I've donated a dollar.

Hello, I have a confession here.
I have traded some TF2 hats for NS2 gift (which was a pre-order, but I didn't get any per-order benefits), then bought Deluxe upgrade with 50% discount and donated a dollar (one) for reinforced update.
I have 122 games on steam, all of those come either from 1 dollar bundles or TF2 hat trades and about 5 of them are cool AAA titles which are gifts from my really good steam friends.

I've put 863 hours into this game, which makes it Top 1 game ever played for me.
Seeing all these people who donated for constellation, alpha and beta supporters, everyone who has shadow and onos badges and those who supported IronHorse, it just makes me feel bad because all I could contribute was six dollars. Unknown worlds really deserved much more for what they did (I'm comparing what they did to other 121 games I own), it's just that I can't afford it.

I wish I could have done more for the best game I've ever played, best community I've seen and best developer team out there.

Thanks you everyone for being a part of NS2.

    D'awww, such a cute thread. :x

    It's okay xen, you gave little money, but even more heart. You make a game with money, but it thrives out of passion. =D>

    Some can afford cash, some can afford time to build content, some just spread the Message freely with passion. All are vital to NS2 :) Thanks for your contri!

    what's sad is that I'm even cheaper than Xen.

    In the 9-10 years I've had steam, there's only 1 game that I've actually bought.... All the rest of my games have been either gifts or I traded for them or I won them in a contest

    Even though I currently don't play the game, I do want to contribute up to the Shadow Badge, I always did love the game and you guys did a good job on it.

    Best of luck.

    Does that mean I shouldn't feel bad if I don't get a badge considering I (more or less) did that before the game was even released?

    I think anyone who is not able to buy at least the Gold badge (yes, the gold one, let me check again), should at least subscribe as a conscript to the ever-growing and genuinely enthusiastic TSF forces and fly off the Earth to fight the alien menace on the outskirts of the galaxy. I think this is really a good idea, and therefore I will present it to the Panel Intercomittee for Space Settlement (PISS) on a proper form to be passed into a new regulation effective on every TSF colony. That could result in a nice salary raise and maybe a promotion one day, so that I can effort both heating and food every day.

    And that's YOU I am talking about, citizen! Remember, the TSF needs you!

    Also, remember to bring all your papers and have all the necessary stamps, permits and supplements in perfect order. Failure could result in all sorts of unspecified complications.

    I would like to meet your wife. She must be an exceptionally supportive, kind, patient and good-hearted person. Or very young. Either way, I'd like to meet her ;-)

    really? I bought the pre alpha. don't make a thread saying how little you can contribute. we could all make these posts. at least you got a lot of awesomes. hey I donated 35 bucks (or more considering the cheap sales). do I get attention? seriously, you can donate but don't be a douche and have ppl praise you.

    You gave what you could afford, which makes much more of a difference than giving nothing at all.

    Thanks for your support, and thanks very much for playing!

    sorry I didn't catch the sarcasm in those posts. but clicking abuse for that post makes a lot of sense. gg internet. you always seem to get some passive aggressive comment in a thread and its ignored. good for you bud (see what I did there? this is to ghost and josh, and here comes the abuse clicks from both of them)

    I donated $1 too, but I wish i could have just donated 10 cents, but the minimum was $1. Still I regret that I financially supported this garbage development team.
