Client Paywall/Runelite Sideloader Should Be Free (Mind Changed)

[Blunkie]

DELETED OPINION CHANGED LOL

UPDATE:
Learned alot programming and client is so much work i understand now why and i think yes we are lucky to have OpenOSRS and im glad we did but after all that free work i do feel like devs do deserve some kickback. My belief system changed so so so much i just seen so many people put blood sweat and tears into this stuff and learned its not always so easy. OPRS was very generous for giving us it as long as we had it too. It has been 2 years and i just see things alot differently each provider has their own unique sauce and i like to see it and its like i eat applepie but sometimes i wanna go buy blueberry so much flavour and it is cool to see. In the time period above i was brain warped ngl lol.


Thread was brought back but like ya honestly client is hard work i was just brainless freak alot of hard work goes into everything i now know this id delete this because my beliefs changed and i grew as did my beliefs after all the blood sweat and tears i see people put into things.

I'm surprised there isn't a free Runelite client with a sideloader where you can just drag plugins in etc. I sub monthly etc and don't mind paying for plugins at all. I just feel like even though client is harder work the paywall kills it in a way where we would have a lot more plugins and devs if there was not a paywall. No one speaks out about it but they used to in the pre OpenOSRS days with Vswitcher. I just feel like the paywall on the clients are holding the community back and like the prices would be the same if the client was free so i just don't understand it? I thought about that today. I paid the same prices i paid when OpenOSRS was free. The whole pay thing is just like a big old wall. Right now i just learned how to make very basic example plugins and have a long way to go but my end goal is to try to learn client work etc and maintaining a rev update weekly if things are still this weird with a basic client. I remember OpenOSRS saved the day before and we were really in a golden era and i met a lot of amazing people. The paywall stops the flow and makes it harder to learn this kinds of stuff too. I see people so desprate for a free client too they get screwed. I know some people may disagree and some people may agree but i feel like people are thinking it but not saying it.

Go ahead and release one.

if i had the knowledge i would release one and i am working toward that because clients are just in the worst place for users and new devs im trying to learn etc and people are closing their apis etc sucks but money does make the world spin lol.
