I've moved all my models on Ts to offline until further notice, at this point for me Ts has lost all added value.
I’ve always felt bad turning over 60% of earnings and now they are starting cutting down on my prices, this is from bad to even worse, not participating in this anymore.
Ts relationship has always felt disrespectful to me, feel better now working with partners that have more respect for artists, I think a healthy relationship creates more opportunity for everyone.
I think Ts made this awful situation themselves, they made big mistake about 3 years ago underestimating what CGtrader could do for us (mostly non exclusives), if you ask me I would say Ts lost the battle out of sheer arrogance. They had hoped they could squeeze so hard with 60% cut we would eventually brake and go for exclusive deal, did not happen and they basically left backdoor wide open for competition to deliver interesting proposals to us, and they did.
