I knew there were some good people at Maxis. Shame he's living off Patreon, though.

I imagine there's no chance of him getting to work at Paradox?
[QUOTE=NitronikALT;47333719]I imagine there's no chance of him getting to work at Paradox?[/QUOTE] Depends. Paradox is based in Stockholm, so it'd be a bit of a commute.

Not really fair for everyone else making buildings, why should he get money when everyone else like myself do it entirely free?
[QUOTE=Lf751;47334834]Not really fair for everyone else making buildings, why should he get money when everyone else like myself do it entirely free?[/QUOTE] It's not like he's charging for them, no one's forced to give him anything.
[QUOTE=woolio1;47333724]Depends. Paradox is based in Stockholm, so it'd be a bit of a commute.[/QUOTE] His line of work is the type that can be (and often is) outsourced, so he could very well work as a 'external art consultant'
[QUOTE=NitronikALT;47333719]I imagine there's no chance of him getting to work at Paradox?[/QUOTE] He was actually [url="https://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/comments/2ywf4c/maxislime_here_checking_in_with_my_first_art_mod/"]talking to one of the Paradox guys on Reddit[/url], but he was just told to keep an eye open in case they could need someone in the future.

[QUOTE=Lf751;47334834]Not really fair for everyone else making buildings, why should he get money when everyone else like myself do it entirely free?[/QUOTE] Envious much? Make your own patreon, if you're good, people will support you.
[QUOTE=Lf751;47334834]Not really fair for everyone else making buildings, why should he get money when everyone else like myself do it entirely free?[/QUOTE] Perhaps because he set it up where he can do so and nobody else cares enough to do it? It's entirely fair. If you care enough, get off your ass and do it.
I'm just thinking everyone is going to start expecting to be paid to do it.

Man, layoffs suck. I hope he finds solid work soon, and he does enough from this campaign to at least not go in the red. I see no problems with people profiting from something they are skilled at. If it's a good product then people will be happy to pay.
