Title:

    The Anti-Auteurs: User-Generated Content and the Evolving Videogame Ecosystem

Abstract:


    Though the videogame world is one expression of specialized creative talent, the landscape is changing. Major game companies are releasing titles that allow game players to literally take over the creative process, transforming game designers into tool and system designers, and users into true content creators.
    This panel of pioneers explores games and user-generated content from three broad perspectives: design challenges and game-play mechanics, production and technical implementation, and business and legal implications.
