Malstrom addresses UGC comments

[.jayderyu]

Sorry, but Malstrom is redirecting. He keeps on going on about a miscalculation of Nintendo by doing UGC. Fine I don't recall many if at all comments that Nintendo weren't doing UGC. The focus is that Nintendo had only one UGC game. THe problem with Malstroms comments are in fact that he is ignoring that there is very massively successful UGC games out their. Just not on consoles.

UGC requries the right tools, creators AND the right way to share them. The TWO games he focuses on very much lack the appropriate support. The sharing mechanics are very limited and consoles haven't had enough open free form development to attract the mass UGC people. So with limited support it's easy to see that creators will overlook the games in question.

NWN, Half Life, Warcraft 3(nod to scruffy),Oblivion, Morrowind are just a few. Some games that aren't even suppose to have UGC do. Diablo 2, Baldurs Gate, Fallout. These 3 games don't have anyform of UGC design, but by gods people certainly hacked it so they can.

Then Malstrom goes on to ignore the application of BOS, the big element that he's pushing Business and new direction models. BOS clearly states that a new product alone cannot succeed just becuase it's new. It requires approriate support. Yellow Tail wine didn't succeed because of it's taste. It's because they threw out conventions and made sure that is was easily drinkable. WiiMusic miserable failed at that support. But also noticed how the PC UGC games don't have sharing tools, but still succeed? that's because the open enviroment of the internet is the ultimate sharing tool, not the pre structured elements of the software. So WiiMusic BIG FAILURE was that it was too structured in console design. When WiiMusic should have been oriented in Internet design.

Well i've had my word which will not be heard :P
