chichgirl46 - It would take a lot more than your comments to offend me
I think here would be a good time to mention that I have nothing to do with Stardock other than being a fan of their products. I don't think I've ever ran across Brad or anyone else in any official capacity calling the users leeches - that's just me calling SOME of them that.
Again, I will re-iterate, that NO ONE has mentioned exactly what types of restrictions will be in place. We're all in the same boat here. If they decide to go with a model where if you don't contribute actual skins, you get limited, then ooh boy, am I for a limiting. I do seem to recall back when limits were first kicked around that skin contributers would be a "step-up" so to speak from those regular users and not as effected (if at all) from limits. Again, this is my fuzzy memory dredging up something. I could be wrong.
Who knows? Well, hopefully Brad & Co. have a good idea, but as I said, let's wait for them to roll it out before we criticize.
Will I pay for the subscription model? Yep. Why? Because, as I said, I can't skin worth beans. Even my discussion board contributions have been way down as of late. That's why. I still come here probably two or three times a week and see what's new in a few different sections and d/l anything I think looks good.
What you say about there being many ways to raise money to pay for WC bandwidth is true - this is just one way. But again, I'm going to say, no where above does it say that the only way to access skins on WC is to pay. (Granted, it doesn't explicitly say there will still be free access either, but it is implied.)
Let's just wait and see...
