Just FYI, I did not send my monetary difficulties to start one of those pitty parties. I did so to let those who always harp on “Just save money” realize that their suggestion is not part of some of our “real worlds”. The response of “Just save money”, in my opinion, is heartless, uncaring, unrealistic, and unnecessary. It is a dispationate slap in the face. If someone said that to me in person, their teeth would be broken if I were not in a good mood at the moment.

Game development is both time-consuming and expensive. There is a lot more that goes into it than people might think. People that develop games are entitled to financial compensation if they decide to sell their product.

I would consider it like having a second job that may or may not provide a large monetary gain. If they create or modify games as a sideline, why should they not ge paid?

The full-time developers need to be paid but the ones that make their money doing other work and do part-time development are another story. That's how linux got where it is today. The payment the linux developers got and get is they often learn more about programming doing their linux development than they manage to do in the careers where they make their money. A loss for employers but our gain. Aside from that, the linux developers get to work on the best supported operating systems on the planet. Microsoft can't match that level of support. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order."
