Last month when I was trying to decide between getting an XBOX 360 and a PS3, I was tempted to go with the PS3 because of Little Big Planet. Thank goodness I didn’t make that mistake. It turns out Sony held out the promise of user generated content only to bring down the ban hammer on most of the decent content that people have been making available.
And, of course, they don’t bother to inform those folks whose content gets deep sixed exactly what they did wrong. Kotaku today highlights the modding of The Azure Palace, a fairly engaging and well done level that apparently was fairly popular until being modded off Sony’s server for still unknown reasons.
The most amusing thing is Sony’s typically idiotic approach to enforcing intellectual property restrictions in the game. First, they release a Kratos sockboy as downloadable content for the game. Then they turn around and moderate out of existence anyone who dares make a God of War tribute level. That’ll teach those evil plagiarizing fanboys!
