Well, it's just that I feel that artists deserve more than what they're getting. Whether it be fan-game, professional or even unrelated things like movies, theatre, etc. Being good friends with many artists on deviantART who do this sort of thing for a living, it's really disheartening to see such great talent wasted on scummy producers and directors who let them take advantage of their work; only with the expectation that they'll be treated with "exposure" which won't even amount to anything, in the long run. And there are even some producers and directors who are proud of it, which I find disgraceful. It's not fair to the artists, and I can't help but be vocal about this sort of thing, given how horribly they are treated. I was actually talking with several of my dA friends and even my artist about it, and I'm going to quote what they said in this screenshot:

i genuinely feel bad for any artist exploited for so-called "exposure"

i mean there may be some people who genuinely can give people exposure but even then the artist should be paid for it

I'd like to address this Note on dA that I got last week about an essay that I wrote on the topic of this particular subject from my friend who read it. Same person from above:
