TrueSpace worth it?

by Nathan Kent · in Artist Corner · 09/24/2008 (8:46 pm) · 3 replies

I am perfectly content with Blender, but with the announcement of TrueSpace being free, I was wondering it would be better for me to switch to that. The only problem I have is this: they want what I consider to be way to much personal information for a free program.

If TrueSpace cost, than I would be more willing to give them information like my address, but it's not. So here's my question: Is TrueSpace good enough that it would be worth giving away all that personal information?

Thanks in advance!

SideThought -> Yeah, I know that giving out my phone number, address, and real name isn't that big of a deal, but do they really need it for a free program?

I say that if you are happy with Blender, stick with it. All that personal information just isn't worth it, especially if you know how to use something like Blender.

You mean some people actually enter real details when sites ask for these? Scary... ;)

Personally I go with the contact details of old "foes", annoying call centers and cold callers.

If you're worried about giving out your information, don't use TS. I also would recommend not having a cell phone, GPS, any sort of billing service (water/gas/electric/phone/banking) or using the internet. Or being where there are people who have those things.
