** The test chambers designed by [[spoiler:Wheatley]] are pure StylisticSuck - they all either consist of empty rooms with a single button that opens the exit straight away, have death traps that lack the \\\"death\\\" part ([[spoiler:Wheatley]] even apologises for not knowing how to fill the \\\"deadly moat\\\" with water), have words crudely spelled out on the wall out of the level elements, or they\\\'re levels designed by [[spoiler:[=GLaDOS=]]] crudely glued together with a few extra elements - sometimes just cosmetic - thrown in. Now look at any depository of player-made maps. On a good day, \\\'\\\'only\\\'\\\' 75% will fit this mould.

That Valve of all people would have intended badly designed test chambers as a Take That against their own fans is seriously stretching it in my opinion, especially considering that there\\\'s a perfect in-universe justification for why they suck so much, which has nothing to do with custom maps. It is pure speculation on part of the troper, therefore it should not be in the main article in my opinion.
