Quote - Yes, Anton, testing is a paid position at Renderosity.  And yes, it's my understanding that most sites don't actually pay their testers, outside of "taking it out in trade".

And three times yes -- testing is time-consuming.  But I enjoy it -- so it provides more than one type of compensation.  Plus it keeps me off of the street. 

I suppose that offering your hard work & talent for free to the community provides a different type of compensation of its own.

Cool. You guys deserve to get paid. Glad at least Rendeorsity pays beta testers.

I never thought about feeling comphensated for having Apollo be free. That's interesting. I am happy people enjoy him as much as they do. And I enjoy sharing/ helping people. I think it is probably best described as feeling good about contributing something positive, trying to make things better for all; despite some of the reactions and comments.

Making Apollo free did end most all of the forum trolling merchants are prone to. So that was a bonus.
