Patreon in Russia

[dense knot]

Unfortunately, Patreon is blocked in Russia and there are no ways to access it without breaking laws. Are there any alternative ways to support your game?

Move out. Georgia is beautyfull all year long

wait for game to be released on steam then

[oblique raptor]

I think that's also sanctioned to some degree.

You must wait for it to release on Steam. You can then make a Kazakhstan Steam account (it is fully allowed by Steam TOS to have multiple Steam accounts), add Kazakh currency to it via something like Qiwi, and then do one of three things:

1. Purchase game as a gift from Kazakhstan steam account and gift it to main account (this is allowed because Russia and Kazakhstan are both in CIS Steam region),
2. Purchase game on Kazakhstan Steam account and play it there as well
3. Purchase game on Kazakhstan Steam account and enable Steam Family Sharing with main account

As far as I know, this does not break any laws or terms of service

No

[silent lotus]

lmao you arent breaking any laws, the website blocks russian users, not the russian government

alternatively you can use VPN? Not sure

Problem here is that swift is pretty much gone, and patreon won't accept russian credit cards. So for that to work one would need to get card in other country or use service like pyypl (or similar virtual card service) then buy some cryptocurrency and then send it to virtual card. And only then you can use VPN and pay for patreon.
A lot of work to support the game basically. I think waiting for full release on steam is best bet in that situation. Because steam at least less painful option. (Sending money through qiwi with double conversion to tenge the to back to roubles, or using webmoney with double conversion to usd then to roubles.)

Or straight up using another steam account as @valid urchin suggested

paypal? Not sure if paypal works on patreon as im waiting for steam release

[fervent hemlock]

Also does not accept russian credit cards and also blocked all russian accounts as far as i know. Pretty much every service does not accept russian credit cards right now, with rare exceptions if any
