Hrm... you haven't actually told us what this game called Shovelware would be like, so I'll answer that hypothetical by filling in some blanks.

I would, if it was a hardware store sim. I've never actually wanted to own and manage a hardware store, but damn micromanagement is fun. I'd have a go at keeping stock levels up, customers happy, promoting new products, handling disputes, et cetera. The opportunity to expand the business and eventually buy new stores would be cool, and I'd being able to customise the interior design of my shop if that were part of it. It'd be neat if they added a cool back story (like, you borrowed money from the mafia to buy your first shop) too. Starting the game in a historical period and progressing to a modern age (a la Civ or Sim City) would be the icing on the cake. If a game like that had the name Shovelware, I'd buy it.
