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

What are your ideas on how this could actually be implemented?

    So… you want to push game development into something like what happens with the servers at restaurants and whatnot? Essentially create a scenario where the developers are payed even less by the game studio because “they can get good money from tips”?

    Are you aware that this is exactly what’s going to happen if people push for what you’re saying?
