Switching to "subscription payment"
Added 2022-10-20 13:05:17 +0000 UTCHello!
Just a little "sidenote". We changed the payment to the new subscription model which patreon.com introduced about a month ago or so.
That means if you want to become a patron today you don't have to think twice anymore :-)
For current patrons absolutely nothing changes. You will still be charged at the first of the month.
New patrons now will be charged on the day they joined. Not on the 1th of each month. E.g. if you become a patron today, 20. Oct., you should be charged again on 20. Nov. (ofc you can still cancel any time).
In the old model you would have been charged twice within 30 days if you join not at the 1. day of a month. So in this way the subscription model is more consumer friendly!
We switched now because it's already the 20. of the month and we just released a new non-patron version. It would have been a bit more elegant to do the switch on the 1. Nov., but this time it took a while before we got the "update-status" on f95zone. So we decided to switch now, on the day that we got the "update-status"
We struggled a bit with switching. There is an ongoing discussion in the creator community about the pros and cons of the different payment models. But since we don't have a super strict release schedule we believe that the subscription model is the best for both sides. The patrons don't pay twice within 30 days if they join at the end of the month and we don't have to think too much about our exact release date :-)
