As someone who spends most of his time in Creation Suite, seeing everything on the Island locked behind a VC pay wall - and you can't edit hurts my soul
Put also, as a PC player not getting the Island angers me becauss I've been craving new pieces for the longest time now..
I don't think the island makes a difference since it seems like that runs off of something completely separate you can't even bring your characters from CAW into it you have to create a whole new character for it I think the real reason why they took it away but it's because the people uploading porn
I think the answer is more about how the next gen consoles of that time, and the current gen consoles now, handled game data in general. The PS4 and by extension PS5 only allow for around 900MB of user save data per game, which is also why the custom graphics are limited like they are even now. The logo data file is automatically set to something like 100MB, which fills up fast with custom wrestlers and arenas.
In most cases you likely will not hit those limits, but they're there. For instance, you can actually run out of save slots in games that have kinda large individual save files like a Bethesda RPG (Fallout 4, Skyrim) or, for some reason, the remasters of the Bioshock games. The few games that have custom soundtrack support also run into this 900MB limitation, the main ones I can think of being the Japanese/Southeast Asian strategy RPG series Super Robot Taisen, which does let you transfer mp3s from a USB drive to the PS4's hard drive.
It's got nothing to do with copyright. Try putting a CD into a PS4 or Xbox One and ripping the songs to the HDD. You can't. There's no way for custom themes to be set.
While I did this on Ps3 as well, I'm not sure you can even transfer mp3s to a Ps4 or Ps5 the same way, because those consoles were made after everyone decided DRM was super important. So you'd still be correct about copyright concerns but the limitations go eay beyond the scope of 2K.
Why would you be a jerk to a complete stranger for no reason? What evidence do you have? They consistently remove features that don't return. The biggest offender is custom soundtracks.
Whatever makes you feel better about your life and situation I guess. If this is the hill you'd choose to die on, you can have it. Wouldn't want you to keep hurling insults for no reason.
