Regarding changes to Patreon charges
Added 2017-12-08 16:03:53 +0000 UTCSome of you might already heard of the changes.
From what I understand, Instead of creators, patron will have to cover transaction fee. Starting December 18th.
I understand that this will upset a lot of patron. I wish I have a solution to this change :(
So if you're upset about the changes and want to cancel or lower your pledge, I understand(your livelihood comes first)

Apparently they listened to what sounds like overwhelming negative feedback, and cancelled the changes, so good news! With that in mind, not planning to cancel my pledge anytime soon anyhow, so carry on!

2017-12-18 14:39:46 +0000 UTCall of this sucks! Patrons new fees along with the fact that i live in a country that cost me $2 for every 1$US means that it really can't support you anymore at the level i want to. all this is going to do is make piracy even more of a viable alternative. which hurts you in the long run. ether they revert it back to what is now and let the creators take the 43% hit or make it a 20%/23% split between supports and creators. if they don't the only other way is for A) you to make a lot more content to cover the extra cost we have to pay, that well lead to burnout on your part and none of us want that. so for now all i can do is lower my pledge to the lowest there is it sucks but i got too. maybe you can open for commissions again some time. doubt i'd get 1 since the slots go so fast...
