That is just saying that they will be giving some donations to the project. I have zero insight into W4 or the Godot Foundation, but they may have already donated. They don't claim to be the sole financial contributor to the project.


I did a bit rabbit hole checking.

Looks like they do donate: https://fund.godotengine.org/ (W4 games is an icon there as "Platinum Sponsor"). It doesn't say how much but given the amounts in the lower tiers it's probably not entirely insignificant.

So they _are_ actually using their $8M seed fund to fund Godot.

I do wonder if the author of the original post did their research properly. W4 games doesn't need to donate but they do so anyway.
