This. I've stopped making content after the barrage of comments that even 5 dollars was too much to pay. And seeing brand new products of mine selling for as low as 42 cents. Yes. 42 cents.

And yes, the content would end up on piracy sites within a day.

So prices were lower, and sales were lower. What incentive is there to continue making content, especially when potential buyers don't appreciate it?

lmao was that "on sale for 42 cents" thing here? without your choice to do it? what the absolute hell, who thinks that's a good arrangement for anyone?

Nope, with all the sales and stackable deals at Daz, I saw things selling for under a buck by the time all the discounts and coupons and shares were taken out. It was very discouraging. Especially when there was thread after thread of people complaining that even five dollars was too much to pay for any content.

To that I would say to those that set that limit, think about the time involved in creating content. A set of clothing rigged with morphs. A detailed prop set like Stonemason makes. How long do you think that will take to create something that meets DAZ standards for release?  I have to wonder how many other PAs are so discouraged and don't make content anymore. 8-(
