I agree. The bidding process already has enough inherent excitement without the need to add a useless gimmick. If potential buyers want an item, they will bid on it whether or not a game is involved.

Personally, I love video games, but the idea that adding these juvenile games will somehow attract more buyers to the marketplace doesn't make sense. It seems like a trivial fix for a problem that needs EFFECTIVE solutions - fighting fraud, slamming ripoff sellers, fixing ridiculous posting delays in search, fixing bugs, bugs, and more bugs.

Ebay seems to be ignorant of the law of diminishing returns. Constantly making misguided changes and adding more complexity just creates more confusion, more bugs, more buyer and seller disatisfaction, and more motivation to shop at Amazon.com. Ebay needs to stop trying to transform itself into some kind of bloated circus, and go for a lean and mean site where people want to spend their time and money. Games ain't it.
