When they first suggested this to us I was thrilled. I loath little thumbnails and I was pretty excited to do good promo's for our freebies. It was in all respects as it was presented to us a brilliant opportunity to get a taste of our products into as many hands as would take them. Because we were going to be able to do good promo's people were less likely to have to download nearly everything and sort through later because they could see if it was something they would really like. However, a surcharge on my free products makes really saddened and frustrated me. At my core it offends me to see someone else charge someone to take a gift from me.
We did two products partly, because I wanted to have something for nearly everyone and partly to see if daz users really are that outnumbered. A charge would surely skew the potential download numbers and sort of devaluates gathering numbers that way.
In the end my partner and I decided to remove our products so we could in fact give them away free now rather than after the promotion. They are now on our website and should show up in the regular freebie venues in a day or two.
