Does anyone think they are better off after the recent unpopular changes made by CGTrader?

I don't think anyone would think that. CGTrader is dying. It's just a matter of time.

From cgtrader's point of view it's a zero sum game, they can only win if we all lose.

Interesting that my answer to the question is downvoted. I just don't get how CGT thinks they will profit from this.

When I look at the statistics, they claim "traffic and earnings are up," but my sales have plummeted. There are constant discount campaigns, but this isn't convincing, and the latest policy update has also negatively impacted me. Sellers are starting to shift to selling on other sites. Earnings are declining, and it's not pleasant. It's a shame for all the hard work we've put in. CGTrader has shot itself in the foot.
