News regarding Patreon’s new billing policy. (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone! I’m not sure if you all get emails from Patreon about these sorts of things, but I’m sure it’s better if you hear it from me anyway.
So from what I understand, Apple is forcing Patreon to have all members change their billing model to be subscription based. Basically this means, instead of being charged on the first of every month, you’ll be charged every month on the same day that you chose to subscribe. Patreon has been pushing this model on creators for a while and since it has been optional I had chosen to opt out of it.
I like knowing when to expect my payment and with this new model, I assume things will be less consistent for me in terms of when I would receive it and confusing on your end when you see a Patreon charge in the middle of the month (multiple if you subscribe to others).
So yeah, I’m not a fan of this change. I think it’s bad for everyone honestly, but I don’t have much of a choice to delay it further. So, I wanted to let you know that I’ll be changing to this new subscription model starting in November, once the new policies are forced to go into effect. I want to apologize for any inconveniences this may cause you and should you decide to leave, I greatly appreciate any support you have provided and hope you will continue to stay up to date with the game’s progress.
Thanks as always!
