How do you personally advertise/promote games?

I remember when visiting Gamestop, I would always move Punchout and other games in front of the shovelware on the shelves.

 

The only thing you're doing is needlessly bothering the employees and stopping people from seeing the games their kids probably want.

As for me, if I like a game, I tell my friends, if I don't like the game, I tell my friends.

I frankly don't care for M&Ms cart racing or Chicken Shoot-----the entire world would be better off without them. It's not like I rearrange the entire stock either. Maybe a few games. I know exactly what the shovelware is. Most gamers may consider MySims Agents shovelware, but I didn't bother those. I mean the true crap.

Some people actually buy and enjoy that crap.  They don't make it because they're trying to make the best game ever, they make it because they know it's something kids will absolutely love.

It isn't made for gamers, it's made for the average six year old.  You could either spend $50 on a game that you place in front of chicken shoot that the kid will enjoy for two weeks and then move onto something else or you could spend $10 on Chicken Shoot that the kid will enjoy just as much for two weeks before moving onto something else.

You're not only needlessly bothering the employees, you're also fucking over parents.

I could care less. It's not like I'm deleting the game off the face of the earth; they just have to look one game case behind it.

And really, people are much more likely to get extremely frustrated over Chicken Shoot or Anubis 2 than enjoy it, and yes that includes the kiddies.
