Why would somebody make a game like that?

[J T]

I just saw this virtual yard sale game for sale on Steam:


Seriously? With all the technological power available to us in modern computing, somebody decided that a game of virtual yard sale would be a good use of time and resources? Real yard sales are fairly boring. Why the hell would anyone play this?


I thought this would be a good thread for games that probably should have never been made because their concepts are so stupid.

I don't know, doesn't seem anymore ridiculous than the concepts for games like Viva Pinata, The Sims or Harvest Moon. You don't know if it's good until you play it

[Flake]

It'd be pretty awesome if it was a stat based game. 'Yes! I leveled up. Should I put my points in selling fake antiques or making cardboard signs?'

I love going to yardsales!

I'll play this game, because you never know, you might just find NWC in-game.

[JohnBaxterly]

Yeah, I'm with the others: I would play this.

You don't know if it's good until you play it

yeah, it sounds like it could be fun. based off the description it almost sounds like a scavenger hunt.

[JohnBaxterly]

Just googled it and typed "virtual yard sake game", which sounds just as entertaining, eh?

I'm always up for a new game concept, as long as it doesn't immediately trigger many "bad idea" red flags in my mind. Besides, the graphics look quite nice.

It's a silly veneer covering up one of those lazy "find the object" game.

Deadly Towers. I played it for hours as a kid and the whole time was like "who would make a game that is so confusing?!?! who would enjoy a game like this?!"
