Patreon has completely broken user pages from Russia.
Hello,
Unfortunately, Patreon has removed Russia from the list of primary residences when filling out the tax form, which means it's impossible to complete the form registration and doesn't allow any withdrawals, even if a working PayPal account is linked to the page.
That's why I'm currently promoting my Lava.top page on Patreon ( https://app.lava.top/shinesl ) since they still have a working PayPal option (unfortunately, it's been broken on Boosty for a long time, otherwise I would promote it specifically), and by the end of next month, I'll be summing up the results.
If too few people switch to lava.top, alas, I'll have to pause work on the game until better times. I could, of course, take a risk and continue raising money on Patreon in the hopes of withdrawing it someday (as I did before), but two months ago they blocked all Russian IP addresses, and now this... And if I had a very substantial sum in their account right now (and sometimes sums of 3-5 thousand dollars accumulated there), I would be in a very sad situation right now. Luckily, only a little more than a month's income was blocked, and I can do a refund (since the money is still fresh, about 400 dollars), but conclusions must be drawn, and I'm afraid I can no longer trust their online resource as I did before.
Regarding Boosty, I would now recommend stopping all active subscriptions, since I may go on indefinite leave at the end of next month, and I don’t know how to pause donation collection on Boosty. I hope this doesn't happen, but everything is now in the hands of my Patreon patrons, I gave them an alternative, but if they decide en masse not to use it, they will make a choice, and I will react to it.
Thank you for your attention and I apologize for this whole situation, unfortunately, I cannot influence it in any way due to the fact that I am just an ordinary Internet user, like many of you.
