Suit yourself but level editors are here even in the early NES days. And even Nintendo want that as a feature in their upcoming titles. We cant change disruption and we cant certainly change "change". Anyone here remembers when the wiimote first unveiled and how the casual boom change gaming forever?
Even whether we accept this or not this is the future we will having. Most traditional games today are dried up with new ideas and content. We're already on the dead end, if not for DOTA RTS could be dead right now. New units, maps and missions will never cut it.
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
