But theirs is a more involved process than making a Vine compilation. Throughout DreamsвЂ™ early access period, video creators have been doing something similar with playersвЂ™ creations. But the streamers and YouTubers who curate and broadcast their discoveries outside of Dreams also have ways of monetizing their content. ItвЂ™s predominantly Media Molecule and Sony that benefit. They might gain more attention within the Dreams ecosystem, but thereвЂ™s no tangible reward for that. That advertisement does little for those who made the creations. This is something Cameron Kunzelman notes in his piece on Dreams as a walled garden where anything thatвЂ™s shared to outside platforms serves as an advertisement to draw more people into the game. Right now, the only ones directly benefiting financially from these playersвЂ™ creativity and work are the developer and publisher.Д«ut as with all games, Dreams and its player creations can be experienced elsewhere (albeit in a limited form), thanks to social media, YouTube, and streaming. But thereвЂ™s been no elaboration on how or when that might happen. Media Molecule has said that it wants to give creators commercial rights and the ability to export away from the PlayStation 4 where Dreams is an exclusive title published through Sony Entertainment. ThereвЂ™s just one big hitch: thereвЂ™s no way to fully release a Dreams game (confusingly called a вЂњdreamвЂќ) outside of the tool in which it was made. Players have created hyperrealistic breakfast food and 90-minute detective games during the seven-month early access period, and a community emerged to teach one another tricks theyвЂ™d discovered or showcase amazing creations theyвЂ™d found.

And not just games, but music, animation, and art, all through powerful creation tools provided by developers Media Molecule.
