Retirement from Starfield Constructions Part 2
Not gonna lie, it has been a quick minute from my last post, however here is that update I wanted to share with you.
Running a Second Life Store is hard, trying to create something that someone else has yet to make is hard. You gotta figure out what it is, how it will work and all kinds of features that nobody else has or has thought of.
Sadly SFC was unable to hold its own and I had to step away from the store. Fact is, we couldn't just pay people to build or script for us, we had to do it from the point of, you script it, update it, add stuff to it, and once its for sale you get a % of that sale each time it sells. Sounds fair to me, you get paid each time that item sells.
Was a good idea, until it wasn't. Simply put, we couldn't keep scripters, or builders, because they wanted money now, not later. Well you signed a contract, you broke contract, you lose your % on each sale.
So with that going on, I caved and gave the store to the other owner and walked away.
Shit happens, and I've been better for doing so.
