An idea for older games...

Post by Maquis196 »

This might create a 2 tier wine project so I'd rather not if that happened but has anyone discussed the idea of sponsoring bug fixes? Either for the dev doing the fix or just straight to winehq?

Reason I ask is that I generally super quite old games, some of them are almost gold/plat in rating. Would be nice for players like me to sponsor old games to get fixes that might otherwise not get the time to fix them.

What's everyone's take on this? I'm not a programmer and like when my car needs fixing, I'm happy to pay someone to do some work for me when I can't :).

My take is that users who talk about paying to have bugs fixed are usually underestimating the cost.
