i'm sure newgrounds benefits from it in some way but the hook is that you get a slice of the profits

And you get to make your preloader a generic and ugly pile of shit as a kicker

Quote from: rtilthe legal issues don't have much of anything to do with it for me, people have been stealing on that site and getting away with it for years. from a personal standpoint, with newgrounds being so absorbed already with things like internet stats and scores and rankings, i think adding money to the whole mix simply makes it that much worse of a site and encourages people to sell out. because in reality the only people who are making any tangible profit from it are "newgrounds partners" like egoraptor.

the api is only good for either viral flashes that will spread like fuck (metal gear awesome, charlie the unicorn etc) or games. Games, as soon as they hit the frontpage, will get "stolen" by about 500 websites, which is really great if you put an api in there.

To date I've made over $400 from Buccaneer Battle

Quote from: rtil^that's exactly what i'm talking about

the part where i'm a sellout who's only in it for the money? I entered it in a contest. If I didn't win, I wouldn't have been able to resell sponsorship. I see absolutely nothing wrong with making money off my "work," and it was a huge gamble to enter that contest, especially with such a rushed game--the ad would've prevented it from being a complete waste of effort if we hadn't won. If you want to act like you're above me because you reject the notion of profiting off art, you can go ahead, but I in no way altered the game to make it more likely to make money, and I don't plan to do so in the future.

ahahahahah
