Nope. Goes towards the wikimedia foundations various spurious side projects

Maintaining the wikimedia foundation and its various activities, such as business trips, grants, etc.
They have enough cash on hand and a portfolio to keep Wikipedia running for years. They’ve been criticized for their inflammatory fundraising practices for almost two decades now.

Less than $0.10 of that annual donation goes towards the website itself

Most of your money doesn’t go towards maintaining or hosting the website.

Your money isn’t going towards the website itself in any meaningful way.

Less than 2% of that money is going towards hosting and maintaining the website. Everything else is going into WMF employees salaries, conferences, and business trips.

You should know that most of that money isn’t going towards maintaining the website, nor would any of the dedicated editors and contributors benefit one way or another from a vast majority of the funding from donation drives going away.

The metrics that a player considers vs what a company considers are just never gonna be the same so this is moot. Final fantasy is a standard set that sold amazingly because it was tied to a massively popular franchise. That doesn’t mean enfranchised standard players are flooding the locals.

Just weird because Chris’s stuff almost never looks this weird (nonsensical chain links, bookshelf perspective all wrong and random floating book cover, potion bottles bleeding over images in the foreground, etc)
