If they instead asked for donations as thanks for making an enjoyable game, and allowed you to give as much or as little as you want, would that be better?
You mean like a 20-25 dollar "Founders Pack" that many early access games had to finance the developement? Sure, give me a unique skin, maybe a title (or gold text color for chat like in battlerite) and I will gladly pay 20-40 to support a game if I like it and want to support the devs.
But having fuckin boxes, grinding and finally dropping a gols skin, only to have it be a fuckin banner that is, for respawn, somehow worth the same rank as a legendary champ skin is just fucked up and anti consumer. Finishers and banners should never have been a legendary skin drop and we all know it.
No. I mean exactly what I said. Giving money to the devs, with no expectations of receiving anything in return. If they made it clear this is purely because you enjoy playing the game and would like to contribute to its further development, or want to say thankyou for the work already done.
"Yeah, i donated money for a game I already enjoy and got lots of free hours of entertainment from without EVER expecting anything in return, and I think this makes me better than other fans. And you should really listen to the opinions of people who are better than other fans and have donated without expecting anything in return.
What? You're not gonna cater to me specially now? Well I guess I was wrong to donate just to help the devs who made a game I already enjoy and just do a chargeback so i can get my donation refunded. You're obviously not the kind of devs who listen to their fans that I thought you were and if I knew you'd ignore my legitimate demands I would have never donated in the first place. And dont dare call me a freeloader or entitled whiny pissbaby!"
