Hello everybody.

Following feedback from the community, we have decided that after four years - can you believe we launched this page in December 2015? - of keeping our Patreon entry level at the super-low $1 per month, we are going to up what we ask to $2 per month.

That's still only the equivalent of around £1.50 or €1.80 for a new podcast every week - often extended compared to the free show - and your exclusive monthly podcast with Leon and Jay chewing the fat - as well as reviewing the month past and previewing the month ahead.

Alongside the main event that is the Cane and Rinse videogame podcast, your money also supports the production and distribution of the weekly Sound of Play, Play;Write and The Sausage Factory podcasts.

And what's more, Patreon supporters will receive every new show from Volume 9 (2020) onwards a full four weeks earlier than the free feed.

We understand that in percentage terms, a doubling in price is a steep hike, but we firmly believe that the price of half a cup of high street coffee for the hours of high quality entertainment we produce is not too big of an ask, and we hope that most of you agree. 

Judging by the fact that the average donation per Patreon supporter is closer to $2, we reckon you probably already do, and as such can count on you to sign up at the new price when we set it in January 2020.

Thank you sincerely for all of your generous support past, present and future. It really does fuel the whole enterprise and enables us to keep producing the vast amount of content that we do.

All the very best,

Leon and Jay

Cane and Rinse

No problem! Will we have to change it ourselves or will it be automatic?

Andy Pye

Still great value👌Keep it up guys, a highlight of my week.

Magnus Berg

I already support you with the price equivalent of a whole whopping cup of coffee so this changes nothing :)

Cane and Rinse

Thanks Scott! As we understand it folks will have to sign up to this - which makes it a bit of a risk for us - but we believe we can count on you guys and gals - our best supporters.

It’s clear you’ve put massive consideration into this, and I feel it’s the correct way to go looking at the landscape of Patreon. I’m confidant it’ll have a positive effect and allow you all to continually put out great content 👍🏽.

William G

More than happy with this, incredible value for money with the amount of quality work you guys put in. LONG LIVE CANE & RINSE

William G

Merry Christmas to all the team.

David Rushe

my lord chaps, i have no idea how you’ll do this but I wish you well.

Ryan Fish

I’ve been giving $3 for months now. No problem here! Glad to support!

Frank Kuipers

Heck, put it at 50 dollars and I'd still pay for it!

Danny Spiteri

Still the best value for money in entertainment.

Steven Cookson

As it currently stands this is the only thing I back because it offers excellent value and you don't gate off additional content (I don't think delayed release counts), so I'm game.

Cane and Rinse

The overwhelmingly positive response to this is warming our old, cold, pickled walnut hearts!

Mythic Resonance

An extra dollar, for a dozen or more hours of brilliant material as a result of so much hard work by the whole C&R team every month? A whole dollar? Preposterous! That's far too low! 😂

Thomas McInnes

No problem, it's still an absolute steal for that brilliant content

Alan Wilkinson

Can't believe those vote numbers. It's like a referendum in North Korea 😂

The Blood Shed

The problem is the people who would oppose the vote won't be able to because they have already stopped their subscription. I'm guessing...

Jon Solomon

I already support at $2 USD a month and I'm thrilled at the news. But I wanted to know how much impact accelerating your workload by 4 weeks might have on you all. Like, I'm all for having this great show that much earlier than others, but not if it causes undue hardship on your research, scheduling, recording, editing, etc. schedules.

TomRed89

I'd be more than happy to.

Simon Nelson

It goes without saying that I 100% wholeheartedly agree with this. Well done

Wonggifs

This is a no brainer. You guys deserve more for all the hard work you do.

Hops

A week early is plenty.

Cane and Rinse

Thanks Hops, but our hope is that some of the 95% of our listeners who don't currently pay in to support us will be motivated by the increased window.

Mclordenstein

More than happy to see the base amount increase and I think its well deserved really excited to see how the patron goes this year. I think a full month ahead will really push some on the fencers in! Thanks for everything you do!

Ben Naylor

Was already paying $2.00 anyway, so I've upped my pledge to $3.00
