this is my point. both are depending on the customers to pay their salary. if you don't pay a tip to the waitress she gets crap for a check. if you don't buy the game and pay the sub the developer doesn't have a job. the best way to thank both groups is with your wallet. if your waitress never brings you silverware nor comes to get your drinks you won't tip and have negative things to say. if your developer does a bad job more people leave negative responses and it hurts their bottom line.

the bottom line is your money is plenty of thanks for both because that is what they depend on to earn their living.
