Where to Follow Kas

I'm not leaving, but since invariably some will I am pragmatic!

I will continue to post sketches and everything between FA and W, but usually am too lazy to update the others with anything other then finished.
As for the sale to IMVU
It's disappointing that this happened and then we found out much later. This is unacceptable considering previous comments assuring transparency. That already makes motives suspect. I'd have been much better placated by announcing the intention beforehand. FA has always been privately owned, but this sort of behavior to me suggests disregard for the general population of the user base.
Companies take advantage of small time owners all the time, promising they will not change anything, then a couple months later everything's different. Look at what happened to Blizzard after Activision bought them.
However, at the very least I'm glad it's out of hands proven incapable. Companies motivated by profit are at least predictable and consistent. We'll have to take a risk with the devil we don't know, knowing that we can pull ourselves, our content, and our patronage out at any time.
