Agreed². Some people are short sighted IN GENERAL. And everyone is, sometimes. But that's IN GENERAL. And actually not always. Also, if it costs 5 dollars, and let's say 10 thousand people bought the map, just think. Will they take 50 000$ for themselves ? Sure not. Blizzard takes probably a % of the pay. And probably a huge one.
If you are going to sell your maps, will you think about what I wrote ? (The % thing) Actually many will not. They will just say: "Ahh.. If I sell it, hmm, let's say 1$, and a lot lot lot of people buy it, I will become rich..Like 100 000$ Just for me.." WRONG. That's wrong. What should be reasonable:
"Hmm. If I sell my map 1$ and 1 thousand people buys it. It will make 1 000 dollars. Blizzard will take some percentage, let's say 40%, (although probably more) which will make..400$ for Blizzard, so 600$ for me. Let's keep up the website and forum alive, and pay 200$-300$.Let's say its per month: So that makes 300$ profit per month?" Sure it will be higher, but that's if the map isn't famous and great. So yes, Blizzard will probably take percentage of the paid amount.It's all anyways an offer to encourage mapmakers..
That's probably the most accurate you can get on my thoughts.
