strike while the iron is hot...or dont.

Interesting read none the less.

Nouk, I can understand that people would like credit, but when they go batshit crazy because they didnt get it? When nearly every download at MTS2 is marked with be sure to thank me and credit me? Thats when I say, come on get over yourself a little, its game content not the nobel prize.

It just really bugs me is all. I dont feel obligated to share my things, in fact I share very little of what I make, I do take requests, if I feel I have time and I dont expect anything in return, not even a thank you, the fact that it was downloaded and not complained about is good enough indicator that they liked it for me. I would be flattered if someone actually got people to pay for something I made, or felt it was good enough to claim as their own, or that they liked it enough to want to share it with others, or they wanted to improve upon it, recolor it whatever.  I must be batshit insane myself. I give up. I will never understand it I dont think.

Well I suppose then I am too far removed to understand it then. I don’t share recolor’s of other peoples stuff, I refuse to make anything that depends on other peoples stuff (and share it with others), I don’t make sims for upload, I don’t make houses for upload with other peoples stuff (granted I did once or twice on my own site but it was such a hassle I don’t want to bother with it anymore) or do contests because seriously it really is too much of a hassle, especially when many creators are so lousy about putting the information in the file to begin with and seemingly expect you to jump through hoops to figure it out so they can get their kudos.

Maybe if creators were better about putting their name on and in their packages and possibly not be so snitty about their items I might have a different attitude. I think it’s the prevalence of this attitude that I am tired of seeing, all I hear about it seems like is people whining over thanks and credit, it makes me a little suspicious is to why people really make game content. The ones that really get me are the ones that say do not recolor, do not clone, do not alter, do not share, do not upload to exchange, do not take pictures of this item without crediting me etc. What is the point? That’s not really sharing in my opinion, that’s being a dictator and your ‘gift’ isn’t really a gift at all, and then they turn right around and say how giving they are and how they put their heart and soul into it and how wonderful they are. Seems to me they are so full of themselves already that they don’t need my help patting their back.

Like I said, whatever floats your boat tho, I don’t dispect you; I just don’t understand the issue. The fact is I am more than happy to give credit, link backs, referrals etc, but I don’t like doing it for people that have a crappy attitude, in fact I don’t like using their stuff at all. I don’t feel good about showing someone where to get something when I know the creator is a pompous ass that is on an ego trip. Basically for me I guess, for every ‘don’t’ a creator has I am going to have an equal number.

What is the deal with all this credit business? What do you get out of it? Seriously, I would really like to know why so many creators demand credit and have such a cow when they don’t get it. Why share what you create if your main priority is to get credit? Is it a fame thing? Are you trying to make a name for yourself is that why? Arent there other more gratifying and meaningful ways to do this? Do you think EA is going to come hire you or something? Hell even the folks at EA dont get any credit for their meshes, do any of these creators that whine about credit ever credit EA?

I think the thing that really I find amusing is that so many creators put so much of their self worth into making game content. No, not amusing, downright sad really. Its pretty simple to add your information in Simpe is it not? I don’t seem to have any trouble putting my name on/in my packages if I choose to, but that’s not enough apparently. Really it seems what everyone wants to some sort of branding or something. I suppose I create things for different reasons than the rest of the creators, I am a minority it seems and that is fine. I don’t want credit or a big hoopla, I find that stressful, just take your toys and go play with them, if something breaks then fine, let me know, otherwise, go-enjoy, do whatever you want with it, I shared it with you and now its yours and I don’t care what you do with it, least of all hail my name. The whole thing is just incredibly pompous in my opinion, but hey whatever floats your boat I guess. I just cant get over the amount of whining associated with a game of all things. Its become a real killjoy.

That is sweet!

I want to POST IT EVERYWHERE!

I say some dns spoofing is in order to say...some pharmaceutical site? :P

Like I said Bluesoup - twisted business sense. Its pretty common that one hand often doesnt know what the other is doing...

Well, one of the things I have seen consistently complained about is that creators find their files on a share site *just* a day later, or sooner...as if to say 'hey I haven’t even made enough money off of it yet'

According to her 'new' policy, you cant just show up and donate to get the goods unless you have been lining her pockets for a while already, this to me smacks of her wanting to make sure that she gets at least 15 days of donations in before the files end up on the open file share market.

I suppose in her twisted business sense that people who are regular donators are not as likely to be filesharers, in this way she possibly thinks she can assure that she at least gets 15 days worth of donations before it hits the fileshare market.

Hell just canceling internet fees alone would help, not to mention the amount paid for the games along with the amount paid for a decent meshing and graphics program...  unless of course, they arent paying for the any of that either.

Do people actually read before they post - or do they just willynilly and quite blindly post the same damn question over and over completely oblivious to the fact that someone likely already asked and answered it - several times - in several places and more importantly not only right above but directly prior to their own post?

pfft!

Seriously - the one thing I cant figure out about this person is why they think anyone would even consider buying anything they could not get a good look at first. Shooting all your wares in the dark? What are you hiding in those shadows? Shoddy workmanship perhaps? I mean that’s just poor business sense from the get go.

Next!

When bitches get their way for no explainable reason the only thing I can figure is she must give really good head...

It would be pretty funny to have a directory for sites like this anyway with a rtfm in it stating that the site was deemed unworthy of being pillaged due to the lack of craftmanship or whatever.  :twisted:
