Important Billing Update
🕑 Added 2024-08-19 14:56:42 +0000 UTCOkay, so firstly and quickly, I have some good news: I have a new Twitter account y'all can follow for updates and pictures of my minis and stuff I'm working on (so many minis...): @lonepineben
Now, if you follow other creators, I'm sure y'all have heard of the upcoming changes to Patreon's subscription model. Basically, Apple are being fucking dicks and are forcing Patreon to process their payments through Apple's App Store if you use an Apple device. This is creating an extra charge for Patreon of 30%, that creators have two options to work around; either pass the cost onto the Patrons, or take the price-rise on the chin and pay it out of their own profits.
I want to assure you all, I am not raising pledge prices. I will take the hit, and if you pledge $1, you will only pay $1.
The other part of this change, which is the part that really annoys me, is the forced change to subscription based billing from the time you pledge, not at the start of the month. This annoys the crap out of me, because I think it makes things so much more complicated than it needs to be, but it be what it be. I have no control over that one, and I apologize for that. I don't think it will effect current Patrons, but rather new Patrons, but I honestly don't know. I guess there's only one way to find out, huh? So.
TLDR: No price rise to the pledges, and starting next month payments will be processed when they were initially made instead of at the start of the month.
