If there's been one theme I'd pick out from the many of these past few years of gaming discontent, it's the sense of all-out assault on creativity.

To those people creativity is something to be funneled, moulded, directed or strictly defined. Often, I suspect, it's just not really something directly thought about at all. At best it's a nice buzzword to roll out as needed, but rare one that's even remotely understood.
