His mStake was in thinking he could make money selling high-ticket items to the Blender community lmao.
Anyone who's spent more than 3 minutes in the 3d world knows that the overlap between those who choose to use Blender and those who'd pay that much for assets is barely significant.
But assuming it's a substantial number of people, those among them who'd actually buy something like that instead of having someone on salary to make it custom, will be an even smaller number.
And among those few people, he expects there to be an overlap with the people who'd need that specific rig, which would then have to overlap with the people who know about him or his store (either from previously knowing about them, or by finding out about them over time).
Needless to say this isn't going to happen.

Also, he doesn't understand that you don't get magically paid based on how much work you put into something (like in a videogame), but based on how much money you can convince people to pay you.
I can spend 50 years building something that nobody wants, and make it the highest quality creation ever made, but I'd be retarded to whine about how I'm not getting money when it's obvious that there's nobody willing to exchange it for my work.

TL;DR: This is an adult who has the understanding of how money works of a child.
