I suspect his early life part will be redacted on wikipedia.
Blizzard fans loved him
Blizzard fans have one of the lowest standards amongst the gaming populos.They unironically praised Mike YWNBAWarra for boosting people on stream, shit eating tribe.
Would be nice, I had to buy Terraria 7 times to feel like I was giving a good enough tip to Redigit.
I'd rather tip my landlord
>tipping
do americans really?
Half of Americans give a tip right when they're born
oy vey
shalom
now I get it
you cheeky motherfricker
It's not funny, it's why we're here on this board right now
They cannot suppress us with the video games, they accidentally prepared us as witchers and WW2 vets
One day the truth will come
Half? It's like 80%
Women don't have a penis my man
>Bl*zzard asking for Tips
Don't they make enough money selling their obscenely overpriced DLC? Why should we give them extra money for literally nothing?
wrong questions, homosexual. why are you playing Blizzard games
The last Blizzard game I bought was D3, and I refused to buy from them from that day forward. The last Blizzard game I played was OW1 because a friend bought it for me. I haven't touched Blizzard anything since, I just mock them from the news feed.
>I bought D3
I will pretend I didn't read that, homosexual.
>I bought was D3
lmao
you actually paid money for diablo 3 despite all of the fricking signs being there
how are people this goddamned stupid.
at least you learned i guess
The only sign I was worried about was the one sign that ultimately was confirmed to be the core problem: Always-Online Singleplayer. I trusted in Blizzard because of SC2 and WoW not having disastrously shit servers, but apparently that trust was misplaced and I refuse to ever financially entertain a Blizzard IP again.
>was confirmed
as if it needs confirmation
Americans get more of a dopamine hit from buying a product than playing it, they're bred and raised to be mindless consumer golems from birth.
No game is that special.
Some games truly are that good, but I've yet to play AAA-slop that didn't make me feel like I paid too much after I reached the end.
Well priced Indie passion projects that keep getting additions years down the line that keep bringing me back though? Would not mind giving some of those some more money, Beam.NG being one good example of such a project
>Pay for game (this does not apply to pirates)
>Enjoy and finish game
That's it, the transaction is finished
No more exchanges of money should occur after this point (DLC is unethical)
There can be justifications for post-release DLC if it's actually developed post-release. The only completely unjustifiable DLC is anything sold day 1 or assets that already exist in the game being shuffled around for a price tag (things like making enemy weapons/armor into DLC without changing anything).
a gratuity (optional tip) could be very good for developers if it went straight to the actual devs and didn't have to go through greedy publishers or storefronts
consider this: it would incentivize making a game worth tipping for (after you finish it)
successful sales already incentive to making a game that people want to buy in the first place. are you suggesting that people should be buying trash games without even thinking about it, and then giving even more money if the games turn out to not be trash?
the publisher make most of that and steam/sony/ms get a good chunk as well
if you could tip the dev directly it could vastly change the way they approach production because there would be incentive to focus on quality rather than every game being a hard deadline to beat
the publisher monopoly is still the biggest problem but a tip (again, optional) could do good for devs
>former turbo israelite wants more money
This is like wanting to put tips on fricking self-service machines. What a fricking joke. Americans are a plague that infects the rest of the world with gay ass garbage like this.
who received the tip?
The co-director?
The director?
The Programming Director?
The Gameplay Directors?
The Battle Director?
The Level Design Director?
The lead programmer?
The Game Programmers?
The Gameplay Designers?
awful lot of people for sharing $20
>who received the tip?
the ~~*publisher*~~
so the one who literally did nothing for the enjoyment of the game...
>tipper exclusive ending DLC, only for $20 tippers
>finish really special game
>it asks for a tip
>simply do not tip
Wow so hard.
Imagine having to ask for a tip, kys poorgay
ITT: pure obsession.
hey MIKE YBARRA I insert just the tip of my penis inside you
America is a cancer and a blight
>Ganker memed "plus tip" into reality
i hate you all
I do this unironically. But only indie self published. The tip takes the form of buying a second copy and gifting it to someone.
I would be even somewhat ok with this, but only if I get to choose who gets the tip.
Actual developers, even those who aren't working in the studio anymore? Ehh.. ok.
Execs? Big tipping jar that goes in the quarterly profits just to please the gods of shareholding? Lol, no.
We already have tip feature and it's called buying soundtracks.
If the $70+tip meme becomes real, I am fully embracing piracy and never giving money to this assfricked industry ever again.
America needs to be nuked.
>muh industry
Just stop buying AAA western games. How many fricking times does this need to be repeated?
My most recent AAA purchase is Metro Exodus, idk if I am the right person to say this to anon.
I only buy games that I find to be really great and pirate the rest even now.
Ok tips for good games and partial refunds for bad games.
>"Some games are that special"
not acti-blizz games, that's for damn sure.
>Get the final boss to 2% hp
>All of a sudden screen freezes
>A pop up with your credit card details pre-populated appears across the screen
>If you enjoyed our game consider tipping the hardworking developers*
>Huge options saying $10, $20, $40
>Tiny obscure area says no tip
GOD BLESS AMERICA
How the frick would that even work? Assuming the publisher doesn't pocket the money like the greedy fricks they are, these games have hundreds of people working on them so the developers would only get a few cents at most from a $20 tip.
Well...
Some people are dumb enough to donate money to streamers, Twitch bawds and emulator devs, so it's no wonder that someone said
>Oi, little boi. Tip yo money to game devs!
I pirate everything and drop 95% of it within an hour because it's trash. If I feel a game is "that special", basically good enough that I genuinely enjoy it and actually finish it, I reward the developer by purchasing the game.
Tip culture is cancer in general. It's not my fault your employer doesn't pay you a fair wage. I've even seen drive throughs asking for tips.
Me buying a game instead of pirating it is the tip
You people keep forgetting that some games are outsourced or that people who worked on the game got fired after the game was done (because they were hired for this one specific game only), so would get the tip?
the ((publisher*~~
>finish your job
>boss comes and gives you a tip from a customer months after youve been paid for said job
Lmao can you imagine getting tipped for your coding jobs lads ?
>what are bonuses
no, man I can't even imagine that.
>$100 deluxe edition + season pass + microtransactions + tip
If I were to even consider tipping (I'm not) it would go to the DEVELOPERS and not the fricking publisher.
Ironic this is mentioned while the quality of AAA games has been declining rapidly.
>no one is currently able to tip devs and publishers
>game quality is bad
Think, anon. Could there be a connection?
What a great idea!
Lets have Mike Ybarra and other CEOs start first.
I mean, some games are that special to deserve a small paycut to the millions you make per year.
>Tip 10 bucks
>Animators, programmers, artists, musicians will get NOTHING of those 10 bucks, only the fat suit at the top.
Literally just create great merchandise if you want more money. It's not difficult.
Cyberpunk 2077? I loved the game. All the merch was terrible.
Nobody will actually do this, the only reason people do it with food is because social pressure when interacting face to face with the server/delivery man.
Nobody is going to be personally offended if you dont tip on an online purchase so there'd be no real shame culture for not tipping like with food in the US.
Also if this ever became a thing it's not like the money would be going to the devs anyway its going to get pocketed by some executive.
it's strange how greedy money worshipper americans love tipping, israelites dont have culture
If I could know it would go to the actual devs, QA, etc. that Blizzard went and fired as soon as the game was ready to ship, I might be cool with that. If even a single dime is going to Ybarra, it better be coated in contact poison.
americans are getting out of control

Worked for Microsoft before that. Which game would you tip out of this
Tipping a dev is only okay if the game is made by 1 dev and all that money goes to him.
If it's a recorded transaction it's not a real tip. I would love to give a gamedev an extra $60 for sexo.
I wouldn't mind this if it's a self published game. As soon as a publisher is involved it's going to be used to frick consumers and devs.
I have the exact same idea, but hear me out, all games are free, and when you find a game that is THAT special then you pay for it, literally the exact same thing, let's do it bros.
I used to be a very big tipper but not in a cringe attention or simp way. I'd do it discreetly and timo men just as much as women. Some guys go out of their way to hand the money directly to the waiter etc. Anyway seeing servers complain online so much and even having a bartender at a concert venue say no tip? to me because I didn't put money in a bucket after he gave me a beer can and after I had already loaded the bucket up my previous drinks im just soured on the whole thing. Plus just the bad service just can't justify. I'm now full Black person mode. No tipping. N9 repeat business.
