Changes to Bronze Tier (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

From November 2022 the current Bronze Tier will no longer be available.

I have decided to change this tier so that it NO longer enables access to the Special Edition. A new Bronze Tier will created without SE access for $2.

Why am I making this change?

It is not really fair to the Silver (and up) Patrons that the Bronze Patrons get the Special Edition only one month after they do.

Originally Bronze did not get the Special Edition at all, but I decided I needed to give them something extra for the $3. I started by giving them access to a 4 month old version of the SE. However this soon turned out to be a major hassle as I needed to keep 5 versions up to date with each ATS version. I then moved up the release so that it was only one month behind to reduce the amount of work involved. So now Bronze basically gets the same benefits as Silver.

What happens after the change?

Anyone in the current Bronze Tier when it is replaced in November will still be a Patron but they will automatically be assigned to 'No Tier' status. They can then join one of the other tiers or cancel their support of the project.

In November I will send an email to all those with 'No Tier' and remind them of the actions they can take.

Thanks again to everyone for your ongoing support of this project.
