Get paid for creating LittleBigPlanet content

I see this getting expensive fast. I don't think I would pay for that

No.

i'm just glad that it's not like somebody can just charge for levels... it has to achieve enough popularity/critical acclaim for it to even get to that level. but i truly hope that very few people actually charge for their levels... it would completely defeat the purpose if littlebigplanet if that does happen (IMO), though i'm sure some people would come up with much cooler idea if there was a lucrative side to the whole deal...

I think what a lot of people are missing here is that the user most be approved only after creating lots of high quality stuff. It's not like people can randomly charge for there stuff. These are going to be Media Molecule approved designers that are able to charge money.

It all comes to quality. that said, I hope that charging for content doesn't become mandatory

I'd pay a very small fee, maybe 1 dollar or less for a high-quality user-generated level with the expectation that it would provide at least 1 hour of new content.

And it would have to be well-reviewed by the community.

They said individuals may be able to make money once they prove themselves worthy as a "developer". They never said individuals can choose to charge people to download their levels. They also never said that we, the consumers, will be paying for the levels. It could be Media Molecule paying the "developer" for the created levels. I'd be willing to pay for a user created ad-on that is approved by Media Molecule.

Assumptions are assumptions.

Listen retards: READ the facts. Not everyone will be able to to charge for their content.

Only creators will be able to charge for their content once they reach a certain level of popularity, and its not even like they will charge just like that. Its a option in the game, i think its brilliant and if you dont want to pay for it then dont.

D sane: "Why would I pay for something that I could create myself?"

Because you're probably retarded and wont be able to create it anyway?

I would pay if and only if there was some seriously amazing user created content. Like, orders of magnitude better than any and all of the free stuff.

So it really depends on how well they pick who's allowed to charge $$ for their stuff.

The only reason to buy a Ps3

Might want to a) remember this is Sony, not MediaMolecule talking and b) read this news story which basically says this is a Sony exec getting ahead of himself.

They found a way to ruin Littlebigplanet I didn't think it was possible.

How about we charge for the shit and have the awesome stuff free?

:(

I'm still not sold that this game is actually going to be fun to play. The platforming seems pretty loose and floaty. No matter how easy they've made the tools it's still a ton of work to make anything worthwhile. I don't think I've even seen people talking about how the game actually plays beyond being a kind of fun sandbox. But if that's the best it's going to be it doesn't really matter how great the content creation tools are, that novelty won't wear well with time if it doesn't have a solid game backing it.

@mistic - that's the great thing though, you can just make your own content for FREE.

Guess people aren't pumped that Sony is trying to find a way for individuals to flex their talents and get some money back for their time and skills. They are trying to encourage the next great game designer here folks!! It's like Sony sending out golden tickets for people to visit their video game creation shop. I bet if they see someone with extreme talent and creativity out there, they snatch them up and hire them.

I love how people jump to conclusions before seeing how it plays out in the real world.

Sony is being an innovator, a pioneer....I'm not sure why this is a bad thing. I bet a lot of aspiring game designers are chomping at the bit for the chance to get paid for some of the levels they build.
