Player Unveils Genius Way To Find New Games, Proves PS Plus Has One Obvious Missing Feature

A passionate PlayStation fan shares a fun way to help solve fellow players' Decision Paralysis and inadvertently pitches a feature that should definitely be added to PlayStation Plus.

The response to MaulShadow's post is a clear enough sign that such a feature would openly be used by the community as thousands of commenters actively turned to a randomizer to choose their next
