GamingOnSteam covers SteamOS, Steam hardware and the games built for the platform. The website and YouTube channel work together, and both take time, testing and real effort. We want to keep everything clean, fast and focused, which means avoiding heavy advertising. The aim is to run the site with no ads at all, or if necessary, the smallest amount possible. To make that realistic, we use Patreon to support both the website and the channel.
Community support lets us buy games for review, test hardware properly and spend more time creating guides, performance breakdowns and news coverage. It helps us stay independent and removes the pressure to chase clicks or fill the site with distractions. Nothing is locked behind a paywall and nothing changes for anyone who chooses not to join. Patreon simply helps us keep improving what we do.
The Patreon system is shared between the channel and the website, so your support benefits the full project. The tiers are simple and designed to suit different levels of involvement.
The SDG Supporter tier is two dollars a month. It is the most affordable way to help out and goes directly towards game purchases and review costs. Supporters also get access to our community Discord.
The SDG Enthusiast tier is five dollars a month. Enthusiasts get priority replies, early access to the SDG Companion App, a dedicated Discord role and a thank you mention in our videos. It is a way to support the project more directly while being part of the community.
The SDG Ultimate Fan tier is ten dollars a month. This tier is for people who want to be more involved. Members can vote on upcoming content, request topics, get work in progress updates and enter giveaways with an extra chance. It includes a private community space, priority replies and an exclusive Discord role.
