TheRetroManiac Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Looks like they tested the site to see if any action would be taken before unleashing the flood gates on all the games by adding DLC overtime to take up the main page, well swift action was taken quickly, so It's safe to say they prob won't add any more unless they charge people for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, guessing like most people would, that is what I believe they are doing as they are watching these threads being plastered all over the main page is their bread and butter so of course they are keeping an eye on things they're not stupid.

So now we make accusations by assumptions and beliefs? If they'd prey on trophy hunters then either the main game would cost more or the DLC (which is free) would cost something. Or the PS4 version of Stroke the Dog gets DLC too, which as of now didnt happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, that's right the DEVS and this is just a test they wouldn't go all out for no good reason if this site is just gonna essentially hide the games as they don't make the main page etc. These DEVS are not stupid all these types of games are cheap for a reason so more people buy them if they were expensive they would not really sell that way. Make them cheap, and people who have an addiction for leaderboards will buy them in the droves. The formula changed from all gold trophies to now more trophies, but they're now bronze, so it all depends on how you look at it. Patches cost money as well as DLC, so they have got to weigh up if the cost of putting it on the store is too high to warrant completionists coming back for DLC, as most people why compete on the leaderboards do not care are %.

Thrillhelm Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 You have no evidence to bolster your accusation. Btw 1st patch/DLC is free of charge. But if it wasnt then making such an abstract "advertisement" for the game and then handing out the DLC free a bit of a loss calculation in their books. This doesn't add up right. Otterific Games released free DLCs as well e.g. for their Minesweeper clone in a time when shovelware started to become released more often and nobody made the assumption there.

GAchievements Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 As it says on Twitter: "There is going to be a lot of additional content added to the "Stroke" series of games for PS5. All will be completely free, just to give that little bit more value." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a stretch. I don't need to actually see burglars scoping out my house to make me want to lock the door. I don't need to have my computer filled with malware for me to want to to install virus blocking software. I don't need to wait until I have 500 unwanted emails from the same company for me to flag them as spam. You don't implement additions like the DLC Shovelware blocker because you know the purveyors are already trying to circumvent the original ban - you do it to stop them being able to. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonaSaxPayne Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 since the hide shovelware button was implemented, has this actually stopped/reduced the number of ppl (on this site) who usually play them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As time goes on I see you're going more and more out of your way to defend shovelware. Wouldn't you rather see the shovelware companies have problems so maybe they quit making the games and you would no longer need them to compete? You actually like playing and buying all that crap? people on you side of this argument are giving up and leaving the site. More and more people are seeing it as the scam and waste of time it is. Nothing has been better for this site since I became a member than taking the shovelware off the front page of new games. I think work still needs to be done but the sooner these companies fail the better. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen to this^ I used to see these games as a mildly amusing joke to kill a few minutes before I turned off my system for the night but they quickly ceased being even remotely amusing so I stopped buying them. Now, I just want to see these trash developers burn and take all their garbage games with them! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry buddy, but you're just coming across as the shovelware version of an elitist. You're the only person who defends these games and it's a waste of time for you. Your arguments make the forums more negative than they need to be and that's not what I signed up for. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhyrxianLibrarin Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Alright, now that Sly has seen and apparently started to fix the issue, I see this issue as resolved and will close the thread before it goes off the rails like all the rest did. Thanks for the quick turnaround @Sly Ripper! Edit: Actually, is it fixed? https://psnprofiles.com/games has a toggle for hide/show shovelware, but https://psnprofiles.com/games/dlc does not.
