Quote - I don't quite get that... Renderosity pays their staff, they pay for servers, they pay for bandwidth, they have a lot of costs and overhead. Why shouldn't they charge for some or all of their services?

 

No reason at all why they should't. But to introduce such a high charge for a 'service' that has doubtful costings smacks of the type of greed in busines that leaves a nasty taste. Let's not forget that our images (ok, not mine but talented artists who show what can be done with the products) go a long way in adverising the wares of the marketplace. Hell, renderosity even encourage us to advertise who made what in every image. The pictures in the galleries help generate a fair amount of revenue for the site and i just think that renderosity tend to forget that when they do things like this.
