I realize that, after all this time, I have never payed for my all-time favorite games I grew up playing (Fallout 3 & Skyrim). I can pay for it, but I really do not want to pay the money to the Bethesda’s marketing team, CEO, and whoever bullshit middle man who wants a cut of that. I want to give directly to the team that made the damn game, the artists, the sound designers, the voice actors, the programmers. If there was a way to do that, i’d be more happily inclined to spend my money on a decade year old game.
Just thinking
Go find some of the member’s personal projects and support them. One of the creature designers recently started a Kickstarter for a comic book
Lots of the original teams for those games have moved on
That’s a great idea. And you get more content!
There should be an app or something for this…
Almost all the github accounts have a “buy me a coffee” button.
What would Pirate Jesus do? Buy them a coffee 🙏
Code comes from Cappuccino, so sayeth the messiah
A programmer is a device for turning caffeine into code (to borrow a math joke).
Search the credits on linkedin and the like, I’m sure you’d be able to find some

True. And this falls squarely on their responsibility. If they set up a Patreon or Kofi something, for example, and make it known, then we can support them directly.
Or they could just publish the information required to do a cash mail / wire transfer. But I don’t know how the fees would work for that with small donations.
This is the one valid use of that “tip screen” what’s his name proposed the other day.
