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’s Brain Game 

A meme-packed Roblox quiz show created by shovelware’s studios with collaboration with SMART technologies, where 1–6 players pick trivia categories, and win wacky prizes. Hosted by the legendary Dancing Banana (yep, Peanut Butter Jelly Time), alongside a mysterious voice called the Announcer. Expect utter madness—banana nephews, audience members falling over or randomly setting stuff on fire, and Boardy the SMART Board handling visuals. Players earn points for correct answers and speed, with bonus prize questions tossed in for extra chaos. You always win something: prizes range from 10,000 bottles of dog shampoo to a rusty biplane or Banana-shaped ice cream bars. Duplicates turn into coins, which you can spend on cosmetics like podium skins, buzzer sounds, and text styles.
“Bro, I joined Shovelware’s Brain Game for the trivia, and left with 10,000 bottles of dog shampoo and a podium on fire. Best game night ever”

“I was about to win the round, but Boardy popped up with some pixelated math question and his smug “let’s do some visual learning” voice—dude needs to chill.”
