Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra thinks tipping game creators $10 or $20 on top of the $70 price is a great idea. "Some games are that special."

Robots can't clean like scruffy joe can
There was a trickster who kept missing the urinal and splattering the ground with urine so scruffy joe put bleach on the floor of the bathroom and waited in a nearby closet & caught that rascal when he ran out of the bathroom coughing up a storm!!!! We were very thankful and so we all chipped in and gave scruffy joe a $5 mcdonalds gift card!!!!

janitor jobs are for old men and women who made poor financial choices in their prime

That is a false narrative. You have to study and train to be a good janitor, its a job that hard work and love for cleaning.
Good Will Hunting is a great movie about a janitor passionate about this career field, you should watch it.

Let people tip sections of the dev teams with none of the money going to Blizzard overall.
Then pay the dev teams less because they're getting tips.

Game developers are underpaid compared to market rate for similiar development positions, but that is because everyone wants to be a game dev. Its not like they aren't making 6 figures+ anyway.
I personally only tip my plumber (hes VERY good) and janitorial staff. Everyone else gets bible quotes written on used kleenex.

Other devs are just overpaid.

Very true. Most good software is open source by neighbors who do it for free. Soon everything will be GPLed, making devs have to live off donations like dogs begging for scraps.
