Quote - Heck, even a lot of freebies, except for the hottest ones never reach thousands of downloads. The ones that do, are either nudie oriented, or take a lot more to make then what a person would recover by selling them for a dollar-a-piece.

Umm... You've obviously not checked out the counts on ShareCG lately. I made more money as MatrixWorkz on Share CG giving away my freebies than I ever made when the same items were in a store. They were downloaded by the hundreds and thousands when they were made free. Of course, that was when ShareCG was actually paying their content providers. Now? Meh! I'm not doing much of any content creation.
