I had a mail conversation few day’s ago with Ts staff and it was hopeless, the main argument was, (quote) “We feel that artists posting models at a cheaper price on other sites undermines the efforts of our exclusive artists “(end quote).
To me it looks like they are undermining their exclusive artists themselves.
The result of their outlandish policy is that almost all non exclusives are now leaving the platform (including me, my goods remain offline until further notice) resulting in even stronger competition for those remaining exclusives on Ts.
All these frustrated non exclusives are now competing successfully here on CGt against Ts, providing similar or even better quality goods at considerable better rate without hurting themselves. Most hardened loyal Ts customers see this quality goods and simply buy them here now, Ts exclusives will probably feel increasing pain of this, interesting to see how this is going to pan out for them because the way I see it is that Ts has no real solution for them.
I’m convinced there really is no way to compete successfully against CGtrader growth with current strategy's they come up with, CGtrader simply delivers superior service for fraction of the cost and Ts is doing nothing to bring added value to their platform to compensate for being such expensive service (which is the root problem).
