$10-20 once, to the whole company, instead of raises when he was still president.
Interesting read. Since he likely knows a lot of these teams, nothing is stopping him emailing them gift cards.
I’m sure they got their year-end bonus of a half-spent $25 starbucks gift card.
Ah yes. In the future you’ll have to pay more than $70, because you need to tip the devs so they can get paid. What’s that? Not happy enough with the game? No pay for the team behind it then. It’s only fair.
Video game landlords have arrived.
Hmm. Maybe a donation to their respective union funds?
“Please pay my employees for me”
Workers should own the businesses they work for.
Sure, tip the company that just canceled a multiple year project and awarded everyone with a layoff
If anything, this fucker is the one that should be giving money to players.
They can’t pay people fairly because they stole all the profits, is what he’s saying out loud.
He could fucking tip his employees instead of laying them off.
Fuck your shareholders. Tipping a fucking mutual fund.
Keep your horrible tipping culture to yourself, please.
Everyone : If you want to give them more how about paying them better while the game is in development? Former Blizzard president : No, not like that.
Id happily pirate many games and tip just the devs
No, he wants to put the responsibility of paying his employees onto the consumer. That’s why restaurants want tipping, so they can pay their employees less and push the cost onto the customers.
Fractal bullshit. Every aspect is both awful on its face and viciously dishonest.
To pick one: no fucking way does that money reach anyone responsible for making the game.
The first time I get a tip option after completing a AAA game is the day I decide to go full Butlerian Jihad.
Now THAT’S a level of retaliation I can get behind.
All out interstellar war, and the eradication of all machines smarter than a light switch.
