tutone1234: "If you want an answer as to why this was implemented or how this could have been done better, well the truth is that no matter how you present something like this, the same uproar would have occured." That was actually the smartest statement tutone1234 has made in this thread so far. What I wonder is: if Renderosity understands this, why did they do it? I can't really understand that. Everybody with at least a grain of business experience understand that this policy change is absolutely pointless and will have no effect whatsoever on Renderositys ability to keep precious business secrets from any competitors they have (or think they have). The potential gain from this policy change (whatever that might be) is in no proportion to the damage incurred. And still they go on trying to justify it, and by every post they make to threads here, the hole they are digging for themselves just gets deeper... This entire issue will be perfect material for a Businees School to use as a case study in how badly thought out business decisions turned worse by bad communication skills, lack of damage control, paranoia about real or perceived competitors and a blatant unability to comprehend how all this affects business in the long run. Are you all amateurs running Rendersoity?? I haven't seen that anyone in this discussion is trying to bash you without reason and with evil intent. But if they would like to do that, you have presented yourself as a pretty easy target. And that is your own fault, and it's a problem you must deal with.
