    Your tip is “make another game and I’ll buy it because the last one was good”.

    I bought your product and you want me to pay extra because it lived up to what it promised?

    You want me to pay someone more for simply doing their job? If you aren’t paying them enough, that they needs tips to survive, that seems like an employer underpaying. If it’s tip or I fuck with your food or chase you down in the street… Then that’s extortion.

    “But with proper wages instead of tips the cost goes up.” THE COST IS ALREADY UP BECAUSE OF THE TIP YOU IDIOT, except it isn’t standardised or garunteed.

    “But if there is no tips to incentivise people they won’t give good service.” What ever happened to do your job, get paid. Fuck it up and get fired.?

    All it does is introduces stress between customer and staff. And causes a sense of entitlement to tips for things that don’t need it at all. Why the fuck is a self-checkour machine asking for a tip!?

    A tip should be for EXCEPTIONAL service. Not for the bare minimum.

    Tipping culture can get fucked in the ass with a sideways chair.

      For an indie game that I bought cheap (maybe even on sale), I do sometimes feel that the price was way too low for the game and I’d appreciate a easy way support the dev/studio a bit further. For AAA $70+ titles? Nope, not gonna happen.

      What’s up with this guy? Was he told “f u pay me” too often by his developers, that he took this phrase and found a new meaning for it?
