Eine:n Indieentwickler:in mit ein paar Euro zusätzlich unterstützen? Gerne. Eine Multimilliarden #Megacorp mit noch mehr Geld unterstützen, wenn man schon 50 € oder noch deutlich mehr für ein unfertiges Spiel gezahlt hat und mit #Microtransactions zugeschmissen wird? Fuck no!
I just found out that the new BPI app no longer support #gcash fund transfers below 300 bucks.
I've never had a #Gcash account, and the only way I got around doing #microtransactions with folks using that wallet is via the old BPI app, where I can simply transfer to the recipient's number.
I ended up paying cash, but I'd love to know if there are alternatives other than signing up for gcash.
Many small vendors still don't use #QRPH codes, and (annoyingly) rely on giving out phone numbers.
Apparently it can be done with #Seabank, and its free (yay!) for your first 15 transactions of the week. I don't think I'd ever use it that often for #microtransactions .
The free transaction limits for Seabank are refreshed every Monday.
It's always been free for me with BPI before, but with their minimum transaction amount, I needed an alternative wallet below their new threshold.
"developers who use #Unity's free tier of development services would owe Unity $0.20 per installation once their game hit thresholds of 200,000 downloads and earn $200,000 in revenue"
I use Steam and all but the "games shouldn't be more than $1" attitude so many people seem to have developed is really maddening. And definitely helped curate this mobile era of total shit.
Of course, we're still getting great single player premium games, so I don't think it's mattered toooooo much. But still very disapointing.
@ravindra@SirTapTap not that I endorse any "Post-Release Monetarization" but whilst throwing money after #CSGO won't make one a better player or prevent one from playing.
So #Sims 5 is confirmed (by the devs) to be a mobile game for the PC (and on mobile). Aka free to play but everything you want is in an in-game store. (and yes it will be playable with the same account on PC and mobile).
