Go up one level in this thread

I think that the main motivators are (order may differ for each person) money,
competition (to be the best), fame and just because it is a challenge (like
climbing a mountain).

There is some money to be made, but not for very many, that is a shame.  I for
one hope we can retain our current talented programmers and encourage/develop
the next generation of programmers.

I am a fan of the free programs, but I wonder what effect they have on reducing
the monitary incentive to stay in this field (we accept that our GM's get paid,
I wonder if we also accept that our programmers should get paid?).

Just my 2 cents.
