Former Blizzard president suggests you should be able to leave a $10 or $20 tip for the devs because 'Some games are that special'

First reported by VG247, Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra took to Twitter a few days ago to suggest a new form of showing developer appreciation: having the option to leave a $10 or $20 tip on a game you love. You know, I guess I like the sentiment at least.
>> Would I get my money back if the game sucked? No? Then shut up.

What's more, would that tip actually arrive in the pockets of the actual devs or just feed the shareholders more unearned money? I'm 99.999999% sure it's the latter and the devs would maybe see 10% of those "tips".
