Patreon is another player in the digital realm, apart from Spotify and Epic Games, that has recently pivoted following the latest court ruling. The spokesperson for Patreon revealed to The Verge that the company is gearing up to release an app update on the App Store, allowing users to make payments through alternative channels other than Apple. The advantage here is that creators on Patreon will receive full payment without Apple’s 30% cut.
Just a year ago, Patreon was coerced by Apple to only accept payments through in-app systems, leading to a mandatory price increase for creators as a compensatory measure with no other choice. The tight squeeze endured for a whole year seems to have been lifted now.
