^ Aha, someone here DOES know Steam, too! :D When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in lines before me...

So... Aero is a charity now? In my opinion, people should be donating not because they want Aero to have an easier time, but because they really think the campaign is worth a bit of money like some purchased game. At the end of the day, it's up to the people where they want their money to be spent on, though.

It just tends to be that custom Warcraft 3 maps/campaigns haven't really became businesses or projects that pay even. Why? Well... DLCs are often much, much smaller than the original game itself.

I agree however, that we're spending more and more of our money to some useless stuff like going to the movies (nowadays I rarely, if ever, go there anymore though). But what needs to be noted as of right now, is the current status of economy; if I'm not mistaken, we've just been VERY SLOWLY started to recover from an economic depression (and who knows, it might crash hard very soon again). So if anything, people want concrete products/services for their money more than simply giving it away without receiving anything extra in return.

And then of course, yeah, you might have a job now that leaves you with decent amount of extra money to spend after taxes, living costs etc, but what if you suddenly got fired because your company wants to save money? 10 bucks a month doesn't sound a lot, but it all adds up over time.
