Hi everyone.

This post is a little different than usual. I don't know if you have been notified about this yet but Patreon wants to change up their fee system so that all supporters pay the same fee, an extra fee on top of what you pledged, so that "creators now take home exactly 95%".

Problem is, if you take the new fee in count, this assessment is plain wrong. For all of you 1$ supporters, you will pay more than you used to and I will only get 69% of it all. Even from 8$ pledges I will still get a little less than 90% of what you will actually play.

To put it simply: you will pay more money so that I receive more money, except I'm actually gonna get a lower portion of the total you pay. But you will definitely pay more money.

This is very embarrassing for me as I directly depend of Patreon's services and was not consulted over these changes. That is why I sent them an open letter on their feedback form and on Twitter.

If you have the time for it, I would suggest you also voice your concerns on their feedback form.

Thank you all for your continued support, I really hope Patreon backs down on this decision and you don't get affected.

I submitted feedback. The changes as described sound braindead and would cause me to have to reduce how many patreons I contribute to. It seems to target patrons with many small donations the most.

Is there some way for us to send you money directly, bypassing Patreon?

Well I do have a Paypal account where I would gladly accept donations but Patreon does give me the advantage to give you access to tiered rewards, among other things, which would be very handy for the yet unannounced changes I want to make to my Patreon very soon. However, I am also considering starting a ko-fi page. Whatever happens, I will definitely keep you up to date on the subject and also I will write about the current situation and where I stand on the next Weekly Recap on Monday.
