Default Poll: If GWX was payware, how much would you pay for it?

Those GWX guys are incredible, no doubt about that! Based on what we know so far about the development, how much would you pay if this addon was payware? (I know i would pay with my grandma if i could.)

For an add-on to something flight MS FlightSim you'd be paying anything up to $80. If it was packaged I'm sure there would be a market, albeit a relatively small one, say compared to WoWIII.

I wouldn't pay anything because then GWX would have been stolen from some gallant freeway mod team.

Maybe a hard copy of GWX on cd should be made available for a reasonable price for the folks that still use dial up. And for those that simply want to show a little bit of love. Could even release it a week before the download version becomes available.

Also, Wildhawke11's suggestion is definitely worthy of some consideration ie: people could show a little apreciation by making a small contribution to help with the upkeep of this great site

I would willingly sell my house and children, but not the car.

Seeing GWX is "freeware" and made with other mods that are free, plus what the GWX Team has done, the only way it could ever be sold is if all that are a part of it got a piece of the "action". And I doubt that will or should ever happen for the obvious reasons.

But if it was possible, I agree with Pants. Use the proceeds for a good cause. Like helping Neal with SS and Terrapin with his site, if he kept it going. I believe that would keep everyone involved happy. Even if it's put on a CD or DVD to pass around for those unable to download it, use the money to pay for the discs and what's left over go to the sites mentioned. Afterall, without the SS and UBRS sites we wouldn't have a place to bitch and moan and get these free downloads.

Just my inconsequential 2cents.

@Fenris_Wolf

How far into the future are you looking ? :hmm:

@GT182

It was decided at it's earliest inception and stated by Kpt.Lehmann on numerous occasions here on SS, that GWX will always be FREE.....I don't disagree with you when you state that sites such as SS are worthy causes (I donate to SS on a personal level). However, the moral all of those over at GWX strictly adhere to is the one that states GWX was developed for the benefit of all those in the community and FREE at point of collection.
