As I sit here, it Kind of makes me wonder. I wonder if any developers actually work for Envato who submits their own items and approve them. Then reject anyone else’s similar projects just so as not to be a competitor.
I wonder if having a publisher on the payroll is a conflict of interest. I am going to ask my lawyer about this just out of curiosity. Seems like a reasonable concern even though I really don’t know if any publishers are actually employed by them. But makes one think.
