WOO-HOO! Patreon won’t change their fee structure in the proposed way:
This wouldn’t have been possible without the help of all people who wrote mails to Patreon or communicated their condemnation of Patreon’s new fee structure in some other way. So once again: Thank you to all of you!

I’m hoping that my (and others) pointing out that charging the CC processing fees directly to the customer is illegal in 10 US states had something to do with it as well.
I’m so glad this didn’t happen. Eventually everyone would’ve made their way to a new platform, but it would’ve caused a lot of grief for a lot of creators. I support a decent number of people who pretty much solely rely on Patreon, and I’d hate to see any of them have to stop their work over something so silly.
WOO!
As somebody who hopes to start a Patreon in maybe 6 months, this makes me feel better about it.
It’s so strange that these days, a demand isn’t fulfilled because it’s logical, right and just, but only if you get enough people screaming loud enough…
beware “assessing other options”, this sounds like what EA did with SWBF2’s microtransactions

I was thinking the same thing. Their other options could be just as bad if not worse. But why the sudden money grab? Have big companies suddenly gotten a bad case of “EAism”?
I get the feeling some “investors” got to have a say in how they did things without asking their client base or their lawyers. Lets hope those “schmartties” get what they deserve out back of the barn. XD
Guess “EAing” must be in season.
