You are a mature dev; open your own studio; rather than make fs.to richer; you can still do freeware if you like; + with some income you can invest in software / system and whatever you need to expand.

Obviously, you know nothing of me ;) For the record: I'm a real amateur developer capable only to do freeware (very few LoD in my sceneries, not much complex airport and very few complex object/texture, pbr texture...), I'm not retired and add to manage a business/family life in parallel. All is done on my free spare time. I have zero ambition to open my own studio because I know perfectly what selling products mean (support, customer, business plan, timeline, tax...). I don't want to host my work somewhere that would required to manage it (or pay someone to do it). I just want to upload a description, pictures and version updates whenever I want and can. I want to keep it as a pleasure. So far, my relationship with flightsim.to seems to be a win-win, at least there're not complaining ;) They regularly give me some $, as the community (but mostly feedback and comments are the fuel ;) and our relationship seems balanced ;)

I would move on and search for new development opportunities; to be honest with you the winner here is fs.to not you.

I don't understand this tack. What does it matter?

For amateur developers like Vincent and myself, it's worth it to have a convenient place to host creations, with many search functions and ease of linking to other sceneries and libraries.

I don't have Creator status yet (as Vincent said it can take awhile to get) but because I upload projects regularly I get a free premium account and fs.to staff respond to my inquiries pretty fast when things come up. For amateurs it is simply a user-friendly place to be based. They allow us to put a donation button on our uploads, and that generates some $$ anyway, which pays the bills for a couple tools I use. Cannot really complain.
