Starting on January 1st, 2023, tier 2 and tier 3 will go away (Patreon)

In the new year I'll remove tier 2 and tier 3. On January 1st 2023 I'll hide tier 2 and tier 3 for new subscribers. The people who are currently subscribed to them will continue to do so till February 1st 2023 when they'll be deleted permanently. 

When I started I had no idea how to do this so I introduced tiers for early access and e.g. maintenance work, but after a while I discovered this isn't how I want to distribute my cameras nor do I think it's best for my users. 

Initially I had the idea that I'd do maintenance on a new camera for a month and then stop doing that. If people would like updates, they had to subscribe to tier 3. But that obviously doesn't work; people who subscribe to tier 1 expect the cameras there to work so if a game broke a camera, I could either wait till someone subscribed to tier 3 or pull it because it was broken. As I wanted as much cameras as possible available for everyone, I fixed cameras anyway so the tier setup I have isn't going to cut it. 

Added to that, I discovered that if someone subscribes to tier 3 and asks for a fix to a broken camera, I really have to do it, but if it doesn't fit my schedule or I don't have the energy to work on it, I'd have painted myself into a corner. 

So, for a while now I've been releasing all new cameras in tier 1 and fixing all cameras worth fixing when they break, also for tier 1. This effectively means tier 2 and tier 3 no longer need to exist. 

I know some people subscribe to tier 2 or even tier 3 just to support me with more than 5 euros. First of all: thank you for that! If you want to continue doing that, there's a way. In the single tier system, if you want to give me more money than the price of tier 1: specify a higher number than 5 when you subscribe. Patreon allows you to specify whatever you want when you subscribe. 

Lastly, I'd like to thank you all for an incredible year! I hope 2023 will be great for all of you. ❤
