I get that, I didn't donate since 2014 iirc because of their decisions, but if I was a new player I'd donate just the minimum because I wouldn't want my game time to be interrupted, either by DC, game crash, my internet going going full ****** etc. And after all, they still allow me to play something I like for free, so in no way I'd regret doing it even if I don't agree with everything they do.
So yes, for new players if they're above 18 and can't afford 10e to be able to play something they love without interruption, it's just on them, but funny thing is that most of them come to forums to qq about it in one way or another...
