there’s not much variety here…
