Ben doesn't have to of course... and may've expressed that he does not want to... but ideally just like I put 100s of hours into Som on a regular basis, I hope Ben will share his customs with everyone. So in other words provided he does so his game would only "stand out" for a little while until someone made a game using all of the neat things Ben contributed to the community... and before long if everyone played nice "customs" will become a staple of all games.
The only way to make a custom that makes your game stand out is if it's something really peculiar to your particular game. Which I think all games would have a few of these things. And that's the kinda thing I'd advocate going the extra distance to really personalize for your game. But even still people will find ways to repurpose that kind of stuff, or might include it in their games as an homage to your game
I like to think we're trying to make games differently. But the only thing I know for sure is that's what I'm trying to do
