Phoenix	Every developer seems to have one of those donation buttons today. It makes perfect sense: make product, get money. The idea is splendid, on paper, but how many actually donate? I don't feel morally obligated to donate to creators of free software, so I don't donate. Do you?

Afr0	I don't donate alot either, but I don't find myself using alot of indie games or indie software for whatever reason. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

Jayenkai	Nope, but then I never have any damn spare cash as it is. Take this week, for example. I paid my bills early, I've bought a few Xmas pressies. I was in "Free Week!!" heaven, and ready for spending a bit of cash for a change. Then I got swine flu, took a week off work, and I'm back at square 1 again. Fucksocks. If I had spare cash to do so, I think I probably would donate a bit here or there, but it'd have to be something I play for a while. Something I'd keep coming back to. .. ...I'd probably just buy the T-shirt instead! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

steve_ancell	Would it be possible to get a sponsorship from a company ? I mean something like putting billboards in the content of your game, just like putting billboards in bus stops etc.

Scherererer	You'd be surprised sometimes -- I've seen people that work for actual organizations donating when a piece of freeware saves their neck, and sometimes donating pretty heafty sums (in excess of $100). It's probably not as easy to get donations for something like games, but for system recovery and business productivity software, I'm sure they get a little bit of padding in the wallet (as long as it's good). \|edit\| Speaking of: Jay, why isn't there a dedicated link to the t-shirt designs you made? \|edit\| -=-=- YouTube Twitter Computer Science Series: Logic (pt1) (part 2) (part 3) 2's Complement Mathematics: Basic Differential Calculus
