We're all to spoiled, coming to expect freebies on a regular base. I haven't released any lately (all of mine are at CP, may upload them one day here as well, but no promises). I've been I'll for the last 7 months, lot's of other things and projects going on. then I've got Vue the beginning of this year and I'm trying to learn that.

With all that's going on in my life I just don't fancy making content at all, besides..... the weather is getting better as well, so more time spent outside, instead of staring at a laptop screen.

I'd say the weather may be the biggest factor, but it also could be loss of interest/inspiration for others and don't forget the bad economy. I know of quite a good number of vendors who stopped creating content. If I look at various store I mainly see items made to make some quick money, most vendors seems to have lost inspiration or are trying to survive, the same may be happening to freebie creators as well. If I've got to struggle to provide for my family, it means that doing work for free is a no go..... it takes too much time away from stuff that can provide an income.

Providing freebies is very generous of those who do it and for me it's hard to keep on doing it when those continiously downloading are unwilling to invest a little money in return to keep me going...... making freebies cost money, it's as simple as that. Yes, it's fun as well, but computers wear down and need upgrades, software needs upgrades, bills need to be paid and 1000's of freeby downloads with hardly a thank you in return is hard to keep up year after year, especially when times are though.

Instead of wondering or complaining, perhaps a thank you to all those generous providers is much more appropriate to encourage all those hard working people? I know some do it..... but fact is that the majority just grabs the freeby as if they're the most normal thing in life..... even come to expect it.

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(

Food for thought.....
