Amazon have it for $48. If you have prime, it's then $5 off when you checkout - so $43 delivered
Why? People draw, paint, make music, movies, books all the time without being in it to make money. Some people just love their craft and get enjoyment out of doing it for fun. For themselves.
Read the prior page, it's already been said why.
Just because some people are like what you described does not mean it's a "non issue", that is completely ignoring the people who would appreciate forms of monetising there works. Patreon donations may work for some but these kind of functions built into the game would help more.
People making great threads or posts all the time here for free, should ResetEra include a monetizing function too?
If they want money, they should just have a go at Roblox (with its own share of problems), obviously Dreams is not targeted at them. And there are other rewards than money, it would be a sad world if everything was driven by it.
You bet when someone creates something amazing the media will report about it. I can already see the Kotaku headline.
And that is the point of the game. It is to go from one kick as game idea to the next in span of seconds. Just like no one goes into YouTube expecting masterclass full length films.
Expecting multiple full length AAA games in Dreams for a 40 dollar product is not the point of the game.
One of the best things I've seen on YT in the last year is the 4-part Astartes series, guy isn't getting paid to make it, total run time is about 9mins. Done because it's something they want to do first, payment second.
It's one of the reasons Dreams need to be accessible on more platforms than PS, if this is going to become the 'YT of gaming' experience it could be.

The people who would appreciate making money off the game would be dissapointed if they had any reason to expect such a thing.
Hey y'all. I wrote the review for Attack of the Fanboy (which you can read here). I absolutely adore Dreams and I can answer any questions about the game if y'all have any.
Sad to see the review thread hijacked by the old "dollar dollar bills, why would you even?" talk... :/

"Dreams is a platform that allows for complete and nearly limitless creative expression, and it's already jam-packed with games, music, and art that more than justify the asking price."

Wow, those reviews. I've missed Media Molecule. I just bought it, looking forward to dream surfing all weekend.
I am surprised by some of the negativity. Monetizing my creations never came to my mind when thinking about getting dreams. :/ It seems like a fairly low barrier of entry way to play around with the idea of building a game (or sculpting or music creation), did not exactly seem professional grade to me.
Well now that's just a terrible counterpoint objectively.
mostly because Dreams content has inherent value and most anything people post on this forum is worthless BUH-ZIIIIIING.
Some great OPs here will like to have a word with you. I'm sure it took them hours to make a quality OP with graphics and all that.
Great idea!
I've told all my startup friends...instead of buying FIFA for the office PS4s, why not snag a copy of Dreams which will help boost creativity?
You can each create portions that then link up in the same Dream. But if you're asking if the same instance of creation is available to multiple people at once I believe the answer is no. Collaborating on projects by sharing creations is a huge part of Dreams though.
As with most creative projects, do remember to share what you've made from time to time. Not only will it drive you forward when you know other people see what you make and provide feedback, but it also serves as a great motivator when you can look back on the progress you've made.
Ignorance is bliss. ;-)

Great advice. Will definitely share things with others. Maybe just friends at first and then YouTube or here. The only thing is that I feel like it's quite an out-there idea so I don't want to show it too early in case I haven't done the best job of bringing it across. I'm so excited to jump in! It's always just been so daunting using regular tools because I'm not a game designer I just work in film. All I have is an idea XD
Yeah, would be not good if every second dream has a prize tag...
But when it comes to very well made and content rich dreams, people should have the possibility to earn money.
Send your project to Mm and they decide if it's worth cash.
Mark Healey already said while an IGN interview, he would love to see that users can sell their dreams on PSN.

Just bought the game.
Have absolutely zero intention of creating anything, but I quite fancy messing around in peoples Dreams, be they good or bad.

C.R.E.A.M indeed. Kind of depressing, really. I'm glad the game doesn't support direct monetization at launch. Frankly, I wish they never will. Something like a Patreon integration would be fine with me, but the thought of running into "microtransaction dreams" a year or two down the line doesn't excite me.
That said, I just don't care about it "reaching its potential" if that potential means "has many proper games". Because I'm really not interested in playing long, "proper" games in Dreams. Sort of like the IGN reviewer, I'm much more interested in the Vine part of it - all kinds of smaller, weirder shit.

Totally agree, Day 1 monetization and Dreams would be DOA. And i know of at least one (guy making the Avatar game in dreams) has a patreon and is getting over $100 a month to work on it.
For any new players today my wife and I have made an ingame collection of our 50 favourite levels. There are some duplicates, but between the collections you have almost 100 amazing Dreams to get you started:
Sams 50 Favourite Dreams
Lees 50 Favourite Dreams
Follow Ugly Sofa Gaming in-game we'll be sure to make more collections like this.

MM has talked about the possibility of a commercial license for Dreams. I do think we'll see something in this regard that allows publishing on PSN perhaps? Why not enjoy the toolset for now though? I'm just glad Dreams exists. It allows me to do what I always wanted but never learned and being too busy for my own career later.
And I should have picked Dreams review scores for my League! Damn, such good scores.
