There should be a way to give directly to the developers (programming.dev)

I realize that, after all this time, I have never payed for my all-time favorite games I grew up playing (Fallout 3 & Skyrim). I can pay for it, but I really do not want to pay the money to the Bethesda’s marketing team, CEO, and whoever bullshit middle man who wants a cut of that. I want to give directly to the team that made the damn game, the artists, the sound designers, the voice actors, the programmers. If there was a way to do that, i’d be more happily inclined to spend my money on a decade year old game.

Just thinking

What are your ideas on how this could actually be implemented?

@breadsmasher Not OP, but for me, donating by cryptocurrency is about a million times easier than in any other way.

Same here, using the US backed SWIFT system seems absurd. I'd be mindful of the shit around Crypto though, it's why I like

As always converting to fiat will be the issue.

What is absurd is that US banks offer accounts without an IBAN/SWIFT number, or ask for large commissions on those, and people are still relying on bullshit non-standardized forms of identification like account number, bank codes and routing numbers. USA, get yourself and your banking system into the XXI century.
