we would rather have  feature for donating to a mapper

i was skeptic to beta but you can always paypal someone after enjoing a specific map but no one is gonna make an investiagion to get some paypal account linked to a profile on a webpage with a map that some streamer explained was made by 5 guys that isnt even correct...the only reason they would actually look at the topic would be to whine about perklimits or Zombie coutners you get the point

I also agree with your point here. In UGX, by donating, you are supporting official release for a mod, that anyone in community can use, when its released. This will boost up community a lot, since then people can make awesome maps with awesome mod. Meanwhile what donating to Stevie gives you? One map and tiny bit of money goes to UGX, which I believe is very small amount. And besides, if for example I would have donated only for Requiem, I would have donated 4 dollars, not 25. I donated, because I want to keep this site alive and want to see 1.1 happen, so we can see maps with higher potential.

Based on what? Without divulging too much information it most certainly isn't 'tiny'.

This guy get's it.

So the problem here is the semantics of the difference between a map and a mod? So if I was releasing a public 'Oil Rig' mod for people to use, then there would be no issue with it then? ???

no cause the difference of the UGX donation was that you are helping the maintenance of the site, servers and the tools they make etc and one perk for doing so was getting access to the beta of requiem. With oil rig, it is paying to pay a beta more or less.

And even if some of the money does go to UGX that should count as UGX donation aswell imo and previous UGX donators should also be able to try out oil rig.

And a large percentage of the donations goes towards the site. Which part of that are people struggling with? The money goes to the site and to the mapper, where it's supposed to go.

uh, no that was not the arrangement and I'm not going to let you start lying about it to slip out of any responsibility or blame. you were the recipient of the largest portion and UGX was receiving the smaller portion as site support.

Smaller portion of 4 dollars is about dollar, which isn't tiny?

I agree with most people, mapping should be done for fun. The whole engine isn't made by ANY of you and you're making your money off a map in a game that's not even made by you. Of course, you modified a lot, but I think that CZ should stay free. Or at least give people who have bought the map more features. But early access? Meh, I'm not hating so don't say I shouldn't hate as I'm just giving my opinion.

But why is the whole map still in the news? You can't download it or sign up as I'm a """"""New"""""" user??? I don't see how I'm a new user and I don't see why the map should be in the news when in fact it's useless space.

I don't mind giving a mapper money, but I would only do that if I played the map and I really liked it that much that it was worth some money (just as it would've been for example the Rezurrection map pack of BO). But I wouldn't do that to play but to reward the mapper.

Since you clearly have no idea about this matter, probably best to just stop.

Since nothing goes through your head, not even a bullet, I will stop responding, since I have done my rant already

i just love how this has brought the community together, i think we all deserve a pat on the back

Like I mentioned before the best thing is to have donation link under each mappers name so that someone can donate to a mapper who made an old map they loved or an upcoming map, that way its fair

i can understand why this is a beta is paid for but my only complaint is that not everyone has paypal. I stopped using it because of certain issues a few years back.

While everybody is freaking out here, i would love to see some numbers of how many people actually donated by now ( so about a day) and after a week for example. I'm just really curious to how many of the 150000+ members ( of wich most cleary dont get involved in the community at all, and might have completely different views on this ) would actually end up paying..

But then the whole website would become like youtube with their subscriber system.

people would leave stuff in their posts like: "If you like this map please leave a donation and comment. BLAhBLAHBLAh!"
