New payment system
Added 2018-06-19 22:18:09 +0000 UTCDon't be alarmed, this won't affect current Patrons.
Hey, so Patreon recently enabled the "charge up front" feature. Which basically means that NEW Patrons, charge immediately when they become it.
I've not yet enabled this feature since I thought that it would be important to get your input before that. This will NOT affect current Patrons, they will still be charged on the 1st, monthly.
The reason I want to enable this feature is mainly to grant the 15$ and 20$ reward immediately. But also to keep people from becoming 15$+ Patrons and then removing it before they are charged. I honestly don't mind that people "illegally" download my game. I just want to keep the Patron rewards to actual Patrons as a thank for their support.
I really want your input on this. Do you want me to keep it like it is? Because if I do, I might figure out some other way to keep people from leeching Patreon only content. Or do you want me to enable it?

Only makes sense for you, can't think of a reasonable reason not to.
