  • It’s not a question of the world being too big or too small, it’s the density of interesting things. A giant world with very little worth doing doesn’t accomplish much, but similarly a small world where you’re absolutely tripping over things that feel like you shouldn’t skip them will also feel claustrophobic.

    Additionally, the traversal system can help a LOT here. Even a world that has a lot of wide open dead space can feel good if the process of crossing that space is itself fun. Dune: Awakening comes to mind here, where there are large spans of open desert that you need to cross, but ripping across the dunes on my sandbike was so much fun I didn’t mind the dead ground.






  • Could it? Technically maybe. Would it? No.

    None of the distribution to spread the artist’s work to a wider audience, reduced duration of profit per work, and weaker copyright protections even before going public domain. You could probably find ways to cut a music label’s revenue even more steeply if your really tried, but you’d have to really try. This is barely a step up from an artist trying to self publish, except the artist still has to give the label a cut AND they can only make money on the work for 5-10 years. Nobody would sign with this label in the first place, and the label itself would implode in short order.
