Is 3D RPG making a dying art?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Is 3D RPG making a dying art?

But novices are often the ones with unrealistic ambitions. That is to say that they underestimate the work involved in making a 3d RPG and would not consider pre-made packs because they expect to be able to create their own exclusive content (or find someone to make it for them).

To be honest, I can't see the point of purchasing and using pre-made packs for the very reason that John Pickford mentioned. I suppose that people might use them as placeholders, but isn't that just a waste of time (finding the packs) and money (purchasing them) when they will eventually be replaced? Isn't it cheaper and easier to just stick with ugly self-made placeholders until then?
