Please don't be cross with the vendors who remain in the promotion. Some of them no doubt feel if they say they will do something it is important to follow through on that. Very reasonable really and I have to admit qualms myself about pulling out even though I felt strongly we needed to do so. Also, many vendors don't have other easy options for placing these products. A fairly large file would eat up the download availability from the file locker fairly quickly and so forth. Not everyone has their own web sites and so forth. Some may well be hoping that the situation can have a positive resolve in the end and are willing to stick hoping to see that happen.
I do understand absolutely the frustration. I was going to wait a couple of days myself to try and download anything rather than put any more stress on the servers so I am as SOL as anyone else who didn't get through the process before the changes today. I have to hope and pray that rendo will not think that the cover charge is an acceptable way to encourage vendors to create free products for holidays. I was really looking forward to doing some unique christmas give aways for all of the places we sell. But, that would not encourage me in the least to do any exclusive products for this venue. You see part of the value of freebies to vendors is getting as many people as possible to know you and your products and hopefully like them enough to keep looking out for you. Preventing anyone and everyone who might ever be a potential customer from getting them is counter productive for the vendor. The other value (and sometimes the best part) of freebies is the joy of giving, and the hope that you got the chance to make someone else happy.
