Hello everyone!

November releases are now available!

This November, so far, I haven't been forced to change my billing cycle. Fingers crossed that things don't mess up.

Feedback Wanted (not anymore)

*Edit: As I got feedback, I'm revoking the free tier and distributing the miniatures normally. Thanks for the feedback.

Miniatures have been delivered as normal, if you have any problems, please let me know.

With this imminent change, I decided to try something different. I turned on a function that would allow set users to be directly linked to my Tribes and have access to a tier for free. In the past, this was not possible due to a release delay, but now I don't see a reason why not.

What I understand it does:

  • Give access to the monthly release;

  • Give access to the welcome Pack;

  • Give access to Loyalty Rewards;

  • Automatic 30% discount in the stores;

  • Access to posts locked to subscribers

I would appreciate feedback on the topics above.

Did it work?

Do you have access to the November releases?

Can you access the Welcome pack as I mentioned?

Did you receive a 30% automatic discount on the stores?

Can you try to write a comment on a locked post? https://www.myminifactory.com/tribes/Imagine-Minis/posts/Patreon_x_Tribes_Integration_Test_Post-107276

I've made this change because I thought it would work best for you guys. Manually managing the welcome pack, release, loyalty, and having a separate list for everything, chances are that I make a mistake somewhere along the process. Plus, you can also have a 30% discount code.

By the way, don't buy miniatures yet. Black Friday is almost here and huge chances that you can have a 30-50 discount on your shopping.

Best regards,

Ivo

Thank you Ivo, I got my email for the free month on Tribes, but the problem is it requires a payment method to be automatically charged on December, thus I'm afraid we would be charged twice: Both Tribes and Patreon. What shall we do?

Got it. I don't want to cause problems for anyone. I'm revoking access and delivering the miniatures normally.

You haven't been forced to change? huh... that's interesting... I wonder if patreon have messed up the implementation of this ridiculous decision... or going back on it now? but all the unnecessary headache it's caused every creator who didn't want this change... and all the time and energy many have put into working out how to continue their patreon under the new rules (some going as far as making their own new site...) Either way... my advice, delay it as long as possible for yourself. The change is (stupidly) completely irreversible. I have a creator friend who decided to try it out few years ago... after being suggested to try it... and regretted it almost instantly, but then couldn't swap back to the original payment style, and ended up having to delete their page and start a new one to go back.

"Action Required: Switch to subscription billing before November 1, 2026 Apple is requiring you to switch to subscription billing before November 1, 2026. If you don’t, we’ll automatically transition your account so your page stays active." Guess they delayed it. On the filter page, I can already see an option to toggle who paid for this month. Guess is a matter of time. In the meantime, I won't be at the Apple Store...

Awwww, shame, just delayed indeed :( So dumb how patreon is allowing 1 company to dictate this stuff for them :( and worse, apple forces an extra charge too to pay through them... and by a not small amount too... really screws the customers over for no reason :\

Imagine Minis

Yeah, that's why I recommend that my subscribers not use Apple for this payment. I don't think that they do this blindly. My guess is that miniatures is just a small market, and they think that there is a lot more profit in using Apple (a huge market that they have not reached).
