Re: A89: Re: Perverted :)
I think this will turn into the whole issue of creating Programming Alliances
again... =P Did those two groups that were mentioned on 'ticalc.org', is it
working does anybody know...? Well, yes some of the Best programmers could
get together and make one of the Best programs, but are you people saying if
money isn't involved, the programmers will not put as much effort into it?
Programming is a hobby, and they would want to make their program the best
they can... and then distribute it to the TI Community, and It's a lot about
popularity, not money... =P
Hmm, about the Programming Alliances, it would be hard for people to get along
and see the best interests for their programs, and this will lead to
disputes... Say if you had these 5 people (which seems to be a good number)
and one of them wasn't pulling their weight and someone else was doing all the
work, How would you divide up that 5 Dollars that has been said to be about a
good price...? "Oh, we've decided your share is only 85 cents now... It's in
the mail, and we're charging you for the stamp, so your total for putting some
contribution into this program is 60 cents..." all amusing sarcasm there...
=P
Hmm, I can see that if a programmer worked alone and had been working on their
program for a very long time to excellent quality, then they should charge for
it, and they have the right to anyway... I know that I have a long term
project that will be excellent, but I would Not charge for it since I'd want
Anyone to play it that could, and then distribute to people at their school
and spread popularity for the game... a lot about getting recognition from
many people, but more about entertaining the user... Also, I would not charge
for it because I don't want to be Sued by the company I am jacking this
program idea from... (shhh, don't tell anybody... ;)
Hmm, well, I heard the idea of sending out a demo and that does sound like a
good idea, and if the program was good enough, maybe Many people would buy
it... The programmers would get a lot more than the 60 cents I under-
exaggerated earlier... ;) If monetary reimbursement for all the time and hard
work put into the program would satisfy the creator, then Sure, sell it! but
I'm in for it more on the popularity I'd get from making the program, not the
money... =P
