well, call me a selfish bastard, but it's all upon merchants. if they feel they have been treated badly then they should move on. as long as renderosity provides good quality for good money value, i'm buyer. i don't want to punish myself for what other people do or don't - if i need some object from the store i'll buy it. i have a bussiness to run and not much time for this petty soap. it's not as if he was imploying slaves or children. merchants know what has been done and how it's been done, so they can do the math and ask themselves when it's gonna be their turn. if they decide to go to poserpros or rdna or daz - suits me fine. i'll buy it there. renderosity isn't the only site around. maybe the biggest but that's a subject to change...
