Thank you for feeling me on this one. I don't think anyone is realizing the technology behind this game is quite extraordinary. They are not building a program with a bunch of customizable areas. They are developing a new way to build a game, by just putting the pieces into code and developing a program that will make sense of it however people want to customize. So, instead of programmers trying to think up and have every customization covered, they let the program do it.

That is brilliant.
