so what's the principle of it? Ethics? Bah... Renderosity has every right to do what they did... I still don't really get it. To me it all seems like a huge miscommunication on the matter. They made a business decision. Sometimes necessary business decisions suck, but they have to be made. R'osity did away with the exclusive cut for all but the top selling merchants. Well, it sucks, it does look like its not fair, but honestly... I can see why they did that. Can't have the cream of the crop going to another store... you know. Its a reward for their sales figures. Every place I worked at in sales gave higher rewards for higher sales figures. So ... what. In fact, I think that Renderosity should just give the higher cut only to vendors they think are likely to draw in more sales... so I don't really disagree with the idea. There are other matters that are far more important to me than the percentage. I'd be far more brutal with what I allowed in the store from merchants, brutal with what I allowed to stay if it wasn't selling, plus very brutal with copyright, you guys would likely hate me a lot... lot... LOT more... ggg And one of ya got to find this out about Mehndi the hard way at PoserPros already... check General Discussions for the thread. (and yeah... I agree with what she did, fyi) fact is, there's just too many merchants right now... Renderosity is probably better off losing a few for a while. Hate to be brutally honest... but I guess what I consider good business ethics are somewhat different.
