In EVE Online NPC fleets have launched a huge surprise attack on players all over the game Yesterday with no prior warning large, powerful fleets of NPCs attacked and killed players all over the game at once and destroyed their structures. No one outside the games developer has any idea what is happening and players are scrambling. This is an unprecedented event for this game. Usually when the developer releases an expansion, players have time to plan and adapt to the change before it goes live, nullifying its largest effects. This time, players were at the tail end of a major PvP conflict and have had their undefended home bases attacked. Probably the largest NPC event in the games history. Imagine a litRPG story about NPCs finally getting fed up with being abused, planning a massive coordinated offensive, and slaughtering/enslaving Players.

Community creation has led to entire genres like MOBAs. These are the tools that will enable the community to the the future of VR in directions that we can't imagine yet. What new genres and game modes will we see in the next 5 years that have been enabled by the availability of tools like this? This the democratization of VR content creation.
