True you can still have fun but can you really use doom or quake as a
source of inspiration? This makes me interested in what inspires the many
artists on this list and what their 'creative needs' or environments would
be in an uploaded universe.

Yes but would they really want to? What would they have to offer that more
advanced uploaded beings wouldn't have access to? Another thing, I refer to
AIs as uploaded or digital beings because this helps present them as
'people' rather than 'processes'.
