My point stands. As I said nobody cared, you admitted. If there're numbers people cared about the most in SimCity, it's the finance :D
In what way the fact I've build the fortress and shafts makes Minecraft UGC-driven? And even that I did for a purpose of defending myself and getting better tools, weapons and armor. For f*ck's sake read the damn definition, Wikipedia will do: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UGC
Told you it's getting off-hand :D |
By saying "even if they never checked the points", I was saying that "regardless if your point could even ever exist, it still doesn't exist, because the nature of the game is still what I said it was, not what you said it was". You now bend to my definitino of it by saying "it was finance". And now you see how you are completely wrong? Well if you don't get it now, perhaps you have a learning disability. Might want to get an appointment to have that checked out. Sim City is about performing well according to a certain context that is driven by the game. You build a city properly and keep building and building. That is the point of the game.
The point I am making, which you are completely oblivious to, like a child with fingers in his ears, is that you never had to build a fortress. You did so because you defined a goal for the game yourself, and then created necessary stepping stones to accomplishing that goal. You created the game for yourself. You took a bunch of legos out of a box and said, "instead of reading these instructions, I'm going to build my own thing. And now I'm going to use it with my other toys. And now I'm going to build the tallest one I can, and now I'm going to build a rollercoaster. And now I'm going to use them for a class project." Your inherent creativity GIVES life to the game. Without your ability to create context, the game is lifeless and dull, as are useless bits of colored plastic.
Yes for fucks sake, read the wiki!
It clearly says that it's definition is not the entirety of UGC! Maybe you need to read other sources besides a wiki? lol?
While UGC could be made by a user and never published online or elsewhere, we focus here on the work that is published in some context...
"Implicit incentives: These incentives are not based on anything tangible. Social incentives are the most common form of implicit incentives."
"i.e. users must add their own value to the work."
You added your own value to Minecraft, and that right there is the crux of everything.
You call UGC one thing when the wiki itself uses language that allows for other context.
That is the last I'm going to say on the matter.
Keep listening to Malstrom hide his mistakes.
