>It's called being a decent human being
Peak irony considering the fact that tipping as a concept was born because greedy american bar/restaurant owners couldn't be decent human beings and pay a fair wage.
You'd have to be an actual moron if you think even a PENNY of those tips is going towards the devs. Publishers will take it all and say devs are grateful for your "donation" and none of it will go towards the game.
Imagine an employee of an establishment giving you the stinky eye because you refused to pay his salary on top of the food you just ate. Complete madness, specially when you have to save money in case you get hospitalized and don't want to die on the hospital bed because you got charged your house and car for the removal of a tumor in your ballsack.
this is a non-issue, there is literally nothing wrong with a voluntary donate option if you just want to give a developer more money. You are a quarter step removed from doing that when you buy a skin lol
Games have skins and purchasable soundtracks already. Buying the game itself is considered a tip. This is one corpo bigwig signaling to other paypigs and bigwigs "hmm, what if tipping as a game mechanic? you know, to show appreciation". and the paypigs wiggle and squeal in unison at the idea that normal people will call them moronic for suggesting it.

I don't even buy steam games from steam if an official keyseller has them. sales tax on digital goods is fricking theft, private corporations control the utility and communication backbone so why should the state government get a cut of something that doesn't use their services?
-$20 for the FULL GAME, ALL OF THE GAME'S CONTENT NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE, NO NONSENSE!
And then below that:
-$100 for the HARDCORE FAN EDITION ($80 Upgrade to hardcore fan edition available, if you decide later on). Same game and everything, you're just expressing how much you appreciate the developer and want to pay them for making a game you really enjoy. Maybe the player gets a golden crown to put on their character, no stats or advantages whatsoever. Just a way to signify in-game that you paid $100.
that's how many indie games actually work and how games in general used to, see collector's editions.
next level is Helltaker with the game itself being totally free and giving you the option to buy said "HARDCORE FAN EDITION" which is just a glorified patreon donation including artwork and a crepe recipe.
Not just that, its entirely possible to get that stuff without paying at all too, I forgot the method but there is a way to do it in game. It really is just there if you want to throw the dev 10 bucks
This is top israeli, if you "tip the developers" of a big video game company like blizzard, that money is not going to the developers, that's more money for the executives
that's tipping in most countries in general and this is exactly why minimum wage is the only way to fix that. tips are a legal and socially accepted way to underpay your staff.
i haven't bought a single video game with my own money, ever. I traded in tf2 up to a few unusuals which i sold and bought a frickton of games (i used the Argentinian exploit before it was fixed) and i pirate games that i find on a whim. Got nearly 200 games that way (i've played like 20 of them max lol)
maybe he realized restaurants pay servers slave wages per hour and only pay them more if their tips don't bump them up to minimum wage levels and now thinks the same should be done with devs
No one ever made any money by demanding everyone pay them money
People make money by incentivizing everyone to pay them.
Gabe Newell stated that Piracy isn't a money problem, it's a service problem. People will pay $60 to not have to worry about viruses in their downloads.
Instead of asking people to tip, give them a discount code for your merch store at the end of a playthrough.

Worked for Microsoft before that. Which game would you tip out of this
Me actually recommending the game instead of talking about how it's shit like 90% of all games IS the tip, stupid. Pay your fricking employees instead of using them to launder money
Tipping culture is the modern day crying indian. Instead of actually paying a decent wage, they guilt people to tip 25% when for decades 15% was the standard.
I only ever visited America as a kiddo/teen before i could really let loose and pay for myself.
I don't think i could stomach visiting it now as an adult, because i would leave trails of butthurt employees everywhere feeling stiffed by my refusal to tip even once. This country of mine has laws to ensure those kinds of people have a decent wage, why should i do their bosses' jobs for them?
>tip your homosexual ass waiter even if he did jack shit for you >tip at the supermakets and their self checkout lanes >tip huge ass video games that cost almost a hundred bucks >all of these gays want a fat tip
wow this is an amazing state of affairs we are in
>he didn't boughted the new mythical >he didn't boughted 100 prism pack to upgrade mythical >he didn't left $30 tip to daddy Blizzard for an amazing game Overwatch 2
what are you, poor?
It’s like going to the movies and clapping at the end, a lot of people are trained to throw their money at the screen. People subscribe to video game players who they think are their friends. It’s all a form of simping that is more out of hand than these onlyfriends addicts who whale loads of money for a chance to talk to some random prostitute.
This is shut up and take my money to the next level.
>$70
Uhh no. AAA games are $60. Period. $70 is $10 too much. Normalizing the extra $10 has been and always will be scumbag bigwigs trying to cash in on inflation.
Second, you need to EARN a tip. You aren't entitled to an extra however many dollars just because someone bought your game. If you seriously want people to give you a tip, the game better be fun as hell, bug-free, and addicting ON RELEASE. If you can't guarantee those things, go frick yourself.
And third, if i ever do end up "tippping" a game, I need some confirmation on exactly where that extra $10 is going. I would rather tip the game testers or coders for THEIR hard work, not the hard work of the dipshit higher-ups. You make MORE than enough pocketing my $60 and using it towards your yachts. That $10 goes to the low-end workers who actually PLAy the game and want to make it better. No ifs, ands, or buts. Unless you have some guarantee that money is going to them, the only tip you're getting is the tip of my wiener when you suck it.
It's called being a decent human being. Try that sometime and maybe, just maybe you'll learn what it's like to enter the world of adulting.

Hello fellow decent human being
Can you please give me some tips by buying our game?
Please buy silver and TFS we REALLY need the money right now
Be a decent human being, purchase Dragon's Dogma and all its DLC.

Americans are morons
That doesn't make any sense, of course it's gonna go to the developer. Whoever OWNS the developer obviously not the employees.
Good bait anon. Seeing morons fall for it that easily reminds me of /misc/
Be a decent human being and blow your brains out.
Hello fellow adulterer
If you feel you deserve more, ask for more. Why is this so hard?
Grim state of affairs when people are taking this shit deadly serious.
I'd tell you to suck my wiener, but I'll have to ask you to brush the shoe polish off your tongue first.
bait post but why don't you tip me $1m usd?
how the frick are people this mad over obvious bait? I wouldn't say you've earned them but enjoy the (you)'s nonetheless.

Just keep the tumor, its a good look.

Developing a tipping culture is bad. Just buy the game twice if you care.
>former employee of failed company has idiotic opinion
Say it ain't so
>tip -70$
>get free game AND put a hole in the dev's paycheck
It's that easy.
Well here's a tip for that guy, completely free too: frick off.
>Refuse to tip
>Dev adds more bugs and glitches in your copy
>working harder to spite customers
Self fulfilling prophecy
they never had a tip to begin with

i deliver food and a boomer co worker flipped out last night and started screaming in the parking lot after getting stiffed lmao
>stiffed
Bro you fricked him up the ass?

Isn't that just what Patreon is?
>Here's your game sir. That'll be $99.99 + tip
>There's An Idiot Born Every Minute
Murican phrase reflecting a worldwide reality
Okay but I'm not gonna tip you for a DEI progressive and inclusive looter shooter
I support this just because it might lead to companies paying their devs even less with the reasoning that they can make up the difference in tips.
>femdevs have to resort to onlyfans to make up their loss wages
kek
>10 years from now buying a new game will be $90 plus tax PLUS tip
Memes become real
I don't even buy steam games from steam if an official keyseller has them. sales tax on digital goods is fricking theft, private corporations control the utility and communication backbone so why should the state government get a cut of something that doesn't use their services?
That’s silly, but on the other hand, I would give $20 directly to the devs of some of my favorite games of all time.
I think indie games should have two prices
-$20 for the FULL GAME, ALL OF THE GAME'S CONTENT NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE, NO NONSENSE!
And then below that:
-$100 for the HARDCORE FAN EDITION ($80 Upgrade to hardcore fan edition available, if you decide later on).

Maybe the player gets a golden crown to put on their character, no stats or advantages whatsoever. Just a way to signify in-game that you paid $100.
Isn't that what soundtracks, digital artbooks and whatever rubbish extras they put on the storepage are for?

Hey Mike Ybarra, I havent been able to find a job for ages. Mind tipping me some of that cush exec salary you're enjoying?
Get fricked butthole.
They just don't want to pay for the devs salary anymore
This is top israeli, if you "tip the developers" of a big video game company like blizzard, that money is not going to the developers, that's more money for the executives
Nintendo would get record profits from this method with all the cultists willing to depart from their money
that's tipping in most countries in general and this is exactly why minimum wage is the only way to fix that. tips are a legal and socially accepted way to underpay your staff.
Minimum wage is not the only solution but I guess it's the easiest one
My country has no minimum wage and you're not expected to tip here
i haven't bought a single video game with my own money, ever. I traded in tf2 up to a few unusuals which i sold and bought a frickton of games (i used the Argentinian exploit before it was fixed) and i pirate games that i find on a whim.

I don't tip at all.
>tipping game devs
but I don't even pay them in the first place
This is already a thing, it's selling a premium version of the game that includes the game, the game's OST, and nothing else.
No one ever made any money by demanding everyone pay them money
People make money by incentivizing everyone to pay them.

Tipping is and always will be a means of the employer to avoid paying real wages. Stop tipping to avoid this anti-employee and anti-consumer practice
The problem is the employees are already pitted against you, and are not going to think about their boss if you don't. You need a policy change.

all of them, chud
>Path of Exile has supporter packs for several hundred $
Paypigs are willing to give fortunes to devs that make games they like already.
>$70 + tip became a real thing
>free game
>no ingame ads or purchases
>good quality
now I'll tip you.
Me actually recommending the game instead of talking about how it's shit like 90% of all games IS the tip, stupid. Pay your fricking employees instead of using them to launder money
Westoid Devs don't deserve the money they get for a full priced game, let alone tips.
I stopped tipping entirely after every cafe and restaurant implemented tips on their POS machines. I'm so sick of it.
It's funny, because Americans originally took up tipping to LARP as upper class Europeans, and now it's a an American thing.
Tipping culture is the modern day crying indian. Instead of actually paying a decent wage, they guilt people to tip 25% when for decades 15% was the standard.
If it's an indie game I like that I bought on sale maybe
>On top of $70 price tag
Lol nvm tipping corporations is insane
>refuse to tip
>game turns on malware
>costing yourself even more money to slightly cool a pizza
nice
I agree with this.
I also propose that tips only be an option on finished games.
When was the last time you tipped when you only got 20% of you meal in early access?
Your move industry.
i just won't buy your games. simple as
I only ever visited America as a kiddo/teen before i could really let loose and pay for myself.
I don't think i could stomach visiting it now as an adult, because i would leave trails of butthurt employees everywhere feeling stiffed by my refusal to tip even once. This country of mine has laws to ensure those kinds of people have a decent wage, why should i do their bosses' jobs for them?
Of course I'll tip the game devs.
I'll tip them until they get tilted and / or crash.

But who are you supposed to tip? Some games have thousands of people working on them.
