Dear patrons of my Patreon Channel. 

First and foremost a thank you for your support of my work on this channel. It truly means everything to me. 

Patreon has been forced to change how to invoice the access to my work. This is caused by a lawsuit brought by Apple. It is a demand from Apple towards Patreon being on their Platform on the Apple devices. 

In the future you will be forced to select paying for the subscription in the amounts of at least 25€’s or more a month. 

I am adjusting all the prices of the tiers. The current prices are set by Patreon who used a multiplier system in order to help with the transfer from a per-creation account to a subscription account.

As I am currently in Japan and on vacation I am relying on various levels of internet and not always a constant access to the same.

I have been assured by Patreon that no patron will be charged more than they have already set in their personal settings that they are willing to sponsor with.

I hope that you will continue to support my work and will make a monthly subscription.

There is also a thing that needs to be said. 

If you’re setting up your payment through an Apple device (ApplePay more specifically) Apple will make a charge of 30% to all new Patrons. 

However, this is easily avoided, if you subscribe through a windows device or select an alternate payment method. 

Patreon has some guidelines on how to do so on their help page. 

This has been forced, and is now part of the new reality. 

Hopefully we walk towards a brighter future and with lots of new work for your enjoyment. 

Yours truly

Hammer

The membership I have suddenly changed from $10 to $123.50 is this correct or some type of error because I need to know quickly

Sorry, but i don't understand i follow others creators and they don't have this problem. Also the demand said that Apple will take a 30% if you use its plataform not the of at least 25 €. I don't understand why you decide to chage so much the money. It's very sad but the change is to much for me and i think that for others too.

I agree. Same for me. Increase doesn’t really make sense and Apple isn’t to blame for it. They take 30%, that are 3€ of a 10€ membership… If you don’t want to make a loss as creator price would be around 14,29€… And also members can simply subscribe through browser and it won’t charge the 30%…

I am going over all the prices. Patreon has set this new price. Feel free to shift plan if necessary.

Your not the only one just checked all the rates for Hammers tier have changed in the membership deal as it stands the next rotation I marked as what I’m reading: acorn tier $31 dollars a month Seedling tier $62 dollars a month Young oak tier $123.50 dollars a month Growing oak tier $185 dollars a month And we appreciate you telling us Hammer and If it is truly apples fault F**K THEM!!! And I’m sorry you might not much business from me the next rotation because these prices are a lot harder to manage in the states right now

hhammerh

I am still in the middle of adjusting the prices. Would hate to lose you, man.

Bluepeter

Will you be changing the prices for your tiers to a lower number because otherwise I will unfortunately have to cancel my membership?

hhammerh

I will be changing all of them. But sadly I may not be able to go as low as they were before. Times has changed. But please refrain from canceling anything just yet. I am away from my keyboard and can’t work right now. But I assure you, the current prices are not set.

Bluepeter

Just to be clear the new prices are for the next payment cycle not for the one we recently just paid correct because that will give me a month to decide on whether I will keep my subscription

hhammerh

Yes, it’s for the next cycle. You will not be charged by these new prices once they’re set until the first of December.

It's not your fault dude and thanks for letting us know!

I’ll give this a few hours and see. But if the lowest tier ends up at $31/month, that’s just a bit too much for me to be able to commit to

RStark

Will you be changing the privileges of which grants you? For instance will Seedling have what Young Oak grants you?

Whoa! Jesus! Which apple lawsuit made this happen? The only one I'm aware of is the one they had was the one they lost, Epic V Apple. Edit: Ok, I'm looking at the message from Patreon now; Apple, in all its desperation for cash after the current market crash, has decided to reopen the case for a 4% market commission cut. Yet this change will only affect creators using the legacy billing. Is there a setting in the system that can change this?

Runus Brewblade

Yeah im going to have to cancel 😞 to go from $7.50 to $62.50 a month is too much. Sorry Hammer but while I love your art and stories I can't justify spending that much a month.

Sakais_Spirit

In my Patreon message it says that December will still be 5€. Is that right? Also am I understanding correctly that I have to at least pay 25€ a month after that? Thanks Hammer.

Will this be a permanent change or temporary?
