I'm just wondering then why Apple would even push this if a president was already set with Epic. What a bunch of greedy corporate bastards.

Expecting Patreon to not want to bother fighting them over it, and they are correct in that assumption.

On Wednesday, Patreon said Apple has renewed its requirement that all Patreon creators must move to subscription billing. The deadline to do so is November 1, 2026.
