UCG as a substitute for a strong game -- usually not a good idea. But also not a new idea (remember the Pinball Construction Set for the C64).
UGC as a complement to a strong game -- a good idea. That is what LBP for the PS3 aimed to achieve.
Malestrom does not seem to be able to make these distinctions -- which are not at all subtle. Instead, he is beginning to see everything as either black-or-white, his-way-or-the-highway, right-or-wrong, red ocean-or-blue ocean.
For almost everything in this world, there are many shades of gray (or purple). The ability to see this separates successful pragmatists from unsuccessful ideologues.
Now, how would you characterize Shiggy and Sean? Think about it -- but not too much as it should be fairly obvious at this point.
And as for the comments by Shigeru Miyamoto, I see something much more akin to SSBB stages or LBP than a construction kit.

 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
