So...Apparently Patreon is Having Some Trouble
🕑 Added 2020-08-02 19:28:57 +0000 UTCWhich is unfortunate. The plan is that, if Patreon does go belly up (hopefully it won't come to that), I will at some point post where I'm next setting up in the news section at my website bombtehsite.net. I would hope that my patrons would somehow find me. It would be one HELL of a set back, but hopefully we could work through it.

Omg so what will happen? We need to change to other sites for subscription?

By your suggestion, setting up a donate button itself is easy. Everything after that though...not as straight forward.

how hard would it be to just set up a pay/donate botton that is with paypal from your site. just like your games are but when you donate your get a link/password to download X=games and every month just change the password. other then that I guess your need a blog?? or a something, Discord.

I heard Subscribestar or Pixiv Fanbox might be some options

I really REALLY hope it doesn’t come to that
Sounds like they've been banning in a way that's similar to censorship. Their old TOS forced arbitration, which just completely screwed them over in the case. They also changed their TOS during the case, and the changes are illegal under California law, opening them to even more court cases. https://reclaimthenet.org/final-ruling-patreon-owen-benjamin-injunction-denied/
Might be a kind of oldschool solution, but maybe set up something like a mailing list? You can use it as sort of a backup for sending news through Patreon, and if they do end up shutting down in the future, you can just swap to the mailing list til you find a new site (or stick with your existing site).

Is it some new policy Patreon is placing?
