Why some people criticizing UGC? UGC was the future of gaming

If user-generated content is the future of gaming, then wouldn't gaming no longer be anything like it is today. I like the idea of user-generated content but only in moderation. Otherwise I accept my limitations as a person and leave up the game making and content making to the "professionals". Although I could play some kid's platformer created on LBP, I'll take Miyamoto's New Super Mario Bros. over that any day.

So i like the idea of it but I don't want it to become the future in anyway. Just a option for those who want it and allow them to create all those crazy things.

 

 

But it was optional, thats the beauty of it. Do you noticed that games that have UGC have the most number of levels? Boom Blox stages are what? 300+ in singleplayer alone? Sorry I didnt count but Im  sure its 200+

Well it needs to be optional.  Tell ya the truth, in almost every game I've had with this kind of ability, I have barely touched or not even used.  Really when I buy a video game, I'm paying for the work the developer has done.  Really it doesn't feel like a videogame when I'm working to make the game fun... for most level creators, that's what it feels like to me.

 

 

 

thats why its optional and thats why developers added level creators. Because people demands it. Even how sucky or good the levels are. I didnt say that UGC will replaced traditional gaming but it certainly the future and a important part of gaming in the near future. If not, gaming companies will not invest on it. PC gaming was still alive because of mods...
