Major Updates and Future Plans
Added 2021-03-02 11:35:02 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
We're already three months into 2021, and it feels like time is finally moving again. With that, I've thought long and hard about the future of my content and of all of you. First things first, I'm not leaving or anything so please don't worry. I have realized some changes were in order to better serve you and continue making the type of content I love to do. One of the toughest decisions I've had to make is how to proceed with both content creation and offering rewards that I've felt were commensurate with the generous support you've shown me these past few years. After careful consideration, I've decided to try a fresh new model, one that puts more control in your hands. My tiers have been reduced to a simple 2, so that you have the choice to pledge as little or as much support as you wish. In exchange, I'll still be offering physical rewards at the $20 threshold, however, beyond that it is completely up to you how much you'd like to continue pledging.
I've reached this decision not only to lesson the mental and physical stress on myself, but to also foster a more inclusive and laid back style of support. For too long I felt like having strict tiers that locked you into a specific amount may have caused some to shy away, or feel they weren't getting what they paid for; I understand this and hear you loud and clear. I truly hope this new system can be more beneficial for everyone, and on a very positive note we have a much more active discord and I'm active 3-5 times a week over on Twitch.tv when I'm not uploading content to Youtube. This allows me to have more real time interaction with everyone, via chat or even discord during multiplayer events where patrons are invited to chat as we play certain games such as Golf With Your Friends or Mario Kart. The list will always be growing and changing, so there'll always be something for everyone.
I realize for some, this change may come as a shock. I am eternally grateful for all the love and support you've shown me since the very beginning, and for allowing me to pursue my dreams of content creation and music. With some very big things on the horizon, including the new album "Rebirth" I'm creating with Run, Definitely Run!, I can promise you some very exciting stuff is about to come to fruition thanks to every single one of you. I'm optimistic these changes will simplify the entire Patreon experience for many of you, as well as allow me to bring you types of entertainment I used to think was impossible.
Thank you for sticking with me, and I hope I can continue to make your days a little brighter, and your smile a little wider. Stay fuzzy, stay safe, and I'll talk to you soon.
