I think someone earlier made the (good) point that all we can say is
that right now, procedurally generated universes are boring. Earth
is pretty darn interesting, and was procedurally generated, as you
say. Of course, if I were paying $10/month to play Earth, I'd want
to have some words with the dev team. What's up with AIDS, for
instance? That's just bad design if you ask me. And don't even get
me started on meat spoiling...
