Quote - Dajadues, I suggest you go look at Turbosquid for greed and outrageous prices.

 

Actually, lot of  Turbosquid prices are more reflective of the time and effort it takes to create something.

Let's say something takes around a month to create. 4x40 hours (160 hours)
if it's sold at $20 on rendo, for each copy sold rendo gets 10 bucks, the creator gets 10 bucks (I'm assuming the usual retail 50/50 split here - I don't know what it is actually)

So, if a creator selld 160 copies of a model, they're up to gettin' paid $10 bucks an hour for a months work. If they sell 320 copies, they're up to whoppin' $20 bucks an hour (still not all that much). Hardly enough for someone to make a decent living at, and definately not getting rich.

I wonder if any vendors actually sell 300 copies of an item. Being that soon after an item gets populat it is all too often pretty easily found pirated, on various torrent sites.

In real retail world, losses like that are usually built into the price that the real paying customers pay. Many people are extremely lucky that a lot of content creators are sort of turning the blind eye to things, and only every now and then a complaint surfaces.

This is another reason I really don't wanna sell things I make... People like dajadues worrying I was getting rich off of them.
