Incoming Pricing & Benefit Changes!

Hi guys. Gatsby here. We've had a good first couple of months here on the Patreon, and now that I've had time to reflect on our progress, I'm ready to make a few adjustments.
These changes are based on the way I work, how often I'm able to provide content, and what I think is a more fair way to get you more rewards for your patronage.
- Pledging at the $1 tier will now get your name in the episode credits, a verbal shoutout, AND early access to the final(ish) drafts of each Bro-Op episode.
- Pledging $4 grants access to our archived vods, which are free to all for the first few days, but eventually disappear from Twitch. This is hours and hours of archived content.
- Pledging $8 grants access to weekly progress updates, including screenshots, episode clips, and the #behindthescenes discord text channel.
- Twitch Subscribers also get access to this text channel, and can browse much of the same content, but only through Discord. This discount is to promote popular streams from those that can attend. - Pledging $12 grants access to an additional 5-15 minute video along with each full episode release, collecting all of the deleted scenes not included in each full episode. This tier also grants access to never-before-seen content that will occasionally make its way to the public. Deleted scenes will stay patron-only.
- I am interested in changing our Patreon goal, and hosting a community game server for fans to use. This is pointless if I don't host some kind of monthly "Play with the Bro-Operatives" meet and greet type thing, but I really need to make sure we're capable of doing this first.
I do believe that I'd want access to the community server to be open to everyone on our Discord, but that the access would be gated to $16 contributors during community streams. Still working it out. Until this is sorted out, I would not be allowing anyone to contribute at the $16 tier. - Finally, our meme tier remains for people wanting to go above and beyond.
So what do you guys think? I am still open to comments, questions, and concerns, but unless I get any other vital feedback, I plan to implement these changes one week from now, on September 30th. Please feel free to change your contribution tier if you don't want to be overcharged for the level of content you'd like to receive.
tl;dr patron tiers are changing, take a look and change your pledge to whatever seems right for you.
edit: my image was unclear about one thing. Twitch subs don't get verbal shoutouts in videos. They get verbal shoutouts on Twitch when they sub. So there's some more distinctions for the price difference.
