“I’ve often thought ‘I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn’t try to nickel and dime me every second,’”

You know what, I could agree with that opinion if the irony wasn't lost to folks

No. One. Would tip for a blizzard game.

  1. Blizzard DOES nickel and dime you at every second. Literally.

  2. Blizzard has not produced a good game since Overwatch 2.

  3. Blizzard made 8.71 Billion in 2023. They can afford to pay their developers without relying on public donations.

I don't think he's saying to tip for a Blizzard game. He's not at Blizzard anymore (probably still has stock though).

I basically agree, I mean, I'd tip for a game I really like. Actually I do, indirectly. I buy other things from companies like FromSoft. I would go further than you and admit I agree with him despite the irony.

Sure, put it out for free and I'll donate the same as I do for any open source software I use.

Blizzard is such a disgusting company nowdays. They don't even try to hide it.

I think all CEO's should create some sort of tip platform.

They do so much single handedly for the company, most companies could simply not exist or have any direction without them and their leadership.

And to make things worse they aren't appreciated and are hardly compensated.

Imagine having to go to lunches at fancy golf courses, trips with your peers to exotic locations, all for a measly few hundred million per year?

CEO's are almost being mistreated and borderline persecuted infront of us, and all they want is to be treated and compensated fairly like the average worker with 3 jobs.

Maybe if we all come together and show them that we care , and more importantly, send them as much of our money as we can, then they will feel better about their terrible circumstances.
