"Debate Sparked as Former Exec Advocates for Tipping Game Developers After Playing"

Former Xbox and Blizzard exec Mike Ybarra suggests that games should offer an option for players to tip developers after completing a game they find exceptional, expressing a desire to give additional monetary appreciation beyond the initial purchase price. Ybarra acknowledges the $70 cost of games but believes that some experiences are worth more and wishes for a way to show that appreciation. This proposed tipping system could provide additional rewards for game developers, especially with the growing popularity of services like Xbox Game Pass.
