| The idea is really interesting and I hope it is very successful. Since I'm not particularly artistic the idea of having that end covered and just working on mechanics is very attractive.
I do have a question though and I couldn't find it answered anywhere (the website is down or unavailable at the moment) so I'll ask here: If games are created using Metaplace tools, hosted on Metaplace servers, use Metaplace economic features (like the currency idea to make a profit from a popular game) and potentially include standard assets created by Metaplace then who owns what? If someone manages to create a breakout hit can they take their game away from Metaplace and run it themselves? Even if they still use all of the Metaplace tools and assets?
Does this get even more complicated if you can potentially borrow parts of other people's games? |
