Yep! As the old school sociologists correctly point out, the social structures provided by the authorities (in this case the Game Studio) create the boundaries for the culture amidst them to flourish or wither, not the other way around.

So, as the überlords of our little netherworld, let’s provide the gamers with proper tools, share our knowhow and reward activity, but most of all let the results penetrate the structures, set the course and shape the phenomenon.

I personally find myself continuously disliking the sort of user generated content (which I call candy floss) that is only allowed to have an effect on the gaming experience on the very surface (create your uniform and the looks of your character et cetera). That sort of freedom is false consciousness in a culture doomed to wither amidst structures built so tight they suffocate the very creativeness they claim to breed.

So to put it shortly, instead of repeating the old pattern that is all too afraid of the customers true preferences, let’s create something we simply cannot control.

It’s the Freddie Mercury style mustaches that makes you deny the truth about yourself I bet.

I already fell in love with our chaps! But not the homosexual way, you know.
It’s wonderful to see how well Kiira picked up with our vision and made it visual.

Yep, if these mainstream games were cars, they’d be small sized plastic fake-luxury more horsepower than handle kind of vehicles marketed to testosterone overloaded male athletes in their late teens, who participate team sports with individualistic mindset. Sounds lovely? Sure if you’re into the date rape scene or prefer to have conversations using CAPS.
