Back before the releases of Spore and LittleBigPlanet, we heard about the promise of user-generated content, or UGC: games would give users the tools to shape the game in their own images, by building levels and modeling objects and then share them over the net. To quote Sony: “Play, Create, Share”. But user-generated content turned out to be a niche. Not everyone has the chops to learn the tools, and even fewer gamers have an idea they want to see through. Instead of revolutionising games, it merely adds another rung on the ladder from “player” to “gamemaker”.
What do you expect, casual gamers like console gamers can't focus on a game outside the box so to speak. They should do an article on User Created content on the PC platform.
Where the user created content:- Can be better then the actual game.
- In some cases patch the game to fix map exploits and other glitches
- Help sell more games.
- Extend the life of the game
But hey the PC community has been doing this since Doom....
