Upcoming Changes to Mega64 Patreon Tier 1

Everything is going to get worse. TONS of microtransactions incoming.

Just kidding! 

We are making some upcoming changes to the Mega64 Patreon Tier 1. This place, for us, has flourished into something we truly enjoy and want to further make the most of. When we first started out here, we didn't really know what to do or how to use it best. But over the years, it's become a genuinely enjoyable place for us to do more niche shows, release stuff that wouldn't have a comfortable home elsewhere, and much more. So to that end, our first thing we should say is THANK YOU! A huge thanks for continuing to show support here and stick around to see what we do.

We have been increasing our output here more and more over recent months: 

• Friendimension and Movie Club have both seen their most successful AND lengthiest episodes yet. This will continue weekly in 2023!
• We are massively upping the amount of regular "Mega64 Vault" video releases.
• Shawn has a new album review series coming to the Patreon very soon!

And all that is the tip of the iceberg- So of course, we want to continue making stuff like this (and using your support for bigger projects as always, too!). To continue doing that going forward, we are changing the price of our Tier 1 option.

We have to say upfront that we have resisted raising the price of ANY of our tiers... and we haven't for YEARS. We have always been obsessed (maybe to a fault) with making sure everyone gets their money's worth at Mega64. 

Starting March 1 2023, the NEW Tier 1 (featuring all the new stuff we mentioned above) will be $5 a month. If you're already on the current Tier 1, you will need to move over to the new one by the end of February to continue seeing all the exclusive media. This new amount is basically the default for most Patreons now (which, again, we still resisted as long as possible), and most Patreons don't even offer the amount of stuff we do on a monthly basis. As much as we balk anytime we have to raise the price, we definitely think we are providing a worthwhile project here to earn the extra $3.

And let us be even more frank- you don't need us to be the thousandth person/company/entity/whatever to tell you that the cost of everything has gone up. It's affected everybody- and yeah, that includes our company. Everyone has had to adjust or make changes, and we obviously are too. But we didn't want to budge a thing until we were confident you would get a monthly experience everyone could be proud of. We really like what we're doing, and we hope you enjoy experiencing it just as much.

Tier 2 and 3 are currently not changing- any changes in the near future will be announced here first just like this. We're still catching up on the physical gifts from during the major manufacturing slowdowns, but the good news is that a lot of that has subsided and is coming out much faster now. All the remaining packages that need to go out will be doing so soon, and we'll be totally caught up!

We hope you can understand our decisions here- as always we want to be as candid and honest as possible with you guys. We like when you are with us too. Please let us know anything else you would like to see more (or less) of on our Patreon!

Once again: THANK YOU!
