Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 And by "truly fantastic", I mean so goddamned bloody stupid that I'm actually embarrassed for the man that it actually crossed whatever the hell he has that passes for his brain: Quote I've thought about this idea for a while, as a player, since I've been diving into single player games lately. When I beat a game, there are some that just leave me in awe of how amazing the experience was. At the end of the game, I've often thought "I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn't try to nickel and dime me every second". Games like HZD, GoW, RDR2, BG3, Elden Ring, etc. I know $70 is already a lot, but it's an option at the end of the game I wish I had at times. Some games are that special. I know most will dislike this idea. BTW, I realize we are tired of "tipping" in everything else - but I view this different from a pressure to tip type scenario many face and give feedback on. Yeah, Mike - I have zero doubt that you have thought about it for a while in the context of "What's a potential way that the actual salaries that developers are paid could be reduced? Hmmmm...oh wait - what do they do in the restaurant service industry again?" Now, I could see this being a way to throw a little extra support to small independent teams who self-publish relatively "minor" indie titles, but if you think for a minute that I'm gonna "tip" for AAA/AAAA titles, then I've got several bridges around the world that I'd like to sell ya! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Yea I only support this "idea" for much smaller devs. I have had this thought in my head though when beating amazing games ngl. But I'm an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing for a player to have this idea, but when it comes from someone at the executive level, it only really has one objective: reduction of actual compensation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The value the developer gets from making a great game, is I'm significantly more likely to buy the next one (or perhaps even DLC). AND, I recommend the current one to friends, so it sells more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 Ybarra was duly ridiculed by developers for this preposterous idea because they knew damned well what it implies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
