PWYW-ware ? (for Pay Whatever You Want)


I was thinking more like, "Great Goo Giveaway Gobsmacks Giddy Gamers," but yours is good too.

I would call that Donation-Ware
easier to say easier to recall ;)

how much do you guys think processing such a payment cost them ?

edit: seems like a nice game except for the mixed vert- gameplay which seems like some gameplay elements might be missed according to the report screenshots ...

I knew a guy who owned a shop and he told me Visa charged him just over a dollar for every transaction... said it used to be over 2 dollars, but they lowered it when debit came into style. Dunno how true that is for everyone.

Anyway, I like donation-ware, it's like those library days when you get admission for any donation, they call those donation days.

I kind of figured that the revenue has flatlined before they did this. One would hope anyway.

It´s a 1 on 1 basis, each specific branch of each specific bank will give you a price based on the interest they have on you using that service.

For example,

I used to run a shop with an online counterpart, in the shop, the bank charged me around 2 dollars for every transaction, while on the online shop, only 50 cents.

Also paypal works in a percentage and not a fixed fee.

I'd support them, unfortunately, they want me to support paypal to do so, I won't.

Paypal is and always will remain a scammer's haven, just like the giant that bought em.

there was a "continue without paypal" link in the page at some point but it seems the page got reworked and I can't find it anymore...

I can't even get the damn thing to load :( It just hangs as a process, and I'm pretty sure its compatible with Vista x64.

Bah ! Google returns nothing useful.
