I realize that, after all this time, I have never payed for my all-time favorite games I grew up playing (Fallout 3 & Skyrim). I can pay for it, but I really do not want to pay the money to the Bethesda’s marketing team, CEO, and whoever bullshit middle man who wants a cut of that. I want to give directly to the team that made the damn game, the artists, the sound designers, the voice actors, the programmers. If there was a way to do that, i’d be more happily inclined to spend my money on a decade year old game.
Just thinking
What are your ideas of how this could actually be implemented?
@magic_lobster_party I mean… cryptocurrency fans are also regularly bullied to the point that it’s a bit risky to even mention my preference. And having a bitcoin wallet costs nothing, so the wikipedia decision must be caused by something else - maybe also more of a marketing thing. The crypto haters caused so much damage, it’s really sad.
It costs money to exchange Bitcoin to some actual useful currency.
@magic_lobster_party And yet, here we are talking about the use-case that is best fulfilled by Bitcoin…
I’m sure most of Wikipedia’s staff prefer to get their salaries in their local currency.
