ETC graduate Magnolia Caswell-Mackey replied with the following commentary, "Gaming's next great innovations will revolve around user-created content…Allowing users to feel like they own a piece of a game and share with others will…spark interest among all sorts of demographics…The intertwining of Web 2.0 and gaming 3.0 will…make it natural for users to exert control over content…have their content tie into multiple games, and experience a new connection to the games they play."

ETC graduate Jeremy Gibson postulated, "In every other medium, the last decade has seen a progressive move toward independent content generation. From websites to podcasts to YouTube, we've seen a trend of individuals developing more and more difficult media on their own…Current generation consoles…all have the ability to access downloadable games, which is just the kind of media that could be created by a small, independent team. If console manufacturers opt to open their tools and host player-created game channels, I think it will create a flood of creative content."
