    That’s why you should not use or install the app

    I understand you mean that we should use the webpage instead, right?

    Yes. Cut out the middleman that is just there to take money and doesn't offer anything extra.

    Yeah I agree, but their comment might have been read as if they were criticising patreon itself, since for a lot of people the concept of "app" is the whole service. That's why I asked for clarification while directing them to the good outcome :)

    As an ex-apple fan girl I have cancelled all of my apple services and am moving mostly to self hosted services.

    How is that even possible?
    They can charge for the app in their app store, but how can they take a cut from the paid subscriptions of another company?

    Why TF is using Patreon via an app anyway?

    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.
