You do not have to put up with anyone at all, there are ways around all that.

Seriously? It sounds greedy? Maybe if he was paid by Blizzard and
THEN tried to get more $$$ from you that would be greedy. As it is he is just trying to preserve what little sanity he has left from wasting years dealing with vitriolic, petulant children who seemingly suffer from "affluenza."

You should be the better man and just do what you love. You are making everyone else suffer because you want to go against Blizzards rules (Which is dumb) and make people pay for the addon because you are mad or something? I am sad to see all this happen but I am not sad to see your stuff shut down from WOWI, simply because you are being selfish and broke the rules man.

So by "better man" you mean a slave, right? Because that's essentially what Scott, and any addon dev, is under the current system. Just as a slave is required to work without pay and has no voice regarding the equitable distribution of the fruits of his labor so too is Scott prevented from determining who can and cannot use his creation.
Actually no. At least a slave received room and board. Pretty sure Scott doesn't even get that.

I am not attacking you in anyway but, only giving you the truth. Sorry if you can not accept that. I know you have talent but going this way about it is wrong man. look at Tukui and ElvUI, you think they like having spam and so on? They are the 2 biggest UIs around yet they do fine with everything without charging people for the UIs. What makes you so different man? I am lost at words here.

Yeah, actually you are attacking him and in very specific ways. Telling someone that what they are doing sickens you is an attack. Telling someone that they should just take it in the chin and agree to be bent over by a ridiculously unjust system is an attack. WowI derives profit from the work of people like Scott in the ad banner revenue they generate. Without people like Scott this site would have been a barren wasteland years ago.
It's interesting that you use Tukui and ElvUI as your example. Taken directly from the Tukui homepage:
|
Tukui is a mature community of players dedicated to create an awesome gaming experience over World of Warcraft and some other games. The community was created in 2008. Since then, the staff of Tukui have been working hard to provide various addons and interface for on World of Warcraft including the very popular user interface Tukui and ElvUI.

Clearly you can see that Tukui is a TEAM ergo more than one person. Scott is not. That's what makes him so different.
