Blockland mod market system?

[Nitramtj]

I really find dontcare4free's logic quite inapplicable given the idea that he's trying to convey.  Not only does it make him sound ignorant in general, but it makes it seem as if he doesn't understand what the people arguing against the OP are saying.

He's against the principle of people not agreeing to pay for a mod at all, in any game, which some here are giving the impression of. He still agrees there shouldn't be a mod market system in Blockland.

His first post made sense, and I wasn't annoyed by it in the slightest.

He could have stopped there, honestly.  He could have stopped right there...

Guys, just stop. This suggestion is isn't going to go anywhere since of the very slim chance of this happening (Like 1/1000000000). Let's just keep thinking this would be added and we just move along. (Hope this isn't a dismissive post)

It is dismissive.  Especially since everyone here has already stated that this would never happen.  The OP kept coming back to argue more, so the conversation kept going.

Oh, uhhh. Damn it.

no. no bl mod is worth a penny. compared to what real mod teams can do, bl mods are total crap. its disgraceful to sell your addon for 5 bucks when its just a few lines of code and some amatuer graphics.

donations are ok because they allow you to support people whos addons you like, but allow everyone to use them for free.

What's you're opinion on indy games? Just because its made by one person doesn't mean its stuff?
If a lot of effort was put into it, I'm sure it'd be worth something?

Wrong, none of your mods are worth a penny. RTB could be sold for 5 bucks, easily.

That wasn't his point.

The problem with that is that RTB really should just be included with the game. It's the only mod with a friends list and private messaging system, and this shouldn't be restricted by cost. Though Ephi did mention getting 'bonuses' for paying for it, which all the money would go into supporting RTB itself. But I think he dropped that idea because he couldn't think of anything to limit to paying members.

The main problem is this system wouldn't be sustainable in Blockland. It's inconvenient to most of the players and, if they could buy, the revenue wouldn't be enough to justify the work.

I actually agree, that at Blocklands current state it wouldn't be sustainable. My thinking is that Blockland, if it got onto steam, would grow pretty quickly in its user base :].


-Thanks to all those who supported, and to those who actually gave real counter arguments :].

No, it couldn't, since RTB is pretty much worthless without the network effect (something it would probably lose ASAP, especially in BL, if he started charging).
What is the mod manager if nobody uploads any add-ons?
What is the server preferences manager if no add-ons support it?
What is RTB Connect without users?

I think if RTB were to make money, it would be off of ether getting paid by Blockland, or by selling ad space.

obviously everyone has money to randomly throw out their star fish to simply join a server!

seriously you must be loving rich to come up with something like this

yea except indy games that cost five bucks have tons of lines of coding and development behind them.

nah your wrong. Whats the point in paying for a mini steam if it doesnt even get used. its designed to be free and its not worth a buck. Accepting donations in exchange for an icon or something is better because you arent forcing people to pay to use the addon.
