Companies love to dumb everything down, and in response to criticism, blame it on a hypothetical group of lowest-common-denominator people. This way you're not presented with the ability to customize, it's moved behind a paywall. But the whole premise that customization is inessential is wrong.

there was some mortal kombat footage, I was missing the files - that should hopefully describe dumbing down to the lowest common denominator.

I'm pushing a change to tweak the timing on this in particular; construction set getting kicked out of the way should be at the point of moving behind a paywall
