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: KuJohttps://graphtreon.com/creator/liamdaweThe trend overall has been good yes :), I'm hoping it continues! The more support I get, the more I'm able to do! We're still far away from the resources other sites have that's for certain, especially since we have no adverts, no pay walls, no timed articles or anything of the sorts. I am committed to keeping it that way too :)
This looks quite good. Or not?

With my current economy I cannot really support the patreon, but I would opt-in to ads if you made them an optional feature and if they are not super annoying. Especially ads for linux friendly hardware and linux games wouldn't be too bad. I also think that large gaming companies can afford to give you some money, e.g. you accept if they offer, but you don't let it affect your articles in any way, except 1-2 sentences thanking them for the support. If you are up front about it, then they will know what they get in advance.

Things like google adsense get blocked by the majority of people, back when we had them around 80% of people blocked them it wasn't worth it.
As 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'm happy with Patreon, it's really the most sane option, as long as it doesn't start drying up :)

Good to see that the PayPal option is back. I wish I was in a stable financial position to restart my monthly donation, but unfortunately I'm not, and probably won't be until next year, maybe sooner. :(

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 ;-).

I already support via Patreon. Just to avoid misunderstandings.
But as Solar already writes: Against discreet advertising which does not occupy 75% of the screen and which fits well to the theme of the website I would have nothing.
In the Google ads, for example, you can adjust from which area you want to have advertising. And Google AdSense determines I think automatically to the page matching ads:
https://www.google.com/adsense/
You could point out in the postings in which you remind of the support via Patreon also point out that for GOL should be inserted a exception into the Adblocker.
I have already done this for various pages, because I consider support as useful.
