I realize that, after all this time, I have never payed for my all-time favorite games I grew up playing (Fallout 3 & Skyrim). I can pay for it, but I really do not want to pay the money to the Bethesda’s marketing team, CEO, and whoever bullshit middle man who wants a cut of that. I want to give directly to the team that made the damn game, the artists, the sound designers, the voice actors, the programmers. If there was a way to do that, i’d be more happily inclined to spend my money on a decade year old game.
Just thinking
This is what buying from coop developers is like. You know that everyone involved has agreed that everyone else is essential to the creation of the game and that everyone receives a cut in one way or another.
Could you link/provide a list of coop dev groups? I'd love to help support them.

True. And this falls squarely on their responsibility. If they set up a Patreon or Kofi something, for example, and make it known, then we can support them directly.
Or they could just publish the information required to do a cash mail / wire transfer. But I don't know how the fees would work for that with small donations.
This is the one valid use of that "tip screen" what's his name proposed the other day.
