on this topic, I think its important to address collab etiquetteโฆ
collab etiquette covers HALF the things that go wrong during collabs, especially bigger collabs.

Ive seen people be late, no show, or โforgetโ a collab was happening. write it down, have a calendar, set an alarm. its unprofessional, hinders everyone else and is disrespectful to the host

if you need to cancel, give a heads up if possible. at the very minimum even last minute. if you โno showโ apologise afterwards

including everyone, avoiding inside jokes and trying not to speak over others, especially dominating the space. its okay if you talk alot but give others a chance too

If you are hosting, have people meet up earlier. set things up whether itโs a lobby or game code, making sure you and others have the game dowloaded, and be ready for tech support

please follow the rules of anyone streaming and donโt talk about anything controversial or could bring the mood down
of course there is other things I could add but these are the MAIN AND MANDATORY ones! makes sure โthat personโ isnโt you!
Since itโs becoming a hot topic (again), this was Munchaโs response in the official VGen discord regarding the requests to implement a price filter and I think everyone interested in the topic should give it a read!
I think she put it really well in that VGen being one of the few (if not only) sites that truly cares about empowering artists, would want to avoid a โrace-to-the-bottomโ model like other sites with price filters.
The moment a price filter is implemented, there would also surely be an influx of listings with misleading pricing just to make sure their services still show up when filtered for low prices.
There has already been so many cases of clicking into services with misleading base prices that surprises you later with unexpected hidden costs EVEN without price filtering, so you can only imagine how much worse it would be if price filtering is implemented.
This then defeats the whole purpose of having a price filter, and creates another tedious issue to regulate.
And itโs really not as easy as saying VGen just needs to make sure the artists with misleading services would be penalised accordingly when the sheer amount of reports would be way too overwhelming alongside the other reports they already handle everyday.
Other than this, thereโs also the fact that the filter ends up creating a competitive environment where artists feel pressured to price low to stay relevant/seen.
If small artists are already struggling to get their work seen right now, then what would happen if a price filter is introduced and they now also feel pressured to further lower their prices as much as possible just in hopes of being seen?
I understand that it would be convenient for clients on a budget but I hope clients also understand that thereโs really a lot to be considered, not just from the clientsโ perspective, but from the artistsโ standpoint too.
I love VGen and Iโm here today because their current system helped me reach potential clients even when I was a nobody ๐ฅน
I donโt have a solution to this but I just hope that VGen will always encourage and support a sustainable system for value-based pricing because then, artists can feel confident to price their work fairly as they grow without being pressured to price for visibility.๐
@kingdomkhada My reactions for elden ring wasn't really explosive or interesting either and I have yet to finish it still but I know when I do I will have thouroughly appreciated it.
@kingdomkhada Personally I don't feel too bad about it as it doesn't happen that often to me. I use streaming to finish games usually but some games can be more enjoyable to sit quiet and just take it in. For me one of these games are elden ring.
