Hum.... this basic concept is a tactic that has been used by many companies for product introductions in the past.  Go into a market. get the product in the consumer's hands by giving it away at events, packing it in "free" with another product purchase, and so on, then judge the reaction of the public.... and then if it "flys" (  ).... you SELL it.

Everywhere you go at various events you get XXXXXXX at a booth for free.  After a while you think that everyone is eating/drinking/using it.  It's everywhere. You develop a desire for it....particularly when suddenly you can't get it.  Then you see it in the store.... and you buy it.

Just because an item used to sell for $0.02.... does that mean it should not now sell for $2.00?  So it it was once free....... why should it not now cost something?

Well, most of you might know about the project I'm on.

After reading this thread, it now scares me. What is one day, my add-on might become too popular? Then chances are, I might become desperate for money. However, thank god that there are other ways to be rich.

I follow a certain saying. "Why should anyone have pay money to have any fun?" Addon are meant to give fun.

Guys, I don't understand. Back then, everyone was making freeware product just for the hell of it. Just giving people the fun they deserve.

Now look at the FS world today. Not only are some people monopolizing on a product that used to be freeware, but now this entire payware-addon thing seems to become more like an industry. God save us and our wallets.
