Apple has set a new deadline of November 1, 2026 for all Patreon creators to switch from Patreon's legacy billing system to the App Store's in-app purchase system in the Patreon app on the iPhone and iPad, as reported by TechCrunch. Note: This image has been edited to include a pile of cash. Patreon is a platform where creators such as YouTubers can receive payments from fans, which can be a valuable revenue stream alongside ads and sponsorships.
Steam only takes a cut from MTX that use steam payment services (Steam Wallet), not from all MTX that occurs within software distributed on their platform like what apple is doing. Valve does not prevent developers from using alternatives if they don’t want to pay Valve for the convenience of using Steam Wallet.
