I was just thinking today how I've viewed these sites in the past where individuals or small businesses sell 3D objects such as buildings, automobiles, planes, whatever in formats like 3D Studio for hundreds of dollars. The idea is you get to buy the rights to use it for whatever you want.
Normally I use to wonder how they made any money with in-house designers but with the next generation of games requiring more money and manpower to create, anyone think this field might start becoming more lucrative? It can potentially be cheaper to buy models than it is to hire another employee and give them benefits...

It would be difficult, unreliable, and definitely more expensive. Sure, EA employees get benefits... the benefit of working until they drop. You can't expect the same level of commitment from someone who isn't under your thumb.

It might be cheaper in some cases, but you would have problems keeping the look/style of the game consistant.
For example, a game that used mixed microsoft clipart and Poser quality 3d models would probably not sell at all.
