Former Blizzard exec floats idea for $10-$20 tipping option to reward developers of exceptional games
-
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra suggested players should have the option to tip developers $10-$20 on top of $70 game price for exceptional games.
-
Ybarra felt some single player games like Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption 2 were so good, he wished he could tip the developers more.
-
This would reward developers directly, not just publishers, for making great games without nickel-and-diming players.
-
Many responded that tips would likely go to publishers, not individual developers who often suffer most in large corporations.
-
This comes after Ybarra said players want new content daily and monetization, contrasting with his tip proposal rewarding quality over quantity.
