From the GOG newsletter: "A note about your GOG Patrons subscription"

Transcription as alt text for the image.

#GOG

**Dear Patron,** We want to let you know that due to a technical issue on our end, at least one of your GOG Patrons monthly subscription was not charged. We've since identified and resolved the problem. **Here's what this means for you:** • Your next subscription charge will go through as normal. • We will **NOT** retroactively bill you for the missed​period — consider it on us. • You don't need to take any action. ​We appreciate your continued support of GOG Patrons, and we're sorry for any confusion this may have caused. Warm regards, **The GOG Team**

A free month of... access to a discord server?

What exactly does GOG Patrons give me?

As a Patron, you'll get access to our dedicated community Discord server, featuring fun gaming-related activities and exclusive video content, plus special recognition across GOG in the form of unique badges and mentions on GOG Preservation Program game pages. Perks may grow or change over time, but we'll always communicate them clearly before you sign up.

I can't imagine GOG is losing much

    You had to scroll through a lot on your linked site to get to the part that you copied... It is not a service, it is more of a donation. Hence the name "Patron" I assume.

    Yeah, they’re so great for… not charging their monthly donation subscription twice?

    I'm pretty sure I knew that already. The other guy said they got a month "for free," which begs the question "what are you getting?"

    Nothing material in the sense that you imply. Access to the community, that's it.

    Thanks, but I'm pretty sure I already knew that too

    You were wrong and now you're barking at some other thing, a bit pathetic isn't it? It's not life threatening to say you misunderstood. It happens to all of us.
