We ought to set up a Dom 4 fund.

The devs have stated often that $$$ does not drive them nearly as much as fun. The conversations in this forum (good and bad) do more toward getting things done or dropped than arguments about profits. If you search back thru comments by Kristoffer O and Johan K for +fun +develop +dominions you will see some pretty hefty rants on the subject.

Positive/Negative reinforcement has done much to shape our favorite game. Ive tried to hint but some ears are deaf. Ive seen some great conversations where the devs joined in at the beginning, then along comes some strongly worded "logic" on why it would be stupid not to have it done. The devs quit the thread and the idea dies while other nicely requested or praised suggestions move forward. And unfortunately the same people are often involved. Some people are very capable at getting changes done by the devs, and some are very capable at getting their favorite desires for the game killed. Whatever someones opinion is on the way the devs operate, they have been very clear about it a number of times so its either learn it or lump it. (sorry, turning off my own little rant now, Not aimed at you specifically HB)

Unless the fund was an effort to buy them out and move it to someplace like Microsoft. Ive seen some toungue-in-cheek comments by the devs along those lines.
