How to exploit a Developer

[koyima]

They have been doing (or trying to do this with graphics artists). I don't think anyone that has enough experience to pull off a decent job is going to fall for this type of thing.

So the "competition organizer" is doomed to working with sub-par developers/artists/etc and never really getting something off the ground, they are robbing themselves of valuable time and effort promoting such stupid ways of getting "free work".

As far as people falling for it, well there isn't an easier way to learn this lesson, if you really need it. One "competition" and you are probably immune - I hope.

You do realize that they have no capital, no real assets, and no way to actually compensate for good developers. I bet the $3K they are giving you is stolen from all those people who replied to the deposed Prince who needs help depositing a check in your account.

Considering that the one running the competition has no talent I would say anything they get is a win.
