Dreams monetization would allow creators to be compensated for their works while also limiting increasingly entitles perceptions from society that creators ought to work for free.

while I agree that no one should work for free, this isn't work - it's a game.

Leeroyw2566d ago

We all want to get paid to game but this is not the way.
Go elsewhere if you think you're good enough but if not we will appreciate your efforts here in other ways.

Rude-ro2566d ago

Or have a place that could help open that door.
Little big planet actually created job opportunities to some players.
Dreams will most likely do that as well.

Put in pay to play in dreams, then you are killing the purpose of it.

@Rude-ro

Totally agree. If you start making people have to pay to play their creations, they will have a harder time getting people to try their content and thus making it less exposed to potential employers or ratings they would've have garnered that would really showcase their talents.

CP_Company2567d ago

If they are so good, why they don't work at gaming company?
In other case, they creating on their own will, in their own time and place.

I am playing football, it is big hobby, should I get money from other players? From ball company or stadium owners?

IRetrouk2566d ago

Sorry but no, dreams is literally designed for you to make and share stuff, you buy the game knowing this is the main feature, why would you expect payment from it.

Nodoze2566d ago

Don't dirty this up with monetization. PLEASE do not.

william_cade2566d ago

The writer's opinion is sht. It's a game not a job. We shouldn't have to pay for what others have agreed to freely share via a game.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing24d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit24d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing24d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9224d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
