Absolutely shameless.

probably, like serving staff at restaraunts the ultimate business model.If they open the door for tipping it gives them an excuse to not to pay them well and reduce their salary, and all the while, still charge the same for games. It's all about keeping more money in the company's pockets.
You think any of the income from deluxe editions goes to the rank and file devs?I think there is already a way to tip devs. There are some games on Steam etc where you can buy deluxe edition upgrades with soundtracks, books, ringtones and assorted fluff. Those are essentially a way to tip devs.
in that sense......... if there was a "tip X amount here" next to the buy button........ would we be confident it would go to the poorest paid of the devs either? or would it be massively loaded to the senior staff/management?You think any of the income from deluxe editions goes to the rank and file devs?
Jesus .
Blizzard is the one of the worst game companies out there, milking game addicts for years with subscriptions, reeally, they are a worse PoS than EA or Ubisoft imho. They have contributed very little to good games imho, yes they have contributed to games like DOTA2 or LoL via W3, and to many MMO's, but I feel their contribution has been negative overall...
Diablo 3 is a perfect example, how can the most perfect version of your game be on an inferior platform emulated on pc (Diablo 3 on switch emulator) ? They are taking the **** with their always online DRM ****.
They also keep prices of old games way too high.
Blizzard is single handedly responsible for ruining so many lives as well, without the players knowing it. Creating whole armies of regular people with the social skills of autistic people... I guess only Casino game makers are worse, but I personally boycotted Blizzard and have not spent a single penny on those ******** even though I own over 1000+ games legitimally. The MMO principle to have a monthly subcription to play your game simply did never click with me and I will keep opposing it.
I understand the attraction of an MMORPG's, I've faffed about with other MMO's around puberty, but I feel they actually contibuted more negatively to game addiction with pointless grind than any other publisher and general decrease of life quality of players rather than actually living your life IRL.
i wonder if any game devs post on these forums? i would be interested to hear their take on it - and under the proviso that no one gives them any crap for responding
That's a no from me dawg. Studios should pay their staff appropriately, not rely on tips to make up the numbers (which is what would happen).
