GOG now accepts donations when you buy a game, like it's a charity or something

The rising cost of videogames is a common concern among those who play them—witness, for instance, the upset over the prospect of an $80 Borderlands 4. But what if you think games don't cost enough? What if you, the concerned consumer, want to pay more? You can now do just that on GOG, which has implemented a new system that enables users to donate to the site like it's a charity or something.

The donation system (it strikes me as more of a tipping system, although that's splitting hairs), brought to our attention by Reddit, is really quite simple: When you go to pay for your purchase, a separate window gives you the option to kick in a little extra, in preset amounts or whatever you feel like paying.
