The create a map function is being altered for it's US release...

Map Editing adjustments:
-Instead of individual blocks to create maps, a number of preset “landforms” will be available for users to create their own maps.
-Multiples of the same object, not including geo blocks or characters, cannot be placed next to or on top of each other.
-Character/map names and descriptions will be randomized.

They say this is do to regulations and laws or something. I am confused. Why would a create a map with blocks be an issue with laws, as well as the same object/character being next to each other? The names I can maybe see, with copyrights, but LBP gets away with that...

This mostly bothers me as a matter of principle. Sure, it's a shame we won't be able to have as much freedom with this extra feature, but I hate the fact that it has to be changed and for an unexplained reason on top of that.
I'm happy as long as the main game is left alone. Imagine if they removed all of the side stories and characters or something ridiculous.
