[Deleted User]

A new blog post from Shuhei Yoshida showcased Playstation Indies, a new initiative for indie games.

I’m pleased to formally announce the PlayStation Indies initiative. With PlayStation Indies, we hope to spotlight and support the best of the best indie games being published on PlayStation and the entire indie community as a whole.
Our goal is to make PlayStation the best place to develop, find, and play great indie games.
While details are still forthcoming, we are also happy to confirm a new indie title will join the PlayStation Now service every month, starting with Hello Neighbor in July.
Please look out for our monthly PS Now posts for more information!
Today, alongside news of the PlayStation Indies initiative, we’re happy to debut nine imaginative and exciting titles coming to both PS4 and PS5.
Stay tuned throughout the morning for these reveals, which we’ll gather up here once they’ve all concluded. Can’t wait to hear what you think!

Oh good so the PS store will get flooded with half-assed games like the eShop and Steam do? /s

I also can't help but think PC would be the best place to develop indie games. But I'm no developer. I guess they mean in terms of buyers being able to find your stuff? That's certainly an issue for both pc and eShop.

I'll be interesting to see how this develops.

They're going with the whole -- for every 1000 shit games, someone just might create something amazing.

Didn't they do this last time? Or is it just such a trite statement (of course we are going to look for bedroom/garage coders that might make a mega hit) that so many people have done it that it all blends together.
