If I buy a 50 dollar game off of Amazon, ioi gets between $2.50 and $4.00 If I donated directly to the sites Paypal account 20 bucks ioi gets 20 buicks. I mean, really, which choice is better? |
If had bought your PS3 on Amazon through VGChartz, you would have donated anywhere from $16-32. Had you bought 1-2 games with it, you could probably bump that up to $20-40.
How often do you plan on donating said $20? If you buy 1 game per month, through the site (used or new) you will probably end up giving more to VGChartz.
Now I'm not saying a donate button wouldn't be useful, but not many people will use it (i know from another website with a bigger active member size, and every active member had a job (driving age and older only)). I won't, since I donate enough time and buy enough stuff through the VGChartz store. Also, if memory serves me correct, ioi does not want to go to a paid site, or even have a donate button, so the VGChartz store is the best thing you can get.
