Possibly... but that doesn't justify charging money for it.

Nodachi, Even thought you didn't want to, you did - which is insulting.

Hadrian, I fail to see where anything I've said could be considered insulting. I beleive I specificly said that I'm sure you've worked hard on this. I have not criticized your work. I just pointed out that some of what you're doing will not be considered a big deal.

Now you also mis-read alot of the stuff I wrote.

No sir, I did not. I did not quote every "feature" because I did not see the need and I did not wish my post to be viewed as a personal attack (guess I failed there since you were insulted )

the meager wages I get out of sears and the fact my family is starting our own business makes money tight.

I feel for you, money is tight for a lot of us but when your hobby starts to interfere with your life or costing too much money you should either curtail your hobby or find a new one.

Now, throughout both of my Posts I have treated you respectfully. I have not attacked you or your work, I do not know you and I am sure you are a good person, so if you find this post to be insulting or an attack then you, my friend, need to get a thicker skin.

I don't think he has to justify charging for it. As long as he has permission from Sharpnel/Malfador to charge for it, which is fairly standard across the industry. And I seem to recall Richard saying that they would not have problems with it, assuming the quality was acceptable. Hadrian has already stated he would get their ok before he sold anything, so that's pretty much all he has to do.

Now, whether or not he will sell any is a totally different question. It is tough afterall to sell a product when your main "competitors" are giving it away. You have to make a compelling case that the quiality is way better than what they can get for free. If he does that, then more power to him.

I have no comment on this, I just thought it was classic so I wanted to quote it.

id pay for it.Im sure hes going to release a demo of some sort before charging.I mean cmon its ten dollers and i dont think its for the actual material but to cover the cost of the CD,the S&H,postage,and maybe a doller or two for the actual work he did.I mean i feel either its we pay for it on CD or we pay to download it from a site due to the excessive bandwith costs...i prefer the cd.I mean god its 5-10 dollers what else this good can you buy for that?other then a whole bunch of slurpees from 7-11 and Jhonen vasquez comics i cant think of much.Besides im sure if someone offered to host it on their site,or rather give him the money for the bandwith that he would say yes.Besides cmon people its 5-10 dollers even if the mod somehow stunk to the high hevens(it doesent) youd have only lost ten dollers max...considering that i would surely pay..I dont know about them but hadrian when it comes out you have at least one customer...

Shipping 2 CDs might cost $2. The CDs themselves cost at most 20 cents, and maybe 50 cents for printed labels. $10 is way more than charging just the basic costs.

Whoa hey!

Enough already. If the guy gets permission, then MM must think it's up to snuff, and they obviously think it's acceptable to charge money. If you think he's charging too much, don't buy it. Likewise if you think it's wrong.
I personally think we could use Shrapnel's bandwidth for something better than arguing over this though.

[Fyron]

I have had no intention to buy it.
