Hey ERA.
You're looking great. You been hitting the gym or something?
That's great. Look, I wanted to talk about Dreams.
No, man, the game.
Every time a thread pops up, someone asks if creators will be compensated for their work.
I think the argument stems from one often levelled at companies who try to take advantage of people, often times professionals, getting them to work for 'exposure' in the form of a creative competition or summink.
Most people - again, I suspect creative professionals - think this is unfair and creators should be compensated for their effort.
I'm not so sure that particular argument applies here.
For strawma—-uh I mean starters, it seems to presume everyone is creative for compensation.
There is joy in the act of creation. It can be therapeutic. It can be cool to show off what you do and get a buzz off the praise. It can just be something to do that's a bit more worthwhile than nihilistically grinding shite out on Destiny 2 or whatever you play. I dunno, I'm not your goddamn biographer.
If your income is tied to your creativity (i.e. you're a jobbing artist or writer), that's one thing... though you should probably stop dicking around on Dreams and get back to the hustle
If you want to break into a creative industry, then Dreams is probably the wrong set of tools to reach that goal (though there is some limited potential there).
I dunno. Maybe you think Sony are profiting off of everyone's hard work by selling more copies or something? If it's getting people to be actively creative, especially those who may never have been able to before, I'm not against that either.
This isn't about me and my half-formed brain spaffings. What do YOU think?
Yeah. YOU.
Whatever your thoughts, rather than derail threads celebrating creations, I'm vainly hoping we can keep most (if not all) of the discussion here and also find out via the poll how many people believe Sony should be compensating creators.
Speak your brains, ERA. Speak them all over my eager little fizzog.
