By now, everyone in the world knows that American tipping culture is getting out of hand. That doesn’t mean you can’t introduce another way of “supporting” creators. Mike Ybarra, the former president of Blizzard, shared his desire to tip developers of especially enjoyable games.

“When I beat a game, there are some that just leave me in awe of how amazing the experience was. At the end of the game, I’ve often thought ‘I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn’t try to nickel and dime me every second.’”

    Telling that he doesn’t think that paying higher wages is an option.

    In my opinion, everybody who is over 13 and hasn’t grasped that AAA-gaming is not about good games anymore, is a fool.

    Just play indie games.

    Dinosaurs must die.
