Hi how do I donate?

Hello,

I am really thankful of this website and would like to know where I would donate to you?
Everyone on here is voluntary helping out and spending their time to give and aid everyone else, especially from the evil scary EA! D:

Thanks,
Like a Star @ heaven

In the past, there was indeed a donation box in G4TW. However, nowadays, Admin doesn't need donations anymore. So, no there isn't a way to donate to G4TW (not that I know of). Razz

Hello!
Indeed, we help for free here, while EA makes you pay for stuff that is not that good...
We are happy to do so! Wink

Hey Layloria,

There might be a possibility though (sometime in the future) to donate something to help with the costs of the "download server":
http://www.games4theworlddownloads.org/

But in that case, I suggest you contact the Admin personally (via PM) for stuff like that. Or maybe he will post here too. Razz

Generally though, G4TW doesn't take any donations at this point.

In any case, you are very welcome Layloria - and thank you for the help ! Smile

Hi there,

Indeed, no donations any more. (You won't believe me when I tell you that when donations were accepted, a few years ago, about 4 people donated in total Razz

)
Anyway, if you want to help cover the costs for the Download Server a little bit, feel free to click any interesting ads you might see on that website. Those cover a VERY LITTLE bit of the upkeep costs.

Other accepted payment methods: Love.

I would love to donate too, now that I have a job and I have money coming in every month.
My whole childhood I couldn't afford games because my mom, even though she's working
very hard, she can't support privileges like games with so many DLCs.
All my life I was torrenting, and when I found about you guys, I was so happy.
You provide games for free and even give us support and love, and that's something
I really appriciate, so I want to show you, now that I'm able to, how much I care
and happy to be a part of this community.
If I can help with a little gift, I would be more than happy.

Anyway, if you'll someday consider bringing back donating,
just let us know Smile

Hello,

If you are serious about "donating", it might be a better approach if you yourself come up with something (creative ?). Smile

You can either make a (new) topic about that here on the forum, or PM the Admin.

Just note that it's unlikely that the Admin (or in fact any other team member) is going to give you a bank account number (for example), hence my hint before about a "creative" donation.

Hi feycat,

I'm glad to hear that you've been enjoying our downloads for such a long time.
I also agree that companies should make games cheaper, so people can actually afford them. (Although I personally don't might paying a little extra for good games. Horrible games - *UghAssassin'sCreedUnityUgh* - are not worth it, in my opinion)

Who knows, maybe we'll accept BitCoin donations in the future. The only source of "income" are currently the ads on www.games4theworlddownloads.org . I don't like ads, like most people, so I try to keep them as less-annoying as possible. I put income between quotation marks, because it's far from being able to cover any of the upkeep costs. I think the ads give about €3 or €4 a month. That is definitely not enough to keep a website like Games4theworld up. Razz

But hey, as long as you're happy, ~~we are~~ I am too. I love you
