Hudson rFactor addons for next to nothing

Hudson is getting a new job and will no longer be doing rFactor addons. He is running a sale for his existing add ons and even giving away his cameras. Tracks are now $2.75. The site will close Sunday night. http://hudsonkerr.com/index.php I paid full price for his stuff and thought it was good value. It is top quality stuff and I would recommend snapping it up. Without getting into a payware debate I think it is a shame the option for Hudson's addons will be lost and wish him all the best for the future. Cheers Tony

It's a shame he doesn't just release them at no cost too. I just don't dig those people who pile on to retail releases, trying to make a buck. It reminds me of those who always want to make money out of tragedies-- or who always want to make money out of anything. I just will never understand why people chase money around like that.

I'll never understand what the hell made you such an asshole.

Sort of like changing a closing down sale sign in a shop to loot me now...

Hi Tony, thanks for the heads up. Just grabbed one of the few remaining copies of the Toban and Essington texture updates and the Skypack 2. Cheers, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

Why not? For all those who have purchased his stuff in the past, it would be a nice gesture. What does the guy plan to do with his stuff otherwise? If this were you, and your choices were to give the stuff away for free, or to just pack up and be done with it, what would you do? But since there's always the lingering lure of making money somewhere down the road (for whatever end), my guess is the guy would rather close up shop and give no one nothing, unless it means cash for him.

Well you can't please everyone. Someone will be pissed that they paid full price and now it is free, others may have been planning to purchase and see favoritism to previous customers etc etc. A closing down sale seems the right thing to do. I would guess there are costs for the ecommerce site right up to the closure that need to be covered. Plus who knows what may happen in the future, but giving away free what was full price a week ago does not seem a good way to keep potential customers. Cheers Tony
