Donate to our beloved modders

[Kermanzooming]

This post carries a simple but very important message:

Donate to the people that make KSP the game we love.

Thanks to them, we spent countless hours playing a game that is so much better with mods that is a completely different game. This people devote their most precious resource (time), taking it away from work, family, friends and slepp for working for the community, because they, as you, love KSP.

So let's give back some love to our modders; donate to them. The amount is not important, if you can spare $20, do it. If you can only afford $1, it's perfectly OK. It's not about the money, is about them feeling that not only them are committed to keeping KSP growing.

I have already did it; I donated to @sarbian using this link. Now it's your turn; pick the mod you like the most, and donate to the modder that made it possible.

It's fair, and the right thing to do.

I agree. Even though I bought the game itself three times by now (is there another way to support SQUAD?) I still have more $$ invested in modder donations, streamer tips etc. Way more, actually. You are right, the people who spent their free time to create something for all to enjoy deserve something from time to time, even if its just to show appreciation and to keep people motivated.

???? May I ask you why?

First and foremost to support the devs.

Practically rather because I installed it on my sons PC and they have their own steam accounts. I know I could have copied my own game, but its inexpensive and has no DLC, so yeah, I figured why not.

Still the best $$ to hours of fun ratio of all my purchases ever.

Can't agree more; because with KSP, you don't only enjoy when playing, but also when thinking how to solve the problem at hand before your next playing session

And ^THIS^ is what I wish more people would understand....

I've talked to some console gamers, (not to pick on them...and besides, I dont KNOW any other PC gamers...lol), and when I talk about donating to mod devs, they look at me like I'm crazy... They pretty much say, once they pay the price for a game, there is NO way they are donating free money over and above that to anyone... And they look at ME like I'M crazy...

I tell them I think THEY are crazy: paying $65 for a single game, then having to pay for an ongoing subscription service to be "allowed" to play multiplayer online, then having to pay $10~$20 for periodic DLC, or $$ for some stoopid avatar items, or specialty in-game armor/weapons/other items.... ???

Or how about THIS one: paying $13 or more for a movie ticket that may get you 2hrs of entertainment, and thats IT... ??

With KSP, you buy it ONCE, for at most, 2/3 the price of any other video game, get all the updates FREE, get literally THOUSANDS of mods/add-ons for FREE, COUNTLESS hours of play-time.... If KSP froze development NOW, (well, 1.1.3 ), and I attempted to play just a FRACTION of the FREE mods that are available (yes, FREE!!), to their FULL possibilities, I could literally put YEARS into playing this ONE, SINGLE, GAME....

Now think about that... Wouldnt you rather see even a FRACTION of the THOUSANDS of dollars you could potentially spend over just a year, on "brand-name" video games, and "big-box" gaming studios, go to specific people, that you KNOW, and post with, who make such AWESOME content that can occupy and entertain you for COUNTLESS hours, while THEY struggle with real life, making content in their spare time, which in many cases, seems to be NOT so spare, FREE of charge, while they gain NOTHING, except maybe a meager "Thank You" here and there?

So please, for just NINETEEN cents a day, you can help save an independant, non-professional, down-on-their-luck, struggling, KSP mod developer who only wants to share their creativity out of the goodness of their heart, with YOU, fellow KSP players, while not even asking for or expecting any praise, much less monetary compensation...

So please, donate, and while helping to save and support these poor souls, remember, you'll be helping YOURSELF, by continuing to receive COUNTLESS HOURS of enjoyment from their content...

And if you donate TODAY, we'll send you a FREE, lime green, *Kerbal Snuggie™, for those cold evenings spent sitting at your computer, enjoying all the FREE KSP content that your favorite twisted, er, dedicated mod dev selflessly struggled to provide for you...

 

* Kerbal Snuggie™ is of course a fictitious product, which of course, we have absolutely NO intention of creating and providing to you, no matter HOW much you donate...

However, we could possibly be convinced to draw up and provide you with some detailed instructions on how to create your own lime green Kerbal Snuggie™ using a white pillowcase, a pair of scissors, and some commonly found household chemical products... All for FREE of course, with only a modest, one-time charge of $39.99 for shipping and handling

Totally agreed!!!  I've never come close with another game, or hobby for that matter.

Donating to the mod-makers is awesome, but I also agree, I wish there was something more we could do for the Dev's.

I'd love to express my gratitude to mod-makers with SWEET CA$H M0N3Y!!1!, but how can I donate to one without donating to them all? I already use seven different authors as a "base" install!

Well you can't, so pick up one at random... or the mod you couldn't live without...
