I think more game studios (namely those who produce freeware and FOSS games) should be funded via crowd-tipping sites like Patreon or Liberapay. That way, they can receive a regular income while giving there games away for free. It seems like a better way to do the donationware model than just one-time donations. It might even be better than relying on game purchases, depending how often people buy your games.

@xianc78 I like the way Mindustry does it. It's FOSS, you can get it on the AUR, but also you can buy it on Steam for $10 ($4 sale RN)
