Why would anyone want to donate to a company? If people want to support the company they buy their stuff.

A quick read of the article (I know) suggests that this is an extension of their existing game preservation project, where they put extra development work into keeping certain abandonware classic titles compatible with modern systems.

I'm not saying that what you said is wrong, but there's a little more subtlety to it than "donate a company."
