too many master skins

Monday, September 22, 2014 by PixelPunk | Discussion: WindowBlinds

There are simply too many master skins and too few other skins.  Front skin page.... 2/3 are master?

And for some reason, the windowblind skinners are the majority of the master skinners on wincustomize.  Just look at all the other stardock products that have a lot of skins that are.... free?  Maybe Windowblinds should be free, and stardock could make their money from the subsidizing/distribution of the skins themselves.  I dunno, but I am getting leary of continuing my subscription when I can't find anything useful.  Even the quality of the master skins is often on par somewhat to what was free just a few years ago.  We all know your mileage may vary on some skins due to design flaws, so having them mostly master is kind of scary.  I have heard the argument that the artist should be paid for their work... but these prices are not right.  I have heard the skins are like music, and one would pay for music.  Okay, how about $.99 for a skin, but $4.95-$5.95?  Perhaps more skins would be sold if there price was similar to a song on itunes.  There is something to be said about volume sales.  I would be more willing to purchase them at a song price rather than an album price.

Of course they are.  They're Masters.  They're Masters for a reason and that reason is always quality.  The Masters have the least amount.
