Humble Bundle
So, I'm not sure if this has been considered before, or what people's stand on it may be, but I thought I'd just throw this out there.
I know Bitfighter has kind of always lacked funds to do anything. All work that gets done on it and all advertising of any sort is purely voluntary, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. But if you wanted to get a small income that can be devoted towards the game, without specifically changing the game to a "pay to play," this might work.
The Humble Bundle is a nifty thing that bundles a bunch of games together and "sells" them for whatever the "buyer" wants to pay. It's more of a donation thing than really a purchase. I've seen some people donate up to $100,000, whereas the most I've ever donated to get the Bundle is $6. But I almost always "buy" it.
The website is here: http://humblebundle.com
The game application form is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?authkey=CNbjs6gO&authkey=CNbjs6gO&hl=en_US&formkey=dFAwSlNERjJkTlBwakJ5TC0yTTdoNWc6MQ&ndplr=1#gid=0
The Bundles used to be called the "Humble Indie Bundles," bundling specifically Independent Developer games, but have since expanded recently to have bigger named games, from such companies as EA and kalypso.
The only potential issue that I could see in this is that you have to provide some sort of Playable code for the game. This can be in the format of a Steam key. I remember there were some problems with getting Bitfighter on Steam, although I don't remember what they were, as Steam has tons of Free-To-Play games now.
So yeah, I just wanted to put this out there and see what people's thoughts and/or issues were.
