- madsushi 13y agoExcept that you can sell the items you make for cash, and a lot of people make thousands of dollars making hats for Valve games.
- endianswap 13y agoYup, over 10 million dollars paid out for TF2 items as of June apparently: http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=10843 http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=10843
- mh- 13y agoReally? It felt more like a genuine attempt to gauge interest, and possibility recruit for, a project they're considering.
- brokenparser 13y agoI quote: We'd hope that this will get enough of our users exposed to and interested in Blender so they will be inclined to work on Blender plugins that would talk to Steam's backend services Recruiting you say? Certainly so, they appear to be taking volunteers.
- IanCal 13y agoShame on them for hoping people will contribute to an open source project.
- brokenparser 13y agoNo, I do that myself. This is like writing a plugin to integrate WinSCP with Azure. Who the fuck cares except Microsoft?
- IanCal 13y agoThis is integrating a free 3d package with a very popular game distribution network. The plan is to essentially just have a link from steam to a vanilla download of blender, and they hope there will be more of a community built up around it. I have absolutely no idea what you're complaining about or how this could be a bad thing.
- brokenparser 13y agoThe plan is to get that, and let the community to their work from thereon. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I (for one) wouldn't want to do their job for free.
