I’m not sure how I feel about this either.

I’ve never been a fan of “exclusivity”  it tends to be bad for consumers forcing them to use a specific platform. I assume the creators are getting a better deal out of this hopefully. Then again Pateron basically was the same thing.

MMF does seem to be the place to have digital minis, I’ve had one or two Kickstarter that’s released their files on there. As a service it works, it hopefully will provide that longer-term storage of files, I still download everything and have at least 3 backups across various locations (but I’m a bit OCD like that).

One thing that slightly worries me about MMF is its slowly becoming the go-to place, which in its self isn’t bad but the service is severely lacking polish, it is functional but still looks and feels like an initial backroom project. That again isn’t a bad thing but it slightly worries me about the investment and longer-term longevity of the platform.
