It would be really nice if we got the option to get the donation button to pop up after the download has started. My biggest problem with the donation system here is that the button forces you to skip a donation before the download will begin. My solution to this has always been disabling donations so it just downloads right away, but it would be nice if there was the option to have the popup come after the download starts.
I agree that we can do better about capturing donations after someone has downloaded or played. I think we held off adding anything because we wanted a flow for people to donate after they've played the game. Having a donation button on the download page could work though, if they happen to leave the download page open after they've played the game.
Regarding asking for a donation up-front, that will probably always be there. We try to make it very clear on the screen what the point of the dialog is, and it definitely helps nudge people into donating
I totally understand how having it as it is would increase donations. I don't expect that to change, but I think it'd be cool to have the option to have it either before or after. Or maybe the option to make it a separate button on the page somewhere.
Anyways, consider it! I hope you can find something that'll work!
