       >[console] has no gamesIt's weird to me that these things don't come with game-making software.  RPG Maker should be de rigeur.  A set of tech demos that demonstrates how many goddamn bats you can put on the screen at one time should be common sense.  A set of genre-archtypal games (including the source, obviously) and a toolchain to modify and build that source.  The whole Atari/Amiga culture of buying magazines full of BASIC code listings for you to transcribe, modernized for the internet age.It's got no games?  Well congratulations my 12 year old nephew, you're going to lrn2code the way X-ers did.  The way that made some of them capable of shitting out an entire operating system inside of a month.

       @SmoothOperator Now that almost everyone has a computer, if only a crippled one in smartphone form, the average user is entirely devoid of creativity. In 1999 when The Phantom Menace came out it was notable that a whole community of fan film makers sprang up out of the incredibly talented computer user base of the time.Nothing like it has happened in the post-iphone era. Found footage films are not on the same level as Star Wars films with lightsaber battles, walkers, speeder bikes and dogfights.

       @judgedread @SmoothOperator Games Workshop has been putting out some good content once in a while and the Astartes series was made by a fan.
