shovelware

1. Software that is hastily made, without proper testing, and 'shoveled' down consumers throats in order to make some quick cash.

2. Software that is preloaded onto a computer, that does nothing but slow down performance and does nothing beneficial, but is added in order to increase price or add appeal into purchasing a computer.

1. Battlefield 2: Special Forces Expansion Pack is a recent example of shovelware; it causes CTD's, system failures, massive performance decreases, and addresses NONE of the original game problems.

2. Frank bought a computer just because it had a lot shovelware preloaded onto it, and now it takes 45 minutes to start up.

shovelware

1. Really bad games that were made just to make a quick buck.
2. Games that are on sales of like 99% almost all time to appear in the "Best deals" list, and once they racked up enough purchases, they end the sale and the game ends up in the "Best sellers" list, resulting in more purchases.
3. Games that prefer quantity over quality.
4. A port of a FREE mobile game to a console and having it as a paid game on there.

Vroom in the Night Sky is a prime example of shovelware. Who plays that?
