Ask indie developers how they like to be pushed to the bottom of the store page by garbage games or how hard it has become to actually find the good games among the trash.

Letting bad games onto a store front is harmful to the whole industry. Valve is actively supporting it while Sony seems to have become more lax and might be headed in the same direction.

Those garbage games are often by indie developers too though...

eh, I've no problem with it. I'll never complain about more choice. I may not like coffee but I don't hate stores that sell it, I just buy things I do like instead. Why should games be any different?

Those people cannot rightfully be called developers. The same way people who make Mario maker levels cannot be called that.

The coffee metaphor is bad. The correct metaphor would be that you have coffee in every part of the store in between all kinds of products. The store is then 10 times as big so the items you actually want to buy are at the very back end of the store to where you have to walk 5 minutes. If you want to compare 2 products you always have to walk a few meters between the products because it's all just coffee in between. Also all the coffee is by the same brand.

This has nothing to with choice. Showing you one product and then offer you 100 times nothing, you still have only one actual product to choose.

This is about actual garbage. "Games" that aren't finished, games with the bare minimum of cotent to be even called games, games that run at 10fps, games that crash, games in early access that will never be finished, games with false advertising. This isn't about games you might not like, it's about actual garbage that is not fit for consumption.

We as gamers should make clear that there needs to be a certain entry level of quality and that garbage is not tolerated.
