Patreon vs. Apple

Heya!

So there’s a little something that’s been going around on the news and social media lately and I would like to address it directly for my Patreon Pals and followers. The better to clear up any misinformation.

Starting November 1st, Apple is requiring that Patreon switch to their iOS in-app purchase system or risk being removed from the App Store. As a result, Apple will be applying their 30% App Store fee to all new memberships purchased in the Patreon iOS app.

Because Apple’s gonna Apple.

You can read the full article HERE, but the two most important takeaways are:

1. Your current memberships will NOT increase. This will only apply to new memberships made after November 1st and via the iOS Patreon app.

2. You can bypass this after November by joining Patreon via your web browser.

Meaning, if any iOS users want to get grandfathered in under the old payment structure, now’s the time to join! And I’m giving away these free bonus eBooks all the rest of October so there’s a carrot to go with that stick!

Join by the date shown to get the ebook, join by Monday the 14th to get all 4!

And that’s on top of all the regular perks of membership like:

⚔️ First look at new pages of The Canon of Vangel and other comics projects.

⚔️ Access to my +1000 page archive of comics.

⚔️ Behind the scenes, work in progress images, speed drawings videos, commissions, and more!

Even though Apple’s trying to stick it to its users and affiliates, it’s still a great time to join your favorite Patreon and help make your favorite creations possible.

See you on the other side and happy spooky season!

Be good!

But not too good 🎃
