Reply To: Another Patreon down

Another content creator appears to be leaving Patreon – interestingly, this time, rather than move over onto another platform, they’ve built an entire cloud-based storage system themselves.

I fully understand the business case for building and running your own infrastructure (as a developer of *cough* years, I’m a big fan of doing so myself) – but it does feel like, at some point soon, we’re going to need some kind of “curator” to pull all  these separate sites together, to make it easier for customers to find and buy their minis, if things continue in this vein…?

(the pedant in me also finds umbridge in their claim that 2,000 people have “left patreon” when, in truth, they’re more likely now to be a user of *both* sites – not exactly *leaving* patreon at all – some may have been exclusive Heroes Infinite supporters, but I suspect a large majority aren’t).
