    Fantastic. I think I should tipped every time I log in on multiplayer games. I’m providing a service to other players.

    How about reducing the stratospheric executive pay and giving it to the devs instead

    You can already “tip” aspiring developers, it’s called kickstarter, or just buying their games.

    If by developer they mean employee of a game studio, that’s called a salary and it’s the job of the studio to pay. If they mean studio as developer then. Just a second let me get my reply just right. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha no.

      Sorry, the metacritic only hit 89, we will not be awarding you the 10 million dollar pool of tips the game has collected.

      If the game made more money than expected, then fucking hand out some bonuses.

      “Tips” are just going to be an excuse to reduce base pay below a living wage./Pay a microtransaction where you get nothing.

    if there was a “tip” option where 100% of the money went to the employees at the game developer, and not the company, then maybe.

    But no, this will just be used to boost profits.
