How to delete game center (or at least make it inert)

How sitting in your Applications folder did this bother you?

No worries, thanks 🙂

Well, in my opinion, I don't see things like GameCenter or especially LaunchPad as ways of Apple forcing us to use certain products or services. Those sorts of things are, in my mind, helpful/fun/productivity increasing, WHATEVER you want to call them.

And launchpad, that's not even a program. It's just an easy way to find all of your Applications.

Well I see those as system Apps instead of user Apps, and I never have a desire to delete system Apps. But it's all a matter of personal opinion, so I suppose if you wanted to, then sure, you should have that right.

I am with Noble Seven on this one.

I can completely understand and relate to drbroom, however if you feel strongly about it, then I would suggest you to switch to another unix distribution that only comes with kernel where you can customize each package. Mac OsX is an operating system written and sold by Apple at the end, which gives them the right to decide what it part of OS and what is not.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this post. You have really empowered me with your post, and removed a real annoyance for me.

Thank you drbroom. Others might not care, but it annoys me having anything I won't use in launchpad.

Thank you for your helpful tips. This was really beneficial. I had to use the sudo command prior to to rmdir. Just thought maybe you could update the original post as others may need this too.
