Again, this system would be used for the dozens of smaller, very-low-priority feature requests that peppy would otherwise not waste his time implementing.
Actually, I'd say this is quite accurate. The people who "have more money" are those out of the "teen" or "child" groupings, which I would definitely trust more in knowing what a good feature was from a bad one.MarioBros777 wrote:
Basically, those who have more money will judge how osu! is made better. Please prove me wrong.

Just don't make them stars.
I highly disagree with this because teenagers could prioritize the wrong thing and use all of his/her money on osu! and spam everything.peppy wrote:

Most "new people" checking out osu! will not visit the Feature Requests board instantly to post new requests, in my eyes. This would also, like subscription, not be forced nor advertised.Yoshi348 wrote:
...at the same time I feel like a lot of other people will (especially new people checking out this osu! thing) and that it will turn them off of osu!
Why would you even do this? I don't even see the logic behind it. To be honest, if someone stops playing a free game because they find out... it is actually free because some people choose to help keep it running (?) then I don't actually want them here in the first place due to their brains not seeming to be switched on.Yoshi348 wrote:
I already know a few people who stopped playing osu! over the subscription thing
I really don't.Yoshi348 wrote:
I guess what I'm saying is that while I don't have a certain feeling that this is a bad idea, there are too many warning bells going off in my head for me to not say anything, if you understand what I'm trying to say.
Consider that osu! has been up to $3,000 in negative at the worst point in time which comes from my pocket, and I never even mentioned this until right now, I don't think you should have a concern for any kind of financial collapse.

A pattern like this would be obvious to stop before it got out of hand. That said, kids with access to amounts of money that would cause such a problem should not have access in the first place. ie. their parents should probably be showing more care.noxie wrote:

See this is not the angle I'm coming from. If you missed awp's last post:Guy-kun wrote:
I'm half-hearted about this, I still think that allowing people to sponsor something is commercialising the game and making the players with a great deal of money to spend 'those in control' and the rest of the community will go almost unheard.
People will sponsor other people's features. There may even be a condition invoked that limits how much you can sponsor your own features, or something similar.awp wrote:
I don't understand what all the worry is over. People aren't going to throw money at a feature unless they genuinely think it's quality. This isn't just some selfish, freebie want (such as starring a map). It is literally an investment.
I see this as an unnecessary extra step which would only serve to introduce bias.peppy wrote:
And remember this: I deny over 50% of features as being useless. If I don't see a feature benefitting the game and the community at a whole, it will not get consideration. This is merely an effort to prioritise the features which WILL be affecting and benefitting everyone that plays osu!.
Think of it more as "denial before it gets popular". No matter how much support there is, some features which I am strongly against (you probably know a few, but there aren't that many) will not be implemented. And I mean not unless someone murdered me and stole my identity and code.MetalMario201 wrote:
When real money is involved, people will think twice before sponsoring crap. A suspected useless feature might just turn out to be hugely popular, and it deserves the opportunity to be heard.
Of course, denial would be fair if the burden of implementation is too harsh and it only receives little support.
That could be arrange- I mean, that would never happen.peppy wrote:

After reading these answers i'm for 110% supporting this!peppy wrote:
