$168,000 for 1 game >>>>> Donations for 200 Open Source Games Projects

Well, of course one could suggest that people are just "cheap", but this isn't always the case. First of all, people like to give money, in exchange of something. Charity is therefore a category of its own. Donating without something in return is something honorable to do, precisely because it isn't something people do by default. I believe one shouldn't hate people who don't donate - only admire people who do donate. A very big part of the open source appeal is this idea of giving to the community without asking for anything in return (besides respecting the license etc.).
