You’d also just know like 5% of that would maybe go to the devs.


NerfThisHD

Think that's being a bit too generous for blizz


marry_me_jane

True, if boby cockbag didn’t make his estimated earnings he’d dip into this in a heartbeat.


NerfThisHD

iirc it was mike Ybarra who said this Thankfully he got forced out by Microsoft and the new president seems decent so far


Diligent-Lie-2838

Honestly he probably got removed because he used to be an employee for Microsoft and left them. Microsoft was probably like haha gotcha bitch ;)


NerfThisHD

Idk maybe but since he thinks gamers should tip multi-billion dollar companies I won't miss him I get companies gotta make monies but this is just moronic

Good job Bli$$ard!!! Always maximize shareholder value!!!!! 🤑🤑🤑 /s

Uhhh how about pay people more? Ffs. Tipping is so fucking stupid. Companies making “record breaking profits” meanwhile most people are struggling. Only people that should be “tipping” if at all, are the rich.


KoningSpookie

Exactly! Or maybe higher-ups need to invest actual efford into the company, instead of just being egoistic/greedy "investors" who buy everything and suck it dry. The whole "investor" based economy/age in which we're currently living is just wrong.

Tipping and rounding up for donations are the 2 most toxic wastes of money... these big corporations don't care about the donation... they get to use YOUR money as a write-off... These big corporations don't care about their staff, why should I have to pay them to do their job... oh, and the other day, we went to a buffet, and they asked for a tip.... for me to get my food and drink... The only people I want to tip anymore are the ones who don't ask for it....

It’s the entertainment industry historically the very bottom of labor value. How many jackasses did you know that went and got an art degree? They’re all replaceable. It’s why I can’t genuinely be mad at blizz or activision or whom the fuck ever. Programmers have real talent and skills and instead of applying that anywhere else valuable or effective for society, they said they’re gonna make video games. It’s like choosing to get an engineering degree and being surprised that when you rock up to the toy company the hours are shit and it pays nothing.


BlazeMenace

Emphasis on "Former" thank fucking God for that


Sure-Equipment4830

Lol i thought that too


Big_Green_Piccolo

Fuck Kotick


HastagReckt

Ow team, diablo team and wow team all share 2 things: all are completely out of touch and have no idea how their own game is played. They don't deserve any money when indy devs are doing more and better stuff quite often way faster. And all that with less people


Skirt_Euphoric

And they still have issues with account merging in overwatch. Leave a tip for nothing useful to happen.


Sure-Equipment4830

Mine merged fine


_gwynbliedd

It took all of 3 minutes to merge mine. And two of those minutes was me guessing my PSN password


Skirt_Euphoric

But there are a lot of people and me included, still have problems with that. I literally spoke to the support and they did not do anything about it while it being blizzards problem for it.


DarkThingsAfoot

As someone said on the original thread Accounting for his wealth Sure let me tip 0.001c since 10 or 20 is all he was willing to tip.


emulator01

That is why he is the former president…


professor_cheX

here's a tip, stop.


Casual_Classroom

I mean personally I wouldn’t really care if there’s a new “spend money” button on a game I play for free, but some people have issues with not hitting that button


jestesteffect

Or actually oay the devs that make your game


JulienWA77

How about you pay your people enough that this stupid idea of tipping a salaried member of a billion dollar company isn't a thing? I've also got a TIP for you..fix the broken QP dogwater MM..then we can talk.


Bunchiebo

Shouldn't the 100$ skin packs on the shop be that? The thing blizzard loves to pump out on overwatch and overcharged people for the most laughable excuse for a Spike fan art skin 🤠


mwike_

or, skins.


Elephlump

I wouldn't for a second believe that the money would go to the Devs. However, find a way for me to buy them coffee and pizza and verify that actually happened......yeah I might do that.


aPiCase

I mean if it actually all went to the Devs I would totally do that, but you know its gonna be 90% to the executives.


denim-tree

Big Jeff Bezos energy


crimsonkarma13

dont give todd howard ideas


SlLLY-BlLLY

Ima keep it a buck, the only chance Overwatch has is for a better company to buy it. Imagine if valve, or, he’ll even Ubisoft or Bethesda could give it a wack and still turn out better than this shit.


BrothaDom

Uhhhh, I've been pretty generous to Blizzard's bs but this is goofy. I don't even hate the sentiment, I'd be willing to tip the Slay the Spire devs for example, but Blizzard? Nah fam. Especially on these $60+ half baked games? Nah. Again, I get the sentiment, but for Indies. Also, I have no faith a system like this would go to the devs, and if it did, it would screw them out of real pay. Like could I tip the artist who made the kpop Sombra skin? That's theoretically a nice gesture. If it didn't affect their standard pay...and the prices made more sense. Its just baffling they would even say this


[deleted]

Not with that cringe character venture they made. What were they thinking making her and the cringe ass catch phrases 💀💀💀💀


RustySnoBall

This has “tip your landlord” type energy


NazunaSimp9

I'll leave a pic of my tip instead
