Renderosity cannot stop vendors from removing products from their store should they wish to do so.  Nor can Renderosity mandate that these products be made freebies.  That is totally up to the discretion of the vendor as they are the ones who hold the copyright.  Some vendors have, indeed, released older products as freebies while others have not.  

If you really wish to obtain a product no longer available for sale you may contact the vendor and see if they will sell it to you.  I've had success with this in the past. 

This is not really a matter of making sense or not.  Vendors have the freedom to decide what should be done with their products and the final say.  Thank you for posting your opinions as I'm sure vendors frequent the forums and will see this thread. :)

This is stated correctly. Vendors can choose to put products in clearance if they wish. But if they deem the quality of the product not up to their current standards, they have full right to decide to no longer offer these products at all in our marketplace. As they feel it no longer represents them as an artist. This goes with the point PinkCloudSlippers made for the following:

"Back in those years it was a hight quality product at the standarts from those years!

Now the textures are 4k and even 8k and the amount of polygon is at least triplet.

So that same product is now NOT a high quality product anymore, for the standarts of today."

Thank you all for voicing your concerns. It's truly appreciated and does not go unnoticed. As Kalypso stated, the vendors will read this and take these points into consideration.
