If you click on the link they cited to Patreon's "official" announcement and look closely at the URL, you can catch that the website isn't actually patreon- It's "news-patreon.com", so it looks like it should be the news extension of patreon's website.
As a developer myself with plans to release pixel-art NSFW games through f95zone for free with hopes of support through patreon, I'm curious, what % of people on f95zone actually support NSFW game developers through patreon? Is the fear of the April Fools joke merge because people don't want to ever support developers through patreon, or is it that they simply want the option of having everything free on f95zone, etc?

Some sentences are in bold for emphasis.
Fzone has more leeway on allowing content, whereas Patreon has more restricted terms.
if i can recall, Patreon does not allow specific genres for content, such as incest for example. this being said, Fzone allows a much larger variety for genres for games. in all honesty, the majority of the games on Fzone are free to download through download mirror links. Patreon requires a person to become a patron and membership is also required. i would much rather get a game for free in more convenient means through a simple download rather than having to pay for a game.
here is an article that discusses and touches more on Patreon's terms.
You must be registered to see the links
you will have to scroll down a little bit, but look for the section that pertains to this specifically: "More specific Adult/18+ category guidance and clarity"
honestly after just reading the section i was referring to, i hope Fzone never chooses to acquire for Patreon, Patreon's terms not only are strict, but technically Patreon does not favor adult content. Fzone always will and that is what makes them a better adult community.
i hope the information i provided was resourceful to you.

There are over 7 million registered accounts on F95. There are, at most, 1/10th that number of paid subscribers to adult game creators on Patreon.
Even in the highly improbable event that all adult game Patreon subscribers also have registered accounts on F95, that means at least 90% of all F95 accounts do not contribute to adult game creators. If only half of the paid subscribers have F95 accounts, then that's at least 95% who don't subscribe.
And it's probably closer to between 1 in 4 and 1 in 10... which would mean 97%-99% of F95 accounts do not subscribe to adult game creators on Patreon.
People want things free. That's why the vast majority come here - to not compensate anyone for any adult game they play. There is a minority which do support developers with subscriptions. Also, for a new developer, F95 is one avenue of marketing that they should consider to build brand and product awareness (but isn't the only avenue). But with over 17,000 games listed on this site, it's getting harder for any single developer to break through the noise.

very well said and succinctly observed.
free is the best way to go, when i want free porn i get it free, when i want free software i get it free. you will be amazed what your mind can do, as for me i am always thinking.

I am working on a VN myself and to be honest, I don't think most people can afford to pay plus it's a niche, and not everyone is into everything. You gotta try till you find the one you like and maybe support it if you can cough up the money. If Adult games were locked behind paywalls (mostly VN's), they wouldn't be anywhere near as big as they are today.
F95zone is one of the big reasons to why I want to make VN and ofc and the VN's that I played also inspired me. The majority of the devs make money through Patreon and Patreon will for sure not allow free updates here if they had bought F95zone, and also no incest content along with some other stuff because I guess for legal reasons they can't allow it. I think it's also a bad thing for new and smaller devs because if its locked behind a paywall, your content will get less exposure.
Also, F95 is the cleanest and most user-friendly site for adult games that I have seen, so kudos to the team behind it.
