So I've been thinking about creativity and content because of certain events and attitude I’ve noticed in gaming communities. I feel like ppl who demand more content updates or DLCs (speficically from games that are literally finished, NOT live service) kinda don't understand creative work, even if some create fan content themselves. When you create something it's a very specific thing. You pick pieces of story, worldbuilding, lore to tell a specific story. You don't always think way beyond and further bc that's not the story you’re telling. I feel like ppl don't even consider that the author might just not have more to tell. They created what they wanted with all its limitations, vagueness and unanswered questions. They're not obligated to expand on it. Media should make you think yourself, not demand all answers and more of everything from the author who maybe just cannot give it. This attitude just feels so exhuasting to me, even as a mere spectator.
