This change certainly supports a future filled with rough, personal, non-commercial, games of all sizes, built for friends and communities. All of which adds up to a deeper understanding of games and play. If a more mainstreamed cultural literacy of that stuff matters, that's a positive.

Obviously it still requires some real work to fit the bridge into the opera, but I think we’re kidding ourselves if we ever thought that was the bit that kept everyone who wanted to make a game from actually doing it.
