It’s on the list of things that the team wants to provide in Fab. We know it’s manual for sellers, and it’s also manual for our team, so we want to provide sellers with more control.
That’s a longstanding request from our backlog that we brought over to Fab. I’m not sure if it will make it to our initial release, but it’s on the list of things we want to address.
There are certain decisions and actions that sellers will need to make. I expect a new distribution agreement acceptance, more licensing and pricing options that sellers will need to choose, and an updated taxonomy for content to allow for better discovery. We want to streamline it as much as we can for sellers. However, UE Marketplace sellers have already done Tax Identification and Hyperwallet setup, so I don’t expect sellers to need to go through those steps again.
The Fab team wants to give buyers improved discovery tools in general, and being able to exclude certain things from searches is part of that. I expect that buyers will have the ability to exclude content tagged as CreatedWithAI from their searches.
If you have knowledge of this, please report it privately to us, and we’ll investigate.
Yes, it’s very high on the list of features we want to add.
We’re exploring this.
We are looking at options to remove abuse or gamification of the Review system in the future. I agree that the behavior you describe isn’t healthy to our community.
I appreciate the suggestion. We’re looking at how we can balance the earned trust and reviews that sellers have earned, but making sure that we’re welcoming to new sellers.
The Fab team is working on the details internally, but have no intention of doing anything that will disrupt ongoing development for teams that have used the UE Marketplace to acquire content.
While I disagree with the statement that we’re fraught with piracy, it is true that there’s been a few high profile products that have recently been in IP disputes. I imagine we’ll have more to say on this topic in the future, but for now, please know that I see the concern of you and others on this topic.
I appreciate the comment, and I’ll pass your feedback along.
I think we’re caught up for the moment. Thanks to those of you participating in this thread, and to those who came by the Fab booth at GDC to say hello, ask questions, and give feedback. I’ve tried to answer your questions to the best of my ability, but please know that we’re in active development, and things will change. We also won’t have 100% of all the features that we want on Day 1, and some features will come online after our initial launch.
As we go through this process, we’ll have more to say to buyers and sellers to help prepare for the Fab launch later this year.
