Info Change to Upfront Payment
Added 2021-08-27 10:35:20 +0000 UTCHello Hexxet here,
At the start of the month we had a poll on whether to swap to upfront payment or not and no one was really against it. The time has come to finally do the switch. Note that this will have no impact on your way of payment. The next payment will be as usual at the start of the next month and it will already count for the month of September. This only changes that new patreons have to pay as soon as they join up. There are actually three reasons for switching to upfront payment now:
1.) There were some cases of people joining and leaving repeatedly without paying. For example to get free access to the last Patreon only Extra Side-Story. Now since the patreon only content will increase in the future and since fullfilled goals lead to Early Access already for Enthusiast Tier members (in comparison to the public version) I plan to protect my content with this measure.
2.) It's easier to keep track of how many patreons actually are here (goal fullfillment) and who to attribute in the Thank You pages of my pdfs. (Connessoir Tier benefit).
3.) With the introduction of Commissions (which will be handled by a Commission Tier here on Patreon) this is a neccassary step, because I want that commission money in advance before commiting to a whole comic.
The change to upfront payment will be done on August 31.
