I realize that, after all this time, I have never payed for my all-time favorite games I grew up playing (Fallout 3 & Skyrim). I can pay for it, but I really do not want to pay the money to the Bethesda’s marketing team, CEO, and whoever bullshit middle man who wants a cut of that. I want to give directly to the team that made the damn game, the artists, the sound designers, the voice actors, the programmers. If there was a way to do that, i’d be more happily inclined to spend my money on a decade year old game.

Just thinking

What are your ideas on how this could actually be implemented?

    Same here, using the US backed SWIFT system seems absurd. I’d be mindful of the shit around Crypto though, it’s why I like

    As always converting to fiat will be the issue.

      What is absurd is that US banks offer accounts without an IBAN/SWIFT number, or ask for large commissions on those, and people are still relying on bullshit non-standardized forms of identification like account number, bank codes and routing numbers. USA, get yourself and your banking system into the XXI century.
