Without continued support from our amazing readers, we wouldn’t be able to continue doing what we do!
Please consider supporting me on Patreon, so that I can continue speaking to developers every day, posting news, reviews, editorials, making videos, previewing new games before they’re released and so on.
Sadly, this month we've had the most cancellations in a single month since we started. Not a large amount in comparison to our total though, thankfully. I'm hoping that trend doesn't continue, but of course everyone's situation changes so there's never any hard feelings! Thank you to all of you past, present and future supporters!
If you’re curious about how we’re doing as a site, I built this page for you to see what we’ve been up to recently.
I have plenty of plans for the website to keep improving it and plenty of articles in progress. I’m hopeful to continue on for many years to come!
Also, if you didn’t see from the recent Site Update post, we now have a daily article mailing list. If you sign up, you will get an email once a day with what we’ve posted! I’ve just adjusted that so it will ask for confirmation when you hit the unsubscribe link, since we don’t want accidental unsubscribes.
If you can’t do Patreon, we also have Paypal.
Thank you!
Ps. If you have feature ideas you think would really help, let me know any time. Email inbox is always open! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: liamdaweAs for accepting payment for thanking someone in an article for some kind of sponsorship, every single one I've come across did not want it known that they were sponsoring it. So it's a no-go.
I think those are the scummy casino/gambling ones , aren't they ?
Heard about them trying to infiltrate game sites/blogs and be discrete about getting players to come gamble.

Quoting: STiATJul 21, 2017:In terms of the exact amounts, the amount Patreon shows as a total is not exact, it's their guess based on cancellations, declined payments and so on, only I can see it in more detail. At time of posting it was the first month funding had gone down. Since then it has gone up a little, but overall we're still down compared with last month as it stands, thankfully not a lot thanks to the new supporters as of today.
Patreons: 311
Earnings per month: $1,219.38
Aug 1, 2017:
Patreons: 306
Earnings per Month: $1,215.10
Aug 21, 2017:
Patreons: 314
Earnings per month: $1,211.56
There was a one-time-high peak on July 31:
Patreons: 314
Earnings per month: $1,234.43
I'd say it was very stable over the past month, generally very stable since July. I can't see a trend which would require this post, but it's always good to remind the community ;-).
The trend comment was one part of an overall reminder about supporting. No need to read into it so much. However, if it did become a trend over multiple months it would be worrying, this was to preempt that happening. These reminder posts generally increase our support more than any other method.
The point is to try to gain more support, so we can continue and do more. I also work in £, so the overall result is actually lower for me.
Editing to be clearer :)

How can we donate some money specifically towards an HTC Vive for GOL? It would be great to see GOL being able to report on and test the progress of VR on Linux. Is it possible to setup a separate fund in your Patreon account, capped at the cost of a Vive, and where people could do one-off donations towards that cause? Just an idea.

Quoting: GuestIt's good you added Pay Pall. I don't want to be stuck with another monthly bill so I don't do Patreon, but I don't mind sending a payment or buying merchandise from time to time in order to support projects I enjoy.You may consider Patreon again. It's perfectly possible to place "one time orders". That's up to the user. A subscription is optional (granted, only if this wasn't restricted lately)

I don't see that option, at least not for Liam. As financially disadvantageous as it may be, I'd rather pay a lump sum of $60 than have a subscription for one year and pay 12 times $5. I just don't like to have my card charged for subscriptions, not even if unsubscribing is immediate. I'd even cancel Netflix if it were only up to me.

There is no need to go into so much detail. And I understand what you are trying to say however, a small dip in $ can be a huge dip in £.
*cough* tis other way round *cough :P
