It doesn't go to the developers though, it goes to Unixmad.

Well whoever hosts iOS Classic, I just wanna make sure they can keep the power bill paid

Thanks to gralat packs, yes Unixmad has more than enough for that.

Glad to hear it, it's my pocket fun and I hope it stays alive and well  

If they had this as an uploaders pack, that could be interesting, since it's roughly 10$ for a body, or 20$ for a head. (if you buy them, rather than farming for them.) So charging like 20$ up front for 5 uploads or something could be interesting. - But that could also backfire and bloat the server with more graphics.

if you don't want to pay for graal then you shouldn't play at all!! i support ryan's idea

I don't pay. And i play

- Swamptown ($20)
- Belle ($5, but $80 if you spar)
- Yorktown (free)

Season Pass

I reckon each graal game should start offering a season pass, where people pay an amount to get all the in game updates available to them. They could make it so you have to get a new one every year, and charge something small to start off (maybe $20 USD?) What do you think?

eww  

What would be brilliant would be if they introduced a legitimate way for people to sell their art to other players (customs, hats, whatever) and skimmed a percentage of each sale. But hey, logic and graal, oil and water.

how do you know when someone is selling something that they actually made? think that's one of the reasons they stopped 1k hats

The way to do it is to have people pay to generate/send uploads. Basically make a monthly fee that lets a player have access to an upload system that the other players do not. Verify the artists directly, keep a database of files, and cross check every upload that goes through against the list of registered files. When an artist makes an upload and sends it in, they get credit for that art, it gets added to their 'collection' in the game, and they get the ability to sell it to players... for as long as they pay that monthly fee I mentioned earlier.

The bottleneck in this design is the hand checking of each piece, but that is already the case in the current system. Players would be able to ply their artistic skills in the game for a reasonable (potentially regulated) rate instead of feeling like they're constantly being under duress. They could have a public database of registered artists in the game with examples of their style and viewable portfolio. This design would do several things more efficiently than the current system:

• Reduce the load of submissions received
• Decrease the cost of uploads to players (making them more accessible)
• Enable artists to participate in the growth of the game
• Earn unix monthly income based on the artist fees
• Earn artists income for their work (as well as a small percentage going to the game from each sale)
• Increase the quality of graphics that are seen in the game
• Prevent headaches relating to 'stolen' work
• Facilitate recruiting for staff (graphics department headhunting)

If there's interest in the idea I would be happy to go over a working model or come up with some more bullet points... but for whatever reason when there's money to be made, it seems difficult to get the ball rolling here.
