Tipping for services remains a hot topic of debate in America, as some believe that employees should be paid higher wages and the expectations surrounding tips should be erased altogether. That conversation took an interesting turn over the last few days, when former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra raised the idea of being able to tip developers for their work on certain video games. Ybarra cited games like Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, and Horizon Zero Dawn as games he felt were worth more than the price he paid, and he felt tempted to give the studio something extra in return. "When I beat a game, there are some that just leave me in awe of how amazing the experience was. At the end of the game, I've often thought 'I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn't try to nickel and dime me every second,'" Ybarra wrote on Twitter. Ybarra went on to note that "I realize we are tired of 'tipping' in everything else – but I view this different from a pressure to tip type scenario many face and give feedback on."
