Part of the glory of DF is the donation based system.  Toady isn't pandering to an audience, he's not meeting a sale's quota or finding his demographic, so the game can progress entirely how it wants.  There just happens to be a donation box, and it just happens to be so full that Toady can live off it.

I'd donate if I could (and I might attempt some form of donation drive via chainmaille...  $1 donated per purchase if you mention dwarves?)

Currently unemployed. Please check back later.

In all seriousness, though, if I had a job I'd donate at least once per version release.

I had some extra cash so I donated $20.  I think the time I have spent playing DF has been worth probably quite a bit more than what I have given.  When I have more disposable income, I will be sure to send more Toady's way.

Probably like the majority of people, I would absolutely love to, if I had the spare cash.

Then again, there are lots of things I would love to donate to if I had the money.

I've donated, and really I'm due to donate again. I figure, if I played WoW, I'd be paying a lot more on a monthly basis for not nearly as much awesome. Last time I donated was JUST before the animal sponsorship drive, so I think I'll hold off a bit and see if they do another December drive of some kind- even if they don't, at least Toady can buy Scamps a nice Christmas gift. Think I'll ask for a Threetoe story this time...

Broke college student here, when I have enough money in my account for a month of gas I'll certainly toss at least a twenty for this amazing game. As it stands now that won't be until May or so when people decide that the time of year I was born is the time of year I should have two pennies to rub together.

ive gotten in the habit of replacing my chief medical dwarf as soon as he gains any notable skill in diagnosis.
It's really funny watching them do unnecessary surgery because of a wrong diagnosis.
the conditions were bad enough to turn a dwarf who didn't care about anything mad, that's pretty hardcore.
