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?

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?

I've bought slay the spire, factorio, binding of Issac, etc as gifts to friends as a ty for a great game. Dev gets their cut, friends get a good game. Win, win.

I only read the headline but if this is Bobby Kotick, he's just an all around piece of shit. He created a work environment so misogynist that multiple former employees described it as being like a frat, and a woman had her breast milk stolen from the employee fridge while the company did nothing.
