i was fearing this....

this will force creator to be more original or at least no name their games exactly like copyrighted material...

at least no company have whined yet.

Who cares? There's a billion other things you can make without jacking ideas from popular video games. This thing is like a breathing living organism that grows every day.

I love the Sony Defense Force. You guys can justify anything.

So the phrase "failure to launch" didn't exist before that stupid movie was made? Come on. LBP was supposed to be soooooo good. If I were a PS3 owner, I would have been excited about it. But the publicity stunt with the recall, the server problems, and now the heavy moderation has overshadowed all the good publicity about it.

In my opinion, LBP is turning out to be more like what the naysayers thought it would be rather than what the fans thought it would be.

 

 So, wait, two things that are dead and gone now, ie the server issues (that I wasn't even aware of) and the "publicity stunt", and a third thing, which appears to have been reported by one site, and that every other open community gets (surely you must know about the issues Youtube is causing Google); these three things overshadow the remarkably and rarely seen amount of positive press that this game is getting.

"Dead and gone" is not equal to "never happened".  LBP seems like it's been more annoying than fun so far.  And the moderation is being reported everywhere.

I can't believe people are actually surprised by this.

I agree, during the beta there were so many people hyped about people trying to recreate Mario Bros, including some beta levels including uploading the music from the original game. I was really surprised that it was hardly, if ever, mentioned that there was no chance that any of this content would ever be allowed. I'm a little surprised if they remove first party content, but once you start making exceptions then the line gets blurred a little bit.

In fact if the game developers wanted to, they could send a cease and desist letter to IOI demanding that he removes all their copyrighted images from Vgchartz, but this website generates them publicity so they won't do it. Generally it will only happen if their revenue stream gets affected or if someone is directly profiting from using their content, ie user levels in LBP.

You couldn't be more wrong IMO.  I can't stop playing this game.  Even if I don't enjoy someone's level as a whole, I usually see at least 1 thing in their level that I find interesting or creative.  The ones that are themed after existing copyrighted material are usually terrible (except for Libidius).  It's the original creations such as "World of Color" or "Azure Palace" that are the best.  As for the level I'm working on, it is completely original and out of my brain.  I'm pretty sure I have at least 1 or 2 ideas in there that nobody else has implemented yet.  I won't give anything away until I publish it, but the tentative title is "Accidental Deputy".

 



Keep this in mind when reading what I type...

I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.
