Former Blizzard manager Mike Ybarra opened a topic that is a matter of debate in the gaming world.
Game prices increase over time for 70 dollars As if it wasn’t enough to last, we also had to buy it with dollars on Steam. Even if we save money for the series we love while being hit from every side, the fact that the games lose their diversity at some point and come out with optimization problems leaves our enthusiasm largely dashed.
But despite this, we continue to see very high quality productions. These games are undoubtedly worth their money. But the former president of Blizzard Mike Ybarrasuggests that such games should get more than they deserve, and in this context, he suggests that there should be an additional optional tip when we finish the game.
“I wish I could give developers an extra $10-20.”
Ybarra used the following words in his post on X:
“I’ve been thinking a lot about this idea as a gamer since I’ve been delving into single-player games lately.”
“When I win a game, there are some things that stay with me and leave me in awe of how amazing the experience was. At the end of the game, I would often say, “I wish I could give these people another $10 or $20, after all, this game is worth more than the $70 I originally gave them, and they didn’t try to take a dime out of my pocket every second.” I thought. HZD, GoW, RDR2, BG3, Elden Ring etc. I’m talking about games. I know $70 is already a lot, but at the end of the game sometimes it’s I wish I had It’s an option I said. Some games are just that special. I know most people won’t like this idea. “I also realize we are tired of ‘tipping’ on everything – but I see this differently than the pressured tipping scenario that many people encounter and complain about.”
There were those who found these words, which we can say are quite controversial, both logical and absurd. Moreover Ybarra’s It is also important to remember that in the method he suggests, there are several companies in between until the tip goes to the developers. This process will vary from game to game.
