No hate what so ever for brands advertising and business reaching out
A store product was released today I will not state any names however its a 20 USD purchase (this was rounded up)
For a discord role and a 1 month coupon to tier 2 now that's not the only thing that gets released there been logs systems that are all online
what happens when the business is like fair enough lets shut down you loose your logging service your store etc etc
at the start gmodstore was all for downloadable software then leaks starting happening drm became a thing and now you get addons where you dont get any file or anything for your purchase just another link to login to
What's everyone's opinion on paying for services like a community addon that you have to forward your domain too cannot change anything or a store that gives you a 3 file Lua addon that you cannot change or do anything with
Somethings I'm for, like some owners are just starting out dont know how to host webservers or setup payment services so going to other businesses helps the economy helps places grow that's great however when everything starts to become a service what would happen to those small servers when that service decides gmod isn't liable and just shuts its doors
as thinking about it your entire community advertising and website is on someone's dedicated server
i know everything has its eol hosting company's shut down you loose your server its just the cycle but you can just download your data and move to another one hosting companies will be around for years to come
this isn't a moan or anything I'm generally interested in what people think or services that you pay for on gmodstore and receive another link to register your details with
