A casual reminder that I rely on your funding through Patreon to stay alive

By - | Views: 21,931
Thanks to everyone who is already funding, I have been able to put out more interesting stuff than I ever could be before. Here's a small reminder that I rely on you guys to keep GOL going!

The Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/liamdawe

I'm already amazed at the level of support I have and I hope more decide to support me in future too.

I provide HTTPS for free by default for everyone (as it should be), all features are generally available to everyone (apart from the dark theme), the ability to set how many comments you see per-page, the release calendar and so on.

I am also committed to never hiding any content behind a paywall, that will simply never happen here.

Without your help, GOL would simply not be here. Thanks to you guys we now have a pretty damn good server with people at hand to fix server-side issues, allowing me more time to just get stuff done.

One thing my Patreon supporters have asked of me is to do more interviews, so I am working on that. I already published one today with the developer of Tether. I have another one pretty much ready and an interview with Feral will be hopefully coming soon too. I am hoping to line up at the very least one interview every single month from now on.

What I don't want to do is remind people about Patreon all the time (I just want to get on with it and do it), as I know it can be annoying. I haven't put out an article asking for support since March and won't do again for some time.

Also a sidenote: When people decide to stop funding, they can enter a comment to explain why. I am never able to see who it's from, and it's entirely optional but one caught my eye:
Anonymous PersonNo longer comfortable pledging to an individual when the site is build on the content/contributions of many

I actually found that quite interesting! So I wrote a script which you can now find here to see who has done what (along with other fun info). Hopefully that gives a clear idea of my commitment here.

To be clear on this one: anyone who contributes to GOL does so out of their own free time because they want to. They do get the offer of free keys when I have them too. I am extremely appreciative of anyone who contributes anything, be it articles or funding.

Thank you for your support and keep buying awesome Linux games! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

You see this screen: http://imgur.com/a/96JnZ

The box allows you to change the pledge amount in it, did you not get that?

Thank you for supporting!

I had to pledge $5 first and confirm. Then I went to the "Your Pledges" page, "Edit Pledge" and got the screen you're showing. But it didn't show up for the first pledge, I don't know why, ans as I said I might have missed something.
