Yeah man, some people make games and SELL them too!
As a side note, anyone bought any of the Rpgmaker games being sold on Steam? I've bought all of them, just need to find time to play them haha.
Absolutely not. Most of them are extremely generic JRPG garbage. I'm amazed anyone buys them. A lot of them are actually using 100% default RTP graphics and charging $10-$20 for a game. I remember a couple games that were posted on here many years ago where the creators said they intended to charge for them and most people shot them down. Back then trying to sell your RPG Maker game was heresy, even if you were using original assets.
Honestly I think the direction the RPG Maker scene has gone these days is downright disgusting, or maybe I'm just clinging to the old ways too much. Pretty much everyone using RPG Maker VX Ace is using default RTP all the time. I can't stand the way that RTP looks with the tiny characters and blocky chipsets. The program itself costs 70 fucking US dollars which is pretty outrageous. Not to mention the troves of downloadable music and graphics, some of them costing $30. Every modern day RPG Maker game I've seen looks exactly the same and the rampant use of the disgusting RTP is killing creativity and originality.
