RE: A few things

Quote: I don't think I ever met an awesome programmer that learnt via tutorials.
That's ok. I haven't either, or not exactly what I'd call 'awesome' at least. But the resources are all there, someone probably has and if not, someone certainly will.

Quote: Show off their skill?
Yes, an increadible artist could make a very, very shitty game, but the artwork would be spectacular and since quality artwork is what they want to show, then it's not so important that the rest of it sucks. In any case, its worth it for people to develop their skills. I don't think they should necessarily release the content if its not worth it for everyone else, I don't personally like it, but then again there's plenty of space here on the interweb so why the hell not? It's not getting in your way, just avoid it.
Quote: But you missed the point. I don't care if you make 100, 200, 300 custom
stories a week, as long as you can call each of these a custom story. I
find it pointless to keep releasing useless content when instead you
could have developed a serious project, that can benefit you in the
future and believe me, if you are looking for self realization and your
tolerance for it is on such level, you'll probably OD, if you know what I
mean.
I get what your saying, frankly I agree, I just dislike your tone, you make it sound like you don't want other people to do it. I look at some things some people spend time and effort making, and I also think 'why the hell do they bother?'. Clearly however, people like it. Since people want to do that, and there is no limit as of yet on how many of these mods can be made, our opinions on the topic are irrelevant and in some cases, harmful.

Since you don't know how old these people are, and what there personal situation is, there is no need to make the assumption that we are all after the same thing - to show off a full product worthy of respect and to work towards a future in game development. Some people don't necessarily want that. Some people just want to make 10min joke maps, I don't know why, but they want to. There's no need to insult them by saying its 'crappy' and 'useless'. It doesn't matter what you deem high quality enough to rank as a 'custom story', the use of that term is a technicality from the game. That's how they are listed, in the main menu and the file structure. Therefore, 'crappy' 10 min joke maps are called custom stories, in spite of your opinion.
