Tipping exceptional games should be the norm. Nothing wrong with this. Why are fat, loser gamers getting upset over this?
we already have multiple threads up about this you fricking homosexual
Today I WILL remind you
eh, CDPR is okay in my book
their expansions are always good and, in themselves, are better than some full games which release for $70
Just because you are used to eating off the floor does not make a plate and fork valuable. The expansions are mid at best because the Hearts of Stone is just a thinly veiled romantic novel made to bait females and Blood and Wine is just a findom simulator for cucks with a bunch of very unsatisfying endings
Almost a decade after release lmao. No one cares about the game now and CDPR knows that which is why they released the red kit 2 to begin with. Look at fricking nexus mods for example and compare the last week of mods to the mods that came out even 2 years ago. I modded the game myself and talked to a bunch of mod authors and I can assure you the modding scene is dead. At best we will receive a few half assed mods yet modders could already create place holder tier quests before hence nothing changes aside from accessibility to both the modding tools and the games systems which do not matter because no one is interested in making mods. The red kit 2 will get attention for a week then die
But yeah I will probably shit out a few mods to remove israeli propaganda from the game and get banned on nexus lmao
Anon??

Did you seriously post that unironically on the day your image becomes outdated?
>small cosmetic reward for tipping
Now we are back to microtransactions again. They should get a union if they are so underpaid.
He can suck the tip of my fat Black person wiener, just like you and every other homosexual leftist does when you see my skin color
I don't see how this is controversial?
What's wrong with allowing other people to spend their money how they want?
Fricking commies
>Tipping a disgusting wagie 15%
I don't.
>Tipping low IQ delivery driver
I don't.
>Tipping devs
I won't.
Because it goes from being voluntary to absolutely mandatory.
>I-it's just a nice thing to do! Just this once
>Okay, so you should just tip more often
>Why haven't you tipped?
>I'm going to cancel you/restrict you/deny you because you didn't tip
Don't enable this bullshit.
we haven't seen any exceptional games since the 360 though. modern games aren't even worth the full asking price now let alone some homosexual tipping system.
>Tipping devs
Ah, you see, that right here is the problem. The devs wouldn't see a single cent of your tip.
If I could punch this guy in the face without facing any jail time, I would.
By and large people don't really support those tipping practices either, it's what the japanese refer to as shikata ga nai.
American culture is dumb as frick.
Tipping?
>*tipps fedora*
*inserts the tip*
The only time I've seen (or done) this (give money for no content) is when it's a free game and the dev let's you tip them or buy some dlc that has no content or maybe an in game thank you from an npc. Why would anyone tip for a full price game when you know for a fact the devs probably aren't going to get any of it.
I've bought games I liked after playing a cracked version. Just for the auto updates and supporting devs in a way, easy of modding too. I see that as a tip.
How do you know a game will be "special" ? Will they add the tipping dlc after ?
here's a tip: stop putting homosexual shit (all of it) into my games
>>high quality, memorable games like Elden Ring, RDR2, GoW, BG3
>He's not wrong you know
He's not wrong, i always buy a 30-60 dollar skin in the gacha i play if i like the story or gameplay in that particular event. It's just that i never do that with western games because they're shite.
Sure, if you charge me 10 or 20$ less and I can decide if you earned it afterward instead of before.
Otherwise it's as invalid as tipping in literally any other context.
Except that money wouldnt go to the devs but straight in the shareholders pocket.
Years ago I envision big corp would make a device that just reaches into your back account and takes 50 bucks whenever they felt like it. We are approaching that point fast.
Go woke, go desperate
schizo
I haven't been to restaurant in over 5 years
Don't a lot of indie games already do this sort of thing?
Grim Dawn devs did this by offering some cheap cosmetic DLC and some people were happy to "tip" them.
I though the $70 price increase and the ultimate editions were already tips?
last time I gave anyone a tip it was $5 because they literally sucked my dick.
why are they using CDPR game if some blizzcuck is saying it?
Are you implying that the Blizzard devs like their own games?
If I absolutely loved the game, and they proved themselves to care deeply about it, wish to support it, and leave stupid woke/leftie bullshit politics out of it, then I'd toss them a $20 tip in the form of some BS DLC.
>tipping for shit service
name more american thing
>I'll happily tip the waiter
>I'll happily tip the delivery guy
>I'll happily tip the barber
>I'll happily tip the street musician
>NOOOOOOOO HOW DARE GAME DEVS ASK FOR TIPS
>I'll happily tip the waiter
no
>I'll happily tip the delivery guy
no
>I'll happily tip the barber
no
>I'll happily tip the street musician
no
tipping should be reserved for exceptional service only. it should never be the default.
Tipping shouldn't be a thing.
Yuro moment.
Imagine being an American.
I visiting burgerland a few years ago and never left a tip anywhere I went.
I see tipping as an implied threat.
"If you don't tip, I'll spit in your food."
"If you don't tip, I'll accidently drop your package."
If you are a lone entrepreneur, I will pay you, if you are a tradesmen, I will pay you.
But if you have a job, then your fricking boss should pay you, I will not foot the bill for his tax frickery
Just sell merch or have some microtransactions. Paying money for literally nothing is just insulting.
>Give company free money AND market data
Disgusting
if they want tips then we need to lower their wages first
>If you enjoy it and spend a lot of time in it then pay us more
>but we won't give you a partial refund if you don't
At least formulate your bait in a more believable way you stupid Black person.
You were a homosexual two hours ago and you're a homosexual now.
He is wrong. Eat a dick.
>former
His "tip" was selling boosting services in an MMO, he doesn't deserve to talk.
You are sitting there calling people names and assuming you are a better person than others for your willingness to toss money over guilt.
You are everything wrong with western society
No, no, he is right. We should add tipping everywhere so people will realize how ridiculous that is and just stop tipping at all. Escalate to de-escalate.
Ok, Imms give you a tip, what Imma do is imma flop my BBC out on the table when your mom fricking invites me over for dinner. You're going to see a big piece of beef on the motherfricking table. I-Imma tell you to go in the kitchen and give me all the motherfricking seasonings you got. I need you to get the garlic salt, I need you to get the motherfricking seasoning salts while my BBC just sits there on the table and you just see it pulsating like moving liver, that's been taken out of a motherfricking cow. And you're just gonna stare at it and Imma be like KEEP SEASONING, stare at you, KEEP SEASONING MOTHERFRICKER you gonna be keep seasoning my meat, over and over again. Keep seasoning it homie. And imma pull out my motherfricking god damn flop my BBC on the table its gonna go *squelching noises* like a slime noise cause its just covered in saute. And imma take that BBC, walk straight to your mom's mouth and stare at you. Poke it in her motherfricking grill and she be like "OHH". Imma be like "Now suck it infront of your son". And shes gonna be like *sucking noises* "I'm sorry, I just can't help it, its so flavourful". That's gonna be the tip I give her when I give her this flavoured BBC of seasoning salts.
>Americans tip their video games
>blizzard says give us more money goyim
>OP wants to suck them off
No
Only if that money goes straight to the coders and artists.
>tipping DEVS
>DEVS
you know FOR A FRICKING FACT that won't happen, 99% of your tip will go to the c**t publishers who at best didn't interfere with development, and at worst forced the devs to include the worst aspects of the game
If you don't tip at least 125% of the bill your just being cheap dude
Have you heard of buying merchandise? You dumb frick
Imagine living in third world shithole where you are expected to give tips
Imagine being so poor that the mere idea of tipping offends you.
It's not a matter of "being poor", tipping is bullshit, a relic of slavery. It should be abolished entirely.
It's not offending me, even we Europeans tip, I tip in restaurants when the cute waitress is fast and nice, I tip when a service done by a person is exceptionally good.
I am not going to fricking tip a corporation, or a game dev after buying some code they wrote and endlessly lets it to be copied around the world. What the frick am I supposed to tip for? Their cute, progressive twitter posts there are "omg so relatable".
Americans are so autistic they don't even understand the definition of tipping anymore. They just tip and expect tips.
This.
Tipping should be for people that go above and beyond. Not for people that just do what they are expected to do.
We are already paying wages to these people by buying their food/products. I am not going to tip a cashier on a take-out order that only handed me my receipt.
Even Kiosks where there are no cashiers now ask for tips. Why would i tip employees that i know nothing about their quality of work? They could be goofing off in the back or dropped my food on floor for all i know.
>being so poor you expect tips
Get a better job. Not my problem.
the only time I felt like a game was under-priced and deserved more for what it delivered was Galleria. I bought the collectors edition twice on a import and the English release.
OK but we get 15% of the cost back if it sucks ass.
>Stupid Deadbeat living on somebody elses money, like he is Chrischan, trying to criticize and tell anybody what they deserve
yeah, nice thread you have here.
The game should show me the devs' dox information instead.
That's a much better idea.
>mfw
This is already a thing for some indie games.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/986090/Battle_Brothers__Support_the_Developers__Kraken_Banner/
They throw in a banner as a thank you but they make it clear this is only there because of the "many people expressing their desire to support us even beyond the asking price".
Great game btw. Check it out if you haven't already.
>for the devs
lmaaaaao Bobby is devilish
I would never tip because I don't know where that money is actually going.
At a restaurant I know who is getting tipped.
At a games company, some random troony could potentially get a part of my tip. I will NOT allow that.
Did you know there are actually two different minimum wages, and one is for tipped employees, like waiters? Did you know that if waiters don't get tips they literally cannot make rent?
You know any programmers who have trouble making rent?
>You know any programmers who have trouble making rent?
Literally every single one of them?
>Tip the developers in-game
>It goes to the publishers company account
>It goes from the company account to the CEOs current account
>It goes from the CEOs current account to their tax haven account
>The development studio has a round of firings as cost-cutting measure to save the publisher extra money
Oh boy! It's nice to let the developers know they're valued
I think tipping is dumb and we should stop doing it
This idea would actually be beneficial under 3 circumstances.
1. It isn't mandatory
2. It actually goes to the devs
3. Companies don't lower dev pay in hopes consumers pick up the tab.
I think it would incentivize devs to make games as good as possible in hopes that enough people would appreciate your effort that you would continue getting royalties(tips) long after game was finished.
Tipping would be a way for consumers to reward good design and punish bad choices (microtransactions, forced ESG, politics).
They would need to cap a tip at $20 per account/user/cardholder/etc... so you don't have one big political whale tipping $500,000 for a game like Suicide Squad because he likes the lgbt messaging.
If I really enjoy an indie game, I’ll "tip" by buying whatever extra bullshit they have available, or grab a gift copy for a friend.
Why the FRICK would you ever tip a company-made game? The devs won’t see a penny of it and you know it. Yeah, let me shore up the quarterly earnings by 0.0001%, that sounds great.
You buy the collector's edition, DLC and maybe even multiple versions if you have multiple systems.
Like the actual devs would see any of it. The money would go straight into the greedy c**t CEO’s pocket.
