All I can blame is the domino effect of all those big gaming networks closing and etc, regressing communities and brickwalling creative output. At least GSI had it coming

but yeah it's a shame that new recent releases have been lame-ass repacks by do-nothings and the latest models being straight-up copyright infringement conversions.
The last time I showed off a WIP model (at Epicgames), a certain lamer derailed and requested nude versions and cluttered the thread with requests (it was a female elf), and the last time i've released a small wip beta of one with exceptions that it doesn't get mirrored (since I was making rapid progress and i don't want version fragmentation),
it got mirrored anyway and I had 0 crits/feedback. I figured these were a good sign to stop
Also i've had a couple of
death threats over refusing to release a WIP UT2004 model for Garry's Mod and Smash Brothers Brawl
