i suggest this new textures fee as a way to encourage smaller textures and less alpha textures , allowing a better expreience (maybe a better framerate) for everybody and less space used on the asset server. and providing a scalable money sink

without alphas:
--------------------
256x256 and below : 5L$
512x512 : 10L$
over 512x512 : 20L$

with alphas:
--------------------
256x256 and below : 10L$
512x512 : 20L$
over 512x512 : 40L$

here is a sample idea of how the upload texture window could be changed to reflect it:

allowing peoples to resize the pcitures from the client before uploading would encourage to more size optimised textures

Seems like a good idea to me. I can't think of anything against this.
