Why do so few games nowadays let you freely import/create your own content? Are there any decent games left that still support the concept of "not jewing the player at every turn" by letting you use whatever you've downloaded as a skin, instead of expecting you to pay $89.99 for a rifle skin that looks like a mixture of Monster Energy package and vomit?

I don't think games that have modding are in short supply.

Because when you can just reskin it, why would you ever pay for their reskins?

What a waste of potential that was. I don't know how that Shini guy put as much time into it as he did.

Because everyone will just complain that you gotta do shit on your own in order for the game to actually have content.
They'll say it's a shitty game with no content, that the Devs are lazy and expect you to pick up after them and do their job.

If the game has a fuck ton of base assets anyway, it becomes irrelevant. Why give option for custom content when you already have a fucton of options?

Also because the japanese fucking hate that shit because they suck creatively and will complain that other players can create better characters than them. Go check out the backlash Black Desert Online had for having a character creator.

Also because if you can add your own content, it will often end up feeling disconnected from the game itself, like autistic little shits that don't care about the world they are in and vice versa, not to mention any sort of dialog becomes a nightmare. It's either something generic that fits everyone but doesn't fit your character at all or there's not even dialogue.

Nice way to make it look worst

Elona+

Whoever made that has some horrifically shit taste.

It's fun to have characters with different art styles there. Like a Guts straight from the manga.
But those characters are pretty shit and Homura is a giant.

The madoka box comic is not THAT bad

cos swastikas
cos pools closed

All over my car

Almost any game on PC considering the ease of replacing textures? Besides that, MUGEN will always remain the ultimate. Regardless, very few games are better or worse for allowing players to upload their own stupid bullshit.

Shame the online is dead

Because importing static sprites is easy.

...

Do you even skinner box, my friend?

Strictly speaking that's not really a skinner box, that's pavlovian operant conditioning, as the stimulus is displaced, not self-mediated.

Somewhat this, but less maymay heavy. A lot of it became a liability when people started plastering porn all over their shit to scare the children.

I remember one of the Rainbow Six Vegas games had a face scanner that you could upload an image of your face from different angles and it would fit it over a head model so you could BE your character. So of course instead of scanning their faces as it was intended, people were just scanning their dicks and running around with dick-faces. I bet a lot of people on the dev team got into deep shit for that.

Is there like a psych board or something for discussing all the psychological traps people make?

You could go to Holla Forums and search for the 'forum sliding' images as a start.
May not be as psych-o-logickel as you may want tho

user that set includes literally all of formal language.
