Here is what I am trying to do (being the cheapskate I am) Get FM12 as cheaply as I possibly can.and I'll admit, I have been burnt already of this one. Got a 'new' copy from ebay only to find the steam code had been used. Fairly unimpressed, and I think steam will kill the second hand game market. Whatever I save on the RRP, I will donate to FMRTE, GS and here, purely because it is a community and this site and the add ons have given so much, and my wife would say has used at least 20 days of my life that I could have been doing other things with.

Flashback Back in the day (FM09) when Eugene (GS author) tried to make Genie Scout 'donationware' SI had a problem with that and he had to stop, even though he also released a free version with limited functionality. Deja vu Raul (FMRTE author) made his free version to be of limited functionality as it won't allow saving edits. Basically the editing functionality is a premium feature; and editing is what this program is known for. Apparently SI didn't take any action yet and from what I've been reading on Twitter, they don't consider this illegal, and that is a surprise for me. Invalid reasoning and comparison Someone said that SI had a problem with Eugene because he based Genie Scout on the code of Nygreen, which was released as open source when SI hired him. This is not true at all, as GS has no traces of Nygreen's code in the last couple of years.

Our official reaction as fmscout.com I announced that we won't be supporting FMRTE while there is no fully functional free version that at least allows editing. I still keep page for it on this site, but download link just points to the official FMRTE site with a warning about the premium version. A SI affiliate principle As a SI affiliate we have agreed to support free content, while monetizing is only allowed in waiving limits or annoyances for something you can already use for free. We support this principle. Genie Scout is based on that rule.

The public version is fully functional, just using 2 ads and has a couple of minor features that you can live without. The 'g' version is for contributors only (either people who donate or translate the program into a new language), and this way everyone's happy and we have no complaints. I guess being an FM and CM old boy, ive been spoilt through the years with free programs. I just dont see why now, after 11 years of playing these fantastic games, I should pay someome for something that no author has ever charged for. The FM community for a long time has been great, people creating programs for the joy of it, for helping others. Now it seems all the authors want to do is make money out of it. I totaly agree with what genie has done, a fully working program, donate if you wish (which i will).

I think for me, as stam said, its the prospect of 'donationware' I just dont agree with. MarqueeMoon: I don't think it's wrong - There is a lot of work behind it and you can just give a euro, a dollar, a pound - you won't be getting any poor from it. I think the approach of forcing a donation is wrong. He could just say FMRTE is no longer free, and it's instead sold for at least 1 EUR because he needs to justify the time spent on this project and hopefully make a profit; either that or no more FMRTE for the world.

That should be a reasonable explanation. Some kind of warning beforehand would be a decent thing to do as well. It's a bit odd to go premium-only all of a sudden for the same FM version you released a fully functional free version weeks ago. A lot of people around the FM community have worked hard for various projects and reasons, but still share their labor for free. Are they idiots? The truth is money changes most people, and this usually happens once we have to make a living on our own, away from the parents.

MarqueeMoon.and the program is just very well and helps a lot. FMRTE is a great program. I've never used it and I shouldn't be qualified for an opinion about its usefulness.

Vitesse Sans Font here. However, what I've realized is that FM would crash and corrupt savegames with increased frequency since people started using that program. Of course people would blame SI for a buggy FM at any case, because they wouldn't accept it was something wrong they did. In the end, the author himself makes the program available as beta with a 'use at your own risk' warning. MarqueeMoon: People need to stop thinking everything is free, because one day things will cease to exist, music, programs etc. I totally agree, but it wasn't like he didn't get any money in return apart from recognition.
