Content

So, Patreon is a pretty terrible platform. There's a lot of reasons for me to say this, but it can be summarised as follows: 

- No guarantee: If Patreon wants to flip the switch on our account at any time, they can. This is due to the adult nature of our content and the *extremely* vaguely worded ToS. 

- Monetary issues: Besides Patreon taking a substantial cut, a recent incident has come to light that has definitely caused us to lose quite a bit of resources, and this incident is largely prompting this post. 

We've been thinking for a while about moving to another platform, but are now considering it more seriously. Before anything is decided or done however, we want to get all of your feedback on the subject. 

Would you still continue supporting us on a different platform? If not, how come? Make sure to leave a comment with your thoughts on the subject. 

Thanks in advance.

I know some groups are moving to subscribestar

Patreon is my preferred subscriptions platform to use. But, I’d be fine supporting on another platform. I’m curious what platforms you have in mind. SubscribeStar seems to be the secondary platform creators use and that has discord integration also.

I've had several people I support switch from Patreon to Subscribe Star because of stuff that Patreon has been doing. So you doing the same isn't a big deal.

It's a pain to move subscriptions piecemeal, but even though I'd rather you stay on Patreon as long as feasible, I'll follow you guys wherever.

Mark Maben

Been here for all these years, yours was the only Patreon I was subscribed to. Where you go, I shall follow, because I've always believed in your work, to the tune of probably <$400 at this point

I think the problem here is that if you want to migrate to another platform, that platform has to be popular and valid in many countries around the world. it will be very difficult in registration and payment. Sometimes even unexpected problems are encountered.

after patreon. Fanbox is another very recurring platform.

Even if they decide to emigrate. No problem. I will continue to support them wherever they go.

The main reason why Patreon for me is my preferred subscription platform is generally its ease of use and ease of management. I have tried other platforms in the past and the issues I keep having with other platforms such as difficulty in setting up payment systems and accessing the content I have subscribed to are infuriating in many cases. I haven't tried subscribe star yet so I am willing to give them a shot if you guys absolutely need to move over to a different platform but Patreon is my preferred platform if you can stay here. The decision however is ultimately your decision and I will try and follow you wherever you go if I can.

Patreon is fine, but you are the only one I am supporting here on the platform right now, so if you move, I move, thats it.

Emmanuel Marcelo

I have not encountered difficulties on patreon yet, but I have no trouble supporting you elsewhere

PichuFV

Middle ground, depends on the platform, if its trusty and known

James Lacey

I've supported you here for god knows how long now but it's not the service I'm tied to, its DID Games and the team behind it. I'm more then happy to follow you somewhere else.

Chan

Personally I’d rather continue supporting on Patreon because it’s what I use and only what I use. I wouldn’t be opposed to another platform (which given the reasoning mentioned in the discord is understandable), but I wouldn’t be the most optimistic because I’d have to get out of my comfort zone for the same content. Would definitely still support though

Quetzal

I would *probably* support you guys elsewhere if I trust the site, and if doing so includes access to Discord streams. Frankly, the biggest draw to me to support you guys is the streams. I love your work, but the social aspect is a unique perk I don't see among many other artists (SPEAKING OF - if you move elsewhere, please update your game demo saying so. I only found this community because the DIDNapper 2 demo ends by saying we can follow your progress on Patreon)

DeMar

Definitely would support enjoying the game to much to stop showing support for the hard work you guys put in.

Ddot1400

Limited money so... I could only support one game. I liked DiDnapper so much I was annoyed with how long it took to play DiDnapper 2 that I joined the beta. This is my biggest draw. I'm only supporting you guys and you guys only, monetarily so you switch, so do I.

Simon Bell

Limited money so i would sapport u alsy where but patrion is what i use and i very much like didnapper And didnapper2 u guys doing great job

Andrew Dean

It seems the yays have it. Let the Patreon Diaspora commence

Andrew Dean

Is the monetary loss due to Silicon Bank imploding? If that is the case, there's a very good chance you can recover any lost finances.
