have a look.

I'm just saying that technically PewDiePie can very much be held personally responsible for these stories, because not even good PewDiePie maps are good Amnesia maps. They might be good HPL2 maps, but that's different.
As for the number of them, like I said, hastily made maps can be made more often, while ambitious artists instead often give up on their projects before their completion. I can make 2 The Closet maps a day if I wanted to, or maybe 10 if I put some effort into it, but I can't crank out 1 good story a month even if I want to.

Believe it or not, HPL2 map creation is an art. In fact, it combines all the major aspects of common art (writing, paintings or art, music) because it has to tell a story, promote a sense of insecurity and so on. The reason I'm saying this is because I have personally (and I think its safe to assume a lot of other people on the FG forums as well) have come to a sort of Amnesia "writer's block" after making so many maps or working on their story for x amount of time. I made 11 detailed map (and when I say detailed I don't mean entities from the ornaments tab like most CS creators just throw in willy-nilly, I actually mean proper use of decals, billboards, particle systems, sounds effects, the whole shebang), but over time the story line became so uninteresting to me and I lost majority of my inspiration to keep pushing forward.

My point is, I think most of the best creators fall into that slump while the amateurs dish out 10-15 minute CS every few days or so. This explains the influx of bad maps, and the rarity of good ole' fashion Amnesia style horror-filled masterpieces.

rant over.
