her childhood wasn't a bed of roses,
Not everyone's childhood is a bed or roses.. But that isn't a excuse to try and get pity from people. Or to justify charging for items. What's the point about making whiny after whiny post on a forum? People can not fix your issues or fix you. I think she's a attention seeker.
Yeah, I'm unclear on the whole "my childhood was hard so that explains why it's OK for me to be a greedy, whiny attention-seeker" connection.
I just got a shiny new computer, installed Oblivion, and proceeded on a crazy sugar-fueled mod download spree. One of the mods changes the levels and items throughout the entire game, as well as adding some quests. Other mods replace nearly all the textures. For free. Why, oh why, would they do such a thing? These mods take weeks and months and sometimes years of work. Why, everyone making these mods for free for any computer game must be rich, happy, and healthy!
As someone who dabbles in making real mods, I think the idea of charging for them is utterly disgusting. When it comes down to it, you're trying to soak your own community. Gag.
