Ok, I realize that I’m in the minority, but I want to pay creators for the time they have put into the game and encourage them to continue creating, even if they don’t finish. It just so happens that well wishing doesn’t pay bills and creators are more likely to try, fail, and resign than see the value in their art and retry or hone their craft/product.

I want to give money to artists, authors, musicians - anyone who is willing to spend their time and effort into making the world a little less awful because we live in a society that doesn’t care about art or beauty unless it makes money. And sometimes the best way to tell a person to keep doing what they’re doing is to help them get the basics taken care of and hope their effort is well placed as a result. I want to give them money for early access software. I believe in their vision as much as they did when they started. They have an idea that got them so excited that they did something about it. We need more of those people.
