the only problem here is this and i will use arcab for expample

it used to be freeware and was bloody great so people downloaded it...then they decide to make it payware and low and behold you forget to back the program up before you format your hard drive...the same thing now costs a fair bit of money.

they should enhance it and modify it cram it with tonnes of features then make it payware and leave the freeware alone.. at worse even stop upgrading the free verision....

Well, most of you might know about the project I'm on.

After reading this thread, it now scares me. What is one day, my add-on might become too popular? Then chances are, I might become desperate for money. However, thank god that there are other ways to be rich.

I follow a certain saying. "Why should anyone have pay money to have any fun?" Addon are meant to give fun.

Guys, I don't understand. Back then, everyone was making freeware product just for the hell of it. Just giving people the fun they deserve.

Now look at the FS world today. Not only are some people monopolizing on a product that used to be freeware, but now this entire payware-addon thing seems to become more like an industry. God save us and our wallets.
