Is there a way to make a gif your email address?
Niners fan here. I may be looking for a new team to throw my support behind...anybody got any suggestions, preferably in the same division, but in the Pacific Northwest? Nobody knows what the hell they’re doing down here.
In Chuck Norris’ world, this is considered porn.
Niners take Rodgers instead of Smith, for sure.
I’m not even gonna lie. I treat myself to really fast food once a month, and I’m gorging on either McD’s or Taco Bell. They are both glorious.
I get this stuff in the grout of my shower all the freaking time. It drives me batty, although getting in there with a grout brush and cleaning it is almost as rewarding as its appearance is maddening. It started appearing more aggressively when we changed to the Kirkland brand body wash, so I guess it’s like steroids…
True. But that change isn’t one-sided, and I think modders learned very quickly that expectations change when payment is mandatory instead of optional. Goodwill evaporates once you go from a member of the community doing something as a passion project to a vendor trying to convince someone your work deserves their…
I could call it seven days, but there’s a single word that’ll do the job, and that’s ‘week’. I’m sorry if you interpret my end of this discourse as insults...perhaps your reading comprehension isn’t as strong as you think? If I were you, I’d be more concerned that all the commenting I did over various threads tonight…
I contend that by and large it doesn’t (sum it up), because those thousands/millions of free downloads weren’t necessarily going to translate 1:1 into paid downloads. I also contend that while some of the mods were outstanding works from a technical standpoint, the fact that they were free or donation-based also…
So they had that “chance” for less than a week, and this is how bent you get? Don’t need to lecture me about the definition of ‘entitled’, amigo. You’re the embodiment of it.
I wish you nothing but good fortune.
I don’t get the animosity, either. Don’t hate them for leveraging the mechanism...if you feel that strongly against people charging, just don’t buy it. They’ll figure it out and it’ll be back. Now that the community knows what they could have, I don’t think they’re going to let Valve put the idea of a mod market to…
Oh my lord. I am truly sorry, bro.
Except that when paid mods came online, they started complaining about the percentage they were getting. So which is it, crumbs from donations, or a quarter on every dollar? Gamers aren’t the only ones acting entitled here. Now, cut the tormented artist bullshit, and let the thinkers figure this out.
Newsflash: People get angry when they’re asked to pay for things that used to be free. Film at 11.
No, it’s not. And mods are still able to accept donations, no? With the exception of some really bad feelings, they are in the same situation they were in a week ago. Come in off the ledge, homie. It’s going to be ok.
I’m sorry you feel like you got burned. I don’t normally comment when someone brings up money lost on something because amounts mean different things to different people; but are you really going to war over $30? You didn’t get “nothing” out of it...you got Killing Floor 2, right?
Nope, didn’t miss it. I just think it falls under “labor of love” classification. They’re only wasting their time if they EXPECT to earn revenue. I’m not saying they should or shouldn’t be paid for it, only that doing it with the expectation of being paid (in the current climate) is setting themselves up for bad…
