EA Policy Regarding Early Access (Patreon)

As some of you may know, EA has recently made a major update to their policy concerning "paywalls" for access to custom content.  Historically the understanding was that a 14 day early access period was permitted.  The content would then have to be free "public" to all users.

This is a policy that I have always complied with.  The wording in the new policy regarding early access is extremely vague concerning the previously understood period of time. I will be researching further to find out if that period is no longer valid.

As early access is a feature of the donation tiers that many of you have been generous enough to support, I may be required to remove that feature going forward.

Sadly, this new policy is in response to a number of bad apples who have blatantly ignored the original 14 day understanding and kept their content monetized indefinitely. 

I have seen some posts and comments about creators taking down all of their content in response to this new policy.  Since I've always complied and still enjoyed your continued support, there is no fear of me pulling any shenanigans like that. 

To sum up, you will most likely be seeing alterations to the tiers in regard to "early access".  If we are required to make all content public, I will post again to address any additional changes I decide to make to the tiers.  

As always, I sincerely appreciate all the support that you have given me and for allowing me to enjoy creating the sort of content adult players of the game find appealing. I will completely understand if this new policy alters your decision to support or at what level of donation.

Please leave any concerns you may have in the comments.

All the best,
