Dark0ne Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Since launching our Donation Points system last year we've given away over $81,000 worth of Donation Points (DP) to mod authors. Thankfully, the reaction to this system has been overwhelmingly positive and we're extremely happy with how it has turned out. While mod authors can exchange their DP for straight up Pay Pal donations, we've also been very happy with how many mod authors have been exchanging their DP for video game keys that we've been providing in the DP store. It's great to be able to provide games back to people who clearly love games as much as we do! With that in mind, I've expanded the portfolio of games we now offer in the DP store. I specifically try and choose games that we have at least some mods for. The new list of games, on top of the games we were already offering are: 7 Days to DieBattletechBorderlands 2 - GOTYDoomDying LightGrand Theft Auto IV 4: Complete Edition PCMad MaxMiddle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor - Game of the Year Edition PCMiddle-earth: Shadow of WarPrey (2017)South Park: The Stick of Truth PCStellarisTyranny - Deluxe EditionI hope you all enjoy the new selection. On a semi-related note, we've been struggling to keep up with demand for some games in the DP store and I want to avoid having games out of stock if I can help it. I do not want to buy the games in considerable bulk simply because game prices can fluctuate wildly, with sales happening at any moment, and I don't want to be stuck holding on to a load of games that I bought for 50% more than they're on sale for now - that's not good for you or us! I'm also aware that some mod authors are buying multiple keys of the same game to give to helpful users of their mods, for friends or as prizes for competitions they're running. I think that's a really cool idea but, unfortunately, this is causing me a bit too much admin work as I struggle to keep games in stock. Similarly, it's becoming difficult to source large quantities of game keys each month from suppliers. As such, we have changed the store system to only allow mod authors to receive one of each game key in the store. I apologise for this change but I feel it's necessary, not only for my own sanity but also to ensure every mod author gets a chance to get games from our DP store. I want to say a big thank you and congratulations to all the mod authors who are enjoying our Donation Points system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in my interview, respect from a content host towards the content creators is a rare thing in this crazy online world, and it is very very much appreciated.

lazyskeever Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I am not exactly privy to the logistics involved in getting the deals for games to spend points on, but is it possible that the scope of this system could also be expanded to things like creative software (ie 2D/3D design tools and such)?

damanding Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Many thanks for this system! It's brought hours of enjoyment to my house thanks to being able to get games I couldn't otherwise afford. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadohz Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Why not just convert the DPs into gift cards for downloadable games or other items? Individual publishers and service sites sell gift cards so just let the CC reclaim them and do with them as they wish. If they want to use the DPs to give away items to other player so be it. If they want to use it to support EA then I hope they bu.. err I mean enjoy their selection. This way you're not stuck holding the (overhead) bag and the CCs have more options and know a fixed system is in place. The only downside I see to it is some may not want to reveal personal information about themselves to receive gift cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z4x Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Good decision with one key per account! It will result in less tiny pseudo mods uploaded on separate pages for the sole purpose of DP farming and selling SkyrimSE keys.
