Damn! TBH I've seen this happen in other professions too. Let's take a neurosurgeon for example, they don't come cheap and people consider their work serious and pays them as much as they demand and rightfully so.

What people don't understand is that how complex software engineering can get, in fact, this has to be one of the complex fields out there. You build bridge once and you're done, people have been doing it for centuries using laws of physics and what not. But software engineering, puff, you can't even write the same code as the other developer.

Art commission people have it the worst. People goes as far as attempted theft of the work.

Yes! That's really sad. P.S, visited your profile, you got some complex stuff going on. You play AOE 2?

I played AOE2 on voobly, but not much anymore. The meta evolved as it gained traction into something I don't find enjoyable anymore. Thank you for checking my profile out. I am working on a lot of complicated things right now. Currently I am developing in NodeJS using the TwitchAPI for an overlay control panel.

Great to hear! Spent my childhood playing AOE2 and I guess that's true for all AOE fans, never online though. Thank you. :)
