Every time I load up the play store it only shows me games. Is there anyway to customize it so I see other apps besides games?
Google Play Store only shows games
Question
Answer
There does not seem to be a way of setting view preferences to a greater degree but you may be interested in launching the Play Store to directly show a collection (it wouldn't omit games). This command can help:
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.android.vending/com.google.android.finsky.activities.MainActivity -d "http://play.google.com/store/apps/collection/<collection_name>" --user 0
<collection_name> refers to a name of available collections. Per the document Linking to Your Products the available collections are:
----------------------------------------------------
Collection collection_name

E.g.: to directly launch into Editor's choice, the command would be:
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.android.vending/com.google.android.finsky.activities.MainActivity -d "http://play.google.com/store/apps/collection/editors_choice" --user 0
As for launching the app a bit comfortably, you can use my answer available here. It would help you to setup a customized app shortcut for Play Store on home screen.
