I wondering why, four years after launch, PS4 hasn't platimun games yet.

Anyone know why?

I bought my PS4 last november so there are a lot of "old" games from 2014 or 2015 that i would like buy (of course, in physical format), so... wouldn't be great if sony will release any ecomonic line of games?

Thank you for your answers.

Doesn't need to.

Besides, that's up to developers.

I don't work for Sony lol, but based on how this gen is going, I doubt it will happen.

@DERHYUS: Are just posing that as a question or are you asking about it due to wanting discounts on games. There are tons of games that are $20 and below right now. You do not need a label for games to be cheap. You can games like Knack, Killzone, Infamous, The Evil Within, Tearaway, Until Dawm, Bloodborne (orginal), Ratchet and Clank, Street Fighter 5, The Last of Us, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Doom, Tales of Zesteria, Final Fantasy X, The Mega Man Collection, Shovel Knight, Etc. The greatest hits line of titles usually have questionable color schemes. Cheap games are already available. The only reason the "greatest hits," "platinum," or "best for family" lines were introduced was to get more people to buy games that already sold well. These lines were made purely for marketing purposes. A ton of games are already cheap. There is no reason to really introduce a line at this point in time.

You can get quite a few cheap games that are 18+ months old if you're in the US. In the UK we have only one major retailer and that is GAME and they keep prices ash ig has possible for as long as possible. You could get a preowned game but then with modern online components, that can be problematic.

the problem is ... most games need update to make them closer to a good game and too many games need an online part to make it survive more than 4h and so a shit ton of game will be unplayable in a few years and many of the first game that came out have no one play it anymore so forget online play.
