Mobile payments are extremely popular in China. Similar to ApplePay for example. You just scan the QR code of the other persons mobile wallet and you can send them money instantly. Which is what they have done here.

A Chinese Animal Crossing player has set up a store on their Island where other players can buy custom designed in game items from them. They added their WeChat Pay and AliPay QR codes as a custom design in the game so people can send them real world money for the items. lolpic.twitter.com/eCeRDZ1O9v

Imagine spending real money for designs in a game when you can easily recreate the small amount of pixels that are drawn.

mate there’s a whole company called ‘Very Lazy’ that sell chopped vegetables so you don’t have to chop them. They are very successful. People pay for convenience.

Ngl, this is quite cute. Some people, especially digital artists, put hours and hours of effort into such things, so leaving it up to their "customers" to give a small donation IF THEY FEEL LIKE IT, is such a nice thing, ngl. Nothing wrong with this.
