NRG-Vampire Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 of course i would pay sorry guys, i understand that everybody wants to get everything for free, or as cheap as possible but if you never made skins then you will not really appreciate the efforts of others and you have no idea how many work hours/man-hours (starting with research) can be put into a "simple" correct and detailed/realistic skin/livery just MHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 This is the silliest discussion I have ever seen on this forum. 1 - Since there is no way to protect them, the whole idea is pointless. 2 - Since ED owns the rights to the model, skinning it for profit is probably not legal. 3 - In the MP environment, custom skins would not even be visible unless every client owned them.

Just on point 2: Are you aware of the Steam Workshop and the entire CS:GO skinning industry? Same for TF2 stuff. Just saying it's entirely a thing that's being done by other companies. Nothing stopping ED going that route, if they offered the platform for selling. That said, I certainly wouldn't pay for skins. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!

Just saying it's entirely a thing that's being done by other companies. Nothing stopping ED going that route, if they offered the platform for selling. That would still require an agreement from ED to allow it.

Mainstay Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Absolutely NO ! Alot of people here make skins out of love for aviation like myself in the past. Not to gain anything from them whatsoever. People send PM's offering money to make them certain skins and i always turned them down because i want to make a skin when i have the time for it and i want the whole community to enjoy it as much i do myself. This world nowadays is already polluted by money milking practices as it is. Lets at least keep our niche enjoyable for everyone! :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealius Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 We already pay for modules. We already pay for maps. We already pay for campaigns. The DLC has to stop at some point. Customers are not ATM machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc_neo Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Nope wouldn't pay for skins either. Mainly because that is a very slippery slope and before we know it, monetization around here becomes just like all the AAA lootbox and microtransaction madness. This attracts a different crowd, and then the product and value for money changes accordingly. I don't see ED going this way, but once it starts and a couple years have passed...which developer could say not to all the easy money thrown at them by kids and "whales"?
