Just finished watching accel world anime and cant stop thinking about who the creator is and why they did it. I've been reading through a bunch of forums and everybody just wants to talk about whether kuroyukihime is kirito and asunas daughter (which i do NOT believe she is), not many people come up with decent convos about the creator of brainburst. most say it is kirito but i highly doubt that. My theory is, kirito designed the neurolinker, but not brain burst. my reasons for this are 1.) He has said that he wants to develop tech, not games. 2.) It is highly unlikely that kirito would create a game that caused real pain to players, let alone children. since the oldest people who could install the game are like 16 and the originators started when they were like 7 or 8, i find it unbelieveable that kirito would allow children of that age to deal with realistic battle wounds. 3.) Brain burst utilizes the players emotional scars. being the kind caring hero that he is, no way would kirito create a game that forced players to dredge up their past traumas all for the sake of a game.
Even if arguments could be brought up with these reasons, i think that in general, brainburst is not something kirito would be involved with creating. rather, it seems more like kayaba territory. Kayaba's consciousness is still on the net, as far as we know, so he could have created the game without anyone knowing. However, i cant think of a motive for him to do this. instead, i would think that someone may be manipulating kayabas work and/or kayaba himself in order to create the game for a motive that is as of yet unknown. My strongest idea is that it is a secret government program like project alicization. i havent read aw novels, but from what i can tell in the anime is that ai's dont have a huge emphasis, and hardly seem advanced. this, and the plot so far in sao ln's, leads me to believe that project alicization fails, so that kikuoka's division later comes up with some sort of plan to use the STL and IS tech with brain burst. its unbelievable that the immoral burst linkers who cheat and manipulate everything by accelerating would be able to completely escape unnoticed. eventually someone would mess up or leave a trail and the whole thing would be discovered and ruined. unless the government is aware of what is going on and purposefully allows it or covers it up. Also, i think they are ok with using children to get whatever it is they are experimenting with, considering the whole Underworld thing. Since adults are unaware and unable to get involved with brainburst, the whole thing stays quiet, and the memory manipulation ensures no one can make a fuss. and since brainburst is game, the players just stay absorbed in leveling up and getting burst points, rather than really contemplate why such amazing technology is in some random game. what the government is likely doing is using the game as an experiment to see how the acceleration system can be used and how unaware people cope with vr wars with real consequences like pain. this could all be for future military use, and could even involve somehow manipulating the players into unknowingly fighting other countries, since they all believe it is just a game that gives them super powers.
so that's my thoughts and theories. anyone else got something?

Due to the fact that SAO and Accel world take place in the same world I think many people will be disappointed if brainbursts creator is someone other than kirito.

other then a silly crossover it is never really confirmed they are the same world. As far as I know. But saying they are I have no reason to think Kirito created it. I had always though the now "Dead" Kayaba was a good potential candidate in who created Brainburst.

Nerve Gear was shown in Accel World. Ain't that enough to confirm that they are in fact in the same world?
