I don't really buy that argument when:
A. So many great artists are floundering for work & pay.
B. So many great modders (read: programmers) work for fun rather than profit.
C. So many artists and modders go into the video game industry professionally off the backs of free modding projects such as those that I've mentioned.
D. What constitutes and qualifies as "better" is purely subjective.
Think I'll bow out of this thread at this point.
