I think RGUS put it very nicely in the subject. lol! I'm not offended in the least and when an artist such as RGUS complains, I for one listen!
I don't buy much content however so I can't agree or disagree with most of what is said but I wanted to point out a few things as a vendor.
The 3D Market has been divided recently way more than it was and it's not always easy to figure out which way to go when creating a product.
I have been a Poser user since Poser 4 and I don't like DS at all (no offense DS users) but it's hard to ignore the G3 figures when the MP is full of content for them and so little for V4.
"By dumping Poser users you've driven away most poser users (as they have though over there at the other store, but there are few older pieces that go on sale every once in awhile) to your other competition who's also running deeper discounts. The tone of the store, and the community forums have changed drastically."
Sadly this is very true. Some of us vendors hoped Renderosity would stay more geared towards Poser & V4 but unfortunately this didn't happen.
Some of the things I read here however don't seem very just such as:
" Most merchants work under the I only make what I am personally interested in philosophy. And it is the customer's fault that sales aren't what they could be..."
I strongly doubt this is the case most of the time. Personally I create what I like because I can give the best by doing so.
I couldn't work on something I didn't like for weeks or more no matter how much customers liked or wanted it.
In any case don't stop complaining, don't stop letting us know what you like and/or don't like please!
I don't answer posts very often but I do always read them because your input is very important and necessary.
Thanks!
