Why is this an issue? We can just make shit maps called blank_NEOGAF and make a fortune.
Yeah, lord knows it's a bad thing to reward extraordinary efforts with publicity and phat loot.
nailed it.Nobody's going to pay for anything.
Up to and including LBP itself.
lol
:bow year of the PS3
:bow raising gaming experiences by lowering expectations
:bow sony, company of japan, japan of company
Wow. Way to fuck your super promising game in the ass.
obviously MM can't design a decent level themselves so they needed to take this route
not surprised to see undeserved LBP hate on this forum, either.Oh dear, dyfb is hallucinating another anti-Sony conspiracy. Someone give him his sedatives.

Nobody's hating LBP. We're hating the idea of making a "create and share" concept and then introducing "but you have to pay for the best stuff."

Thats because you are a greedy person. You should contribute freely to the community.

i cant wait until this finally comes out inoctdecearly 2009easter 2009now our summer 2009 blockbusterfall 2009.
it's already had some sony delay tax so hopefully it is on it's way.
actually, i was referring more to the absurd "MM can't make good levels themselves" and "nobody will buy LBP" statements, etc. i've never called out some sort of conspiracy. :lolnot surprised to see undeserved LBP hate on this forum, either.Oh dear, dyfb is hallucinating another anti-Sony conspiracy.

still buying it
should be plenty of free levels to dl
also, can't people just make levels and post them to their website or whatever so players could just download/install to ps3 that way (like ps3 game saves), circumventing the whole upload to psn thing altogether?
this is comparable to valve letting some mods (like gmod) charge.

couldn't you just recreate a level someone is charging for and offer it for free? or can you actually use custom sounds/images/etc or need authorization to upload them? (like the ut3 maps)
Oh my.depends what you mean by big. i think over the long term, a million copies is definitely within their reach. depends how they market it and how the game and it's community features actually work out. i'm not really making predictions, other than denouncing the claim that "nobody will buy it." the game's getting major buzz from just about everywhere. unless something happens, it looks like it'll review quite well and continue to get buzz after it's release.
dfyb, you aren't really one of those people that thinks this is going to sell big numbers, are you?
I absolutely adore the look and idea of this game, but I have trouble seeing how anyone thinks this game is anything other than niche. Even on a successful platform, it would be a pretty small seller.

Now we are talking! Boo at people thinking it'd be cool to actually earn some money from work well done, hurray for plagiarism and ripping others off!
and if team garry wanted, they could have turned down the offer and continued making updates to a free gmod.this is comparable to valve letting some mods (like gmod) charge.
Gmod versions 1-9 were all free. Valve, noticing the popularity of it so much, gave the source code to Garry so that he could make an upgraded version, on the conditions that: A) the new Garry's Mod would be sold as a Valve product, and B) that he remove all downloads of any free version from his website, and cease all support for them.
It's not comparable at all.
ms fud.QuoteThey already talked about themed levels that will be made. They already have a Helghast Sackboy in the game and they have been caught working on a Kratos Sackboy.
i'm thinking these levels might end up as "premium" levels....

yeah, that's surely going to be not allowed right?
people will be able to just copy pay for content and give it away for free? That completely undermines the ability to charge for levels.
there surely has to be some protection against that or else no one will bother putting that effort in to create free levels if someone can just come along and copy it.
I'm starting to think this clause is for the companies wanting to create levels with custom assets.
But it was gonna be free :(
as opposed to giving it away for free and getting free advertising?
hmmm.

Some of you guys cry like little girls about everything. I don't see anything wrong with this. It's an option for the consumers and for the creators. No one is forcing you to buy it and no one is forcing them to sell it.
Maybe. I'll see how this pans out. I sure as hell won't be charging for my levels.I'd charge for mine if people were willing to pay for it. Fuck a community son I'm trying to get paid. Alla dat.
