Oh well.. don't want to start a flame war here, but as a content developer (hereafter: CD)
myself I must confess that I find that "gimme" attitude slightly annoying. The CD's spend there
own free time and energy to create content, and as for me, I do it for myself and not primarily for
the community. If I share something it is because someone else shared it in the first place (as with
Small City 2009, Badlands, and one day to be released, Gizmo's).
But I still have tons of tracks that I have not released, nor ever will, because I made them for myself,
because I do not have permission to release, and sometimes simply because I make mashups.
Other tracks are not good enough for releasing and some not interesting enough.
Posting images of our work does not mean it will be a future release, it only means that we are
interested in feedback, or that we simply are proud of what we have done.
Now, if we decide to show an image, and then say it will, might, possibly could be released, it means
- be patient. Crying "gimme" for every darn image posted is not only silly, it is most impolite and without
respect - respect forboth the time the CD's spend and the effort they (we) put into it.
Also, the community, as I have experienced, is about sharing. Sharing means giving something back to
the community for all the free stuff you get. Simply screaming "gimme" is not considered giving something
back.
Of course, not everyone can give something, for various reasons, but if you can't, then just shut up and
wait for a release, at least we then will respect you. And then, when something is released, post some
comments, good or bad, so that the developer can fix or improve on the object.
Sorry for this post, but as I spend alot of time making stuff - for sharing even - this kind of "gimme"
attitude really p*sses me off..
@zatra: I don't care if it was about the car or the shaders. The car has been released and with some
effort you could mod it yourself. There are lots of examples in the Lambo dir and other places.
And.. if he decides to release his CG shaders, he will do it in his own time. Please respect his work
and let him finish, then upload it in his own time is he so wishes to do so.
