I know it most likely aint many of us - but is it possible with a payment option that dosnt involve Paypal?
The only donation options requires it to go through paypal, with or without an account.

We use Paypal as our primary system of record, we've thought about other things like Patreon etc but then it gets messy reconciling across multiple services etc.

Is there a specific reason you won't use Paypal even without an account?

I understand the difficulties and administration it requires to run multiple services, so the choice of going with a single solution does make sense.
Obviously i can only speak on my own behalf, but I have several times clicked the donate button just to check if there were other/new options to help everything on tracks.
If you keep the survey pop up running, try adding a question if people would donate if there were another payment option - just to get a rough idea if it would be worthwhile.

As with all choices there is ofc. a reason behind - but that is personal and nothing that concerns the public

I despise PayPal because I’ve had my card and bank information stolen through them. Large amounts of money were transferred from my accounts during my house purchasing process. Big pain in the ***. Would never have used them again, but the donation here was PayPal only. I felt dirty afterwards. Now I’m watching my account like a hawk for who knows how long.

Could development of new updated be voted on by donations. Let the the amount donated toward an improvement choose which update gets done? It would give people a chance to feel more involved in the direction of the game.

That is something we could take into consideration.

How much does an unban cost?

Wallet warriors, UNITE! For real though, this could be a good way to generate some donations but might turn off a lot of those who play and can’t win the auction against others 😂

You'll have cries of 'Pay to Win' then.

This seems exploitable.

What if someone donates to win the poll, then contests the charges and takes back the donation after the changes are made?
