Yes I think I want to try this out. Not sure how many would want to donate with this as a goal though. The last regular donation we received was almost a month ago, so maybe we can run it only once.

I am on…. and my RPGWatch donations is cooming too. I am just slow, sorry about that! I've been having some problems with my paypal account… working on fixing them!

I suppose there is no other way to donate aside from paypal ?

I would be 100% in on this.

Also, I dunno if there's any way to check, but I posted a donation to RPGWatch a while ago, and it's not showing up on my profile anywhere. I could probably find the bank statement, if necessary.

I don't have any idea, either - and maybe people don't think TW2 is a good example for this kind of thing.

Personally, I wouldn't mind setting up a monthly donation at ~5$ or so, but I fully understand that others would find that too much for them.

To me, it's more about "voicing" my opinion about quality PC CRPGs - than it's about buying a specific game over and over.

We'd need a few people to make a difference, obviously, so if we can only get 2-3 people to support this, it likely won't get noticed - and the effort is largely wasted.

I would still feel good about it, however

Those who did not add their user name when making the donation aren't listed explicitly as I assume they want to be anonymous. If that is not the case then sent me the mail from Paypal again and I'll change it for you.

Has the donations page been updated to reflect the latest amount of money needed or surplus you have ?

Also, how did you pay for all of this before donations ? The amounts are in thousands of euros… That's quite a lot for most people…

The donations page is up to date. I've just added the ads income of the last months from GoG.
The operating costs are currently 768 Euro a year or 64 Euro a month or 2.9 Euro a day or 12 cent an hour….. 12 cents is acceptable

I was a bit too quick, apparently this causes some issues under Dutch tax laws, so I will have to suspend this option either indefinitely or until it is clear there are no issues to deal with.

So, I can donate to the game now? Seeing as how there's a competition going.

Certainly

But it wasn't because I wanted to feel good about something. It was because I wanted to set in motion something that might make an actual difference in terms of the industry.

But the Watch is a good thing to support, so I'll probably do that when I get around to it.
