I don't think it will be the end of freestuff.. After all when Bbay first started everyone complained how all the good artists would sell their work and yeah they did but still they released a lot of freestuff too. I think it will continue to be that way. I just began selling some of my items when Bbay teamed up with renderosity. Just because I am trying to sell some things means that I will no longer provide free stuff. It just means that some things I think are actually good enough to be sold, will be.. Now I don't think a lot of my work is worth anything so you will see more freestuff from me. But I will also provide the free stuff something for everything I finish that I decide to sell. For me the decision to sell things came out of necessity. I need to make some money to provide myself the programs and things I need to continue doing props, poses, textures and more. For Omni 3D to have contests and get it's own real domain name and more. I have released a lot of my stuff for free after spending days and hours on it. And going to school to learn how to do this for a profession. I have to justify to myself that there is a reason for me doing this. (I don't mean the releasing my free stuff but spending hours on the computer doing my graphics if all i am going to be good for is flipping hamburgers at the local fastfood joint.) I think the store is going to be good for Renderosity and the artists here. I also think that you will still see a lot of free stuff. just MHO Storm
