I don’t understand the point behind the “genuine” quality. The whole characteristic seems to devalue items and condos that are perceived to be non-genuine, and I’m not sure why you’d want to do that.
In a sense, it seems like you’re discouraging customization and forcefully promoting stock items. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with them. There’s nothing wrong with having to work for items. But not every single Workshop item may make it into game, and even then, when folks just want to use all the cool stuff they can find on the workshop, they shouldn’t be viewed as “non-genuine”.
Perhaps it’s just the word that’s catching me. What about vanilla? Stock? Base? Standard? Rather than non-genuine, just calling extra items “Workshop items” would make more sense.
Ultimately, I can understand this for trying to acquire in-game items (or very similar ones) through the Workshop as a means of bypassing payment, but I can only see that as a small fraction of what is to be a bustling Workshop.
