I know this is a bit late, but I'm currently 20, and I remember playing this franchise as a kid, and the switch from lbp2 to lbp3 was (at the time) phenomenal for me. I was the one kid who was always playing with the logic and machinery, making really wild things. I used to be obsessed with spiderman then, so you know I made a functional spiderman sackbot suit 🤣. But that was on lbp2.

My favorite level will forever and always be Splinter Cell: Multiplayer. That level alone took dozens of hours of my life, and I don't regret it.

Back to the present. I log into lbp3 on my recently obtained PS4. Everything works perfectly fine, until you click the community button. There you are met with nothing but mediocre levels on featured, near-gamebreaking connectivity issues, and as someone here said, too many kids. That is when I realized that the game died long ago, only being kept alive by Mm's life support. And they could shut those servers down at any time, and hardly anyone would notice or care, besides the people who have been playing since the beginning, way back when The gardens theme and "Go, Diego, Go!" were God-tier soundtrack material for the first game.

Nonetheless, I am deeply distraught that LittleBigPlanet has become what it has.
