The situation:

An average guy ( let's call him Toby ) had a coding degree and was a huge fan of GTA ( Or any other game you like ). One fine day he decides to start making a mod for GTA. It takes him 4 years, alot of hard work and alot of financial loses ( let's say $15,000 ), to complete but it is one of the best made GTA 3 mods ever. He then places it in a steam workshop ( With a donation botton ), hoping he will at least get enough money to balance out his financial loses.

1 Question:

How much would you donate ( Not knowing the whole background story except for the quality of the mod )?

Be brutally honest.

$10 but only because I'm really dumb when it comes to money. I don't game on PC. I donated to fund some wrestling game that I'll never play, too.

Probably nothing to be completely honest.

Nothing. Do your own game and the we'll talk.

0$

id rather donate to people who cant afford to eat.

Not to sound harsh, but nothing. People do these mods as a labour of love, and because they want to add certain things into their favourite games. I do greatly appreciate the amount of work which some people put into some of these, and perhaps they deserve more credit than they get. However, it should not be done as some sort of method to make money and it should not be seen as such.

If people are willing to donate, then that's great. Power to them really. But I'll not be giving any money for them any time soon.

Depending on the mod, $5 to 20.

At absolute max, and being as generous as I possibly can, $5.

Probably 0.
If he's doing it right, he made the mod for fun and the satisfaction of others enjoying it. He already got paid.
If he's doing it for money he should go to kickstarter or apply for a job.

Absolutely nothing. I don't like to part ways with money, it's my second best friend in this whole world.
