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.

You obvious don't have any kids or nieces and nephews.  My niece and nephews range from 2 to 8 and they eat stuff like Chicken Shoot up.

They don't care how pretty the graphics are or how good the gameplay is, they just care something funny is happening on the screen.  Things like perfectly executed controls and fine, detailed visuals are lost on the average six year old.  Games like Chicken Shoot exist because parents need to be able to buy the $10 game rather than the $50 one that the kid gets the same exact enjoyment out of.

If the developers set out to make Chicken Shoot something more meaningful, it would no longer be a $10 game.

Also, it's could not care less.  You could not care less.  Saying you could care less is the exact opposite of what you want to say.

     I actually have a couple younger cousins. I sent them my entire N64 collection and PS collection a while back. I remember when I was younger, all the games I played were relatively quality, with the exception of Ninja Turtles. The games we are dealing with here are near unplayable.

 

And please, don't correct my grammar. I know that tactic gives off the impression that you are of a higher echelon than me but it really isn't necessary...........just like saying the word echelon lol. I also say "Liberry" instead of "library", but everyone knows what I mean.
