 For the first time ever, Battlesnake will operate entirely independently. No investors or corporate partners, just myself and a small team of core volunteers that want to make Battlesnake better _**on our own terms**_, with no outside demands or influence.
 
-This is a big and admittedly scary change, but I believe it is the right one for this community that I've grown to love so much.
+This is a big, scary change, but I believe it is the right one for this community that I've grown to love so much.
 
 As part of this plan, Battlesnake is now solely responsible for our own expenses, including the hosting costs required to keep the game engines and servers running, the services required to operate, and our annual banking, accounting, and legal fees. This is where we need your help 🙂
 
 ## How you can support Battlesnake.
 
-I'm humbly asking the community to help by considering sponsoring Battlesnake directly - either as an individual or an organization. I can’t offer much in return besides a promise that Battlesnake will continue to exist, and that I will continue to develop it in a way that’s [true to my vision](https://play.battlesnake.com/mission).

-I’ve enabled our [GitHub sponsorship page](https://github.com/sponsors/BattlesnakeOfficial) with some suggested amounts. If you’re having fun playing, or have enjoyed Battlesnake in the past, even a $5 or $10 subscription goes a long way. My immediate goal is $1,000/month to comfortably cover our operating costs. My ultimate goal is to get back to a place where I can work on Battlesnake full-time.

-If you’re a supportive organization or tech company that would like to help, I’d be deeply grateful. I'm open to new ideas and have a few unique rewards we can offer, such as custom designed Battlesnake heads and tails. To be clear though, we are not selling advertising slots or recruiting opportunities at this time.

Supplies are not infinite, and if needed we'll be offering them to folks on a first-come-first-serve basis.
 
-We really like this idea as a way to say thank you to the community for your support, and if it goes well we'll improve on it for next year 👍
