Valve: Consoles Need User-Generated Content

Rather unsurprisingly, given the limited success of that Counterstrike game, Valve's Doug Lombardi sees user-generated content as a big part of the future of console gaming.


I would argue that it's the biggest component those guys have to get over if they want online to matter

Sounds great! So what are our chances of actually seeing this?

I would love to see that happen, but I think the platform holders are always going to need certification, which means it's usually going to have to be a commercial thing

Oh. So rather than user-generated, we can expect commercially-generated. Bedroom modders, look upon Doug's mighty words and despair.

Consoles must embrace user-created content, says Valve [Gamesindustry]
