I saw that as a donation for hours in cRPG
Rofl, dude, why didn't you use
this stuff for donations then?
This is the thing i'll never comprehend - how on earth
buyng a game (which imo was and still is obviously a raw and unfinished product, but that's a different story) can be considered as
donation, especially when there was and still is a special page on a website, where you can
donate your money freely directly to chadz & co? Fuck logic, lol
Just like when you buy a book from the store, you're not
donating much to its author, you're just
buying a thing. You're paying for production expences mostly, like cost of paper, cost of ink, cost of printing the thing, cost of magazine workers salaries and so on, plus margin for both publishers and sellers obviously. In such model the author gets like 5% from each selled book
in very best case (at least here in Russia, and beleive me I know what I am talking about). Yes, my example was about book publishing business, but I don't think that game publishing business is so much different. You're a grown man, and you can't be so much isolated from the world not to know such basics of how economics works. The most part of money you guys "donated" went to GMG and Valve, not to Donkeys, that's simple.
