Add "buy devs coffee" and "buy devs pizza" to the shop

Nah, we don’t.
But I’m really super annoyed by the “complainers” thing, in general. Since the discussion in this thread isn’t shared among a large number of people (it’s mostly you, me, AvaDancer and now Crypticworlds - ok, mostly me, because I’m working from a computer with internet and I have a lot of waiting to do when 3DsMax renders pictures), I felt targeted, but in general, I don’t really see myself too much as a complainer, as I write a lot of suggestions and constructed remarks with potential solutions to problems. I purposefully stayed out of the whole concrete/gravel/sand thing, for instance. This latest update is a good one in my book.

Yea I did fit that description till this update hit. But I’m still unhappy with what’s going on with the lighting in my place. Going to try and change a few more things and if it fixes it I’ll keep playing but if it’s still being wonky I’ll be gone again.

Tho I’d say I don’t need buy devs coffee or pizza option as I’ve spent a good amount of money on the game already. Lol. But I can see why someone else might. But as those kind of options go I’d rather give money towards the game opposed to the developers getting food or drinks. Money to the game = more development. Money towards food n drink is just that food n drink.

Okay, when I read that several things went thru my mind, one of them of what could happen when they do add these options (pizza, coffee).

dev 1 “aww shoot”
dev 2 “what’s up?”
dev 1 “50 more people bought us a coffee, bound to not be sleeping again tonight”
dev 2 “well, be glad it’s not another 10 pizza’s like yesterday, still stuffed from those!”
dev 1 “I have some bad news for you then…”
doorbell rings

:joy:


Even tho they call it pizza/coffee for the devs what they basically mean is to support the devs financially without getting anything in return, the money will go to development not necessarily to actual pizza/coffee!

To think it all would go to the game is thinking everything works as it should. Not that WS has given a reason for us to doubt that’s what it would be used for(development) but in reality it could be used for whatever they feel like. Could be paying personal bills or gifts to other people(birthdays and whatnot). To me thinking things are going to be used as they should in any topic is slightly ignorant/sheltered view on life. Even our money that’s used to buy in game stuff isn’t guaranteed to be used for the development of the game. But it’s much more likely to be used that way opposed to an account that just gets donations.

Maybe I’m just unlucky and only see the bad sides of society and the world. And have a poor view of how things work in life. Or I can blame my state cause it’s pretty freaking corrupt :joy:(seriously tho it is)

No that sh*t better be a tip jar if they added it.

Using a tool like that to take money for the company coffers rather than employee bonuses is S-H-A-D-Y.

Employees get bonuses? That’s still a thing? My company got rid of those and it’s a multi billion dollar international company. Cheap skates. Lol :weary:

Yes, I’ve had such a sheltered life, lol, so thanks for the slight insult!

But why then write the above? Since both could be going to food and drinks, or personal bills, or birthday presents or to fund their own mission to Mars?? You yourself now just said that even any money we pay might not end up to be used for game development so why make that distinction AT ALL?

I think I don’t want to live in your country then…
What a bleak view of the world…

Time for a new job!

Time to move!

:slight_smile:


Just realised! Then why did you assume that pizza/coffee money would go to actual pizza/coffee???

It can be cut up and added to paychecks at intervals, passed out as gift cards, or stacked in a party fund or something.

Using it for operations would be a nasty, deceptive move and possibly illegal.

Why write that because like I said money to the game is more likely to be used for the game. It’s harder to use money that’s given to the game for things not dealing with the game unless the whole company is corrupt. But an account set up for donations literally could be used for anything.

@Nightstar that’s why I don’t support adding that feature as a few others have expressed. Plus the negative side affects it can have towards players thinking about getting the game. First get everything that was promised to be in the game actually in the game then set up a donation thing.

Okay, wow you two!

Then they should add an option called “donate xx to game development without getting anything back”

Sjeesh

And we’re now essentially coming back to what Loadkill was saying at the beginning of the thread.

It’s not the right time for the devs to add any sort of donation thing, because they already had a crowd-funding phase, the game has been released (even if largely unfinished) with a hefty price tag. Adding any sort of donation button could totally give them some kind of greedy reputation.

The other problem with donations that could creep up is someone donating large amount of money(thousands of dollars type) and expecting to get special/preferred treatment and having a say how things are done. And when they find out that won’t happen they start slandering the game all over.

*EA backers you mean?

ducks for cover

Yea but after the fact of being out of EA. And you duck with good reason.

ducks as well
