The problem with Spore's user generated content is that is pointless. It's only fun to look at creatures and building has made for so long. In LBP, what others make, you can actually play. That's a much better idea.

The 'problem' is casuality. Spore is similar to sims, which makes it excellent cash cow for EA and incredible game for casuals, but total crap for core gamers. I personally dislike Spore and think that it is way too simple and repetitive, but casuals... casuals are the great buying power now. Core gamers can suck it. :)

LBP, pfft... Casuals want even more simpler than that. Something pointless... Something stupid... Something really easy...

 

I ´m a core gamer and I liked the sims(the first and till the 3rd expasion of the second one) very much. The big thing about spore is that the first public and early builds were the core gamers, people who played civ and Empire Earth and saw a huge possibility of conversion, then some stupid come with the idea of attracting the casuals, so come the big bomb that Spore was. They could bring the early builds, work on it and release it as the real SPore, and forget they ever made the first one, just like they should do with the last simcity.
