Hey guys! Regarding the Patreon & Apple change (Patreon)

Hello! I don't know if only creators received this email, or if everyone with a Patreon account did - but it seems like Apple is forcing Patreon to use their in-app purchasing software, and remove all other payment options.

It is my understanding that this means that if you are using the ios store, prices will increase starting November 2024 but ONLY for NEW memberships. Here is a link which has been provided to me by Patreon, detailing the change: https://news.patreon.com/articles/understanding-apple-requirements-for-patreon

As far as I understand it, if you join before November, prices will not change for you. And I think that you can avoid it if you simply subscribe on your laptop/pc. If you aren't using the ios store, this is irrelevant for you.

I just wanted to let you all know if you weren't automatically informed - all in all I hope this doesn't mean any real change for any of us. There is a Patreon FAQ from August 12 - 16 on their discord, information about this can be found in the article I linked. But again, to my understanding, this doesn't matter if any of these are true:

• a) you either are already a member

• b) join before November 2024

• c) or aren't supporting me via Apple's store --> meaning you subscribed via android or pc/laptop / something that isn't the ios app

 I hope this was informative to you all! And I wish you a happy rest of the day! :)

I've written a bit on Chapter 31 already, but for now I think many of you will still have plenty to read with Chapter 30, so please enjoy it and let me know your thoughts if you haven't already! :D See you soon!
