The economy itself is still in a bit of an uproar, if anything is to blame for lack of sales the economy would be it, not the wonderful freebies provided by generous individuals...The some what shaky release of P5, and impending release of DAZ Studio also play a rather large part in the scenario, the market will level out again given time, but for now we must be patient and hone our current skills or find new ones...This is not the time to start pointing fingers at freebie providers, I seriously doubt that time will ever come... Freebies have their place in the world as do products...I personally got poser because I wanted the horse (seems terribly silly now but it's true), I'm willing to bet some one some where bought poser because they saw one of your models, either on your site or in some one else's render, and said WOW I could really get into that...So your "Freebie" added another possible purchaser to the list, it didn't take one or more away...Consumers should be thrilled that quality freebies are available, even if they never use a freebie for what ever reason, the quality of that freebie makes a huge difference in the products made available after it's release... Merchants should also appreciate quality freebies for the same reasons... For people to single you out, kindly or not, and blame you for their lack of sales is just plain rude, and fairly silly...Though I kind of doubt they singled you out personally, seems strange a couple of modelers would get together to and just gripe to one generous individual, my guess is they contacted several individuals, and if they didn't then you should feel terribly flattered ;) Keep doin' what ya do if it makes you happy, stop doin' what ya do if it makes you miserable! Don't worry about trying to please the rest of us, we will never be happy with you if you aren't first happy with yourself... Ya know? People who complain are unhappy with themselves for what ever reason and so they lash out at others so that they too can suffer... Misery loves company, but it doesn't solve a damn thing...
