It depends. I've donated to things (eg. I donated $10 to OpenTTD when I've only ever paid more than that for a paid digital download once... Stardew Valley...

How much you wanna bet some idiot developer will think that it will somehow slow piracy if they use this API to try to prevent release builds from running...
