>Um... you don't have to STEAL em, it's not some kind of obligation,
You either steal assets, pay for them or have a game without graphics.
>it's not like you can't try finding someone that will do the graphics for you
I'm NEET and don't have money to pay anyone. Besides, I've no intentions doing commercial indie project, because I despise C/C++/Java/C#, which are required to do indie stuff for IPhone/Android. Then again, when you work on commercial project you just ain't free, there are predefined goal, deadlines, boss and other crud. No better than working at macdonalds.
>Really, how can you be this much of an ass?
Well, besides a drake, I also need various other stuff, like trees or statues or UI icons. And most authors don't answer or refuse to give permission.
