"whats in it for me?"

this may be a dumb question,but i had to ask.y do u guys make these free games?whats in it for u?what do u gain outta it?

I'm guessing:

1.) You feel good about yourself for having created something.
2.) You feel good for sharing that something and getting a reaction (hopefully a good one.)
3.) I'm sure they have fun playing this mod simply because it's good, because DBZ need someone to carry a game as far as they did and in another manner, beyond the money-grubbing funimation *******s that poop out these half-assed games every few years like final bout and crap like that.

fun? nothing else to do? glory? who knows...

its like asking someone why do they help an old lady across the street. Cuz its the right thing to do and it makes you feel good and proud of yourself.

To make a name for yourself. By making this free it alows anyone with hl to play them and then it gets spread around very easily and then someone may see them and say "This is good stuff, I would like them to work for me".

Hey hey hey, final bout wasnt a masterpiece, but it was at least fun for a little while. Budokai, however, is a complete piece of crap. In fact, the only two good commercial games were the first one for the Playstation (japan) DBZ Legends, and the only Sega Genesis(japan) DBZ game, dont know the name.

But yes, this game really captures the feeling of the show very nicely.

I believe that liek Hsu said to make a name for themselves, I mean come on, CS is a mod, and it went on retail!

agreed

hmm in the last three post i have looked at i keep wanting to quote Hsu i agree with evry thing he says..

How about increasing their skill as well? I bet it also looks good on applications if one of the team members decides to go on programming or mapping for other games as well.

to make people like us happy.. and to hopefully have some rich dude say.. " u, i like u, heres a 219038dollars.. now u work for me":laff:

probably because he's a mod, and near enough everything he says is valid and correct

if u keep asking such questions mabey they will be less inclined to make them period!!!!

Yep, the a definate benifet of making mods is that it looks very good on a resume. An example would be Fox1 (I think it was fox) from the Bushido mod. He was the lead texture artist. He had to leave the project because he got a job working for a game company. Mod work looks great on a resume.

Don't forget to count that they are doing what they enjoy, possibly. Some of them may be genuinely interested in their roles on the team, and feel that this is a great outlet for that interest. Heck, if they were looking for a musician, I'd sign up in a second, because I like that as a hobby. Can you see where I'm coming from?

They do it because they want respect and are freakishly addicted to dbz

simply because they love it, and it's fun!

and esf is not the only thing .. there are hundreds of mods out there, and all of them are free. and there is a whole community for mods. check out:

sell the rights to sierra and make money off it... why you think CS was made?

1) for a refrance for a job.
2) to make there skillz better.
3)for the fans.
4)for fun.
5) for all the peeps that hate f***ing funi for making those half
A** crappy games.
