Freebies are nice -- and freebie creators should be thanked for their efforts. That's all good......
It's when certain individuals attempt to turn freebies into an ideology: and make spurious claims that freebies are somehow morally superior (snort) to another guy who's trying to feed himself off of his work: by daring to sell his products for real money (the greed-head!) -- that's when I have a problem with what's being said.
IMO, the true greed-heads are the individuals who think that they have a right to have everything handed to them for nothin'. In reality: it's never for nothin' -- somebody else has to pay for it.
Well said Xeno!!!!! That's something that's been on my mind for a while now, and you formulated it quite well!
Thanks, Connie! BTW - you deserve to be paid -- and paid well -- for what you do.
There's a basic factor in play here: if someone wasn't making money -- then this entire 3D game wouldn't exist. Without "filthy money" exchanging hands: then it wouldn't even be possible for our little hobby to exist. So the "great evil" of someone turning a buck for their labors :rolleyes: -- is only right & just. Or at least it is if people want to be able to enjoy this hobby in the first place.
