Honestly this is going to be catastrophic on Epic’s brand perception and marketplace sales will plummet.

Fab is awful, it’s full of ■■■■■. The filters are worse than the original market, it’s full of scams thanks to lack of reviews.
Is this what epic wanted? A dumping ground of tacky ai crap and outdated junk?
Rip market place… this is worse.
I’ll stick to Orbital, designed by someone who has common sense.

Well well well, “an Evolution of the Unreal Engine Marketplace”
Sadly the first impressions about Fab are almost only negative, mostly feels like an involution and this is really sad. Just have hopes in the future you will try to make it better and this is very necessary.

I published a product yesterday and it didn’t show up in a new tab or the current one. This is just nonsense. If the search engine doesn’t work, that’s good. If it happens later, that’s nonsense. The main page has the same authors. There is no sale tab. Sorting by stars is stupid, you need to do 4 stars or more.
The search system is not welcoming to the buyer. You need to go into the settings on the right and poke a bunch of search parameters, and all this should be automatically offered during the search, engine, product category, rating, price. Open any successful online store, there are examples of a well-thought-out, friendly interface.

…what kind of nonsense is this? There are many cases from now with the ~10-25x of the previous (“Personal”) price, this is just greedy as hell and not a viable option for an indie team with a new project in progress above $100k rev from previous games (like ours)…
How could we purchase for example 10 asset packs to save some modeling hours in production for like ~$10-15k? 
I guess we won’t do that. Jeez, what a letdown…

At least your other products are showing up… I have over 60 asset packs, but only one is visible on my profile 
. When I try to search for one of my packs, I find almost all of my other packs - except the one I’m actually looking for (even when using the full asset pack title). There are so many features missing…
I mean, who cares? Nobody will buy this crap, right? Please tell me there aren’t people who’d actually buy this kind of stuff. 
If buyers avoid creators like this one, the ‘normal creators’ might get a few more sales, which is definitely a good thing

Yeah, there are some well-intentioned sellers out there and some others have a little more expensive price-tags, like this one for example:
…this is kinda acceptable, I guess? Not a very steep price hike from the “Personal” license, but the above mentioned ones are… oh boy… those are just soul-killer stuff!
I really hope some of them will find a much better, somewhat balanced pricing in the future.

I bet you with time it will stabilize on something. From sellers perspective: we didn’t really know what to put in there. I did 2x, but some did 0.25x and some did 10x. Unfortunately there was no good communication or guidelines for setting this from Epic (aside from explaining that pro one is for people above $100k - and I bet you what $100k entails was totally different for different sellers in our heads).

Wish list:
I would like to have a back button from the single view of an asset to the asset overview page.
Sidelist with my last viewed assets
I would like to click on several assets for a list and then go through them with buttons.
Asset bundles of assets from the same creator and art.
Overview on the whole monitor. Use the wide screen (like pinterest)!
Where are all the megascans? I claimed them and looking in fab and cant find some of the ones i Need example “a large Cactus” only 3 things show up…

If they don’t want money that’s their choice. You can easily pay someone else to make exactly what you want at that point.
Yeah, that is pretty much true at that point, sadly…
i agree Marketplace was way better wish they would dump this garbage and go back

Hello
The section UE Marketplace will be renamed to UE Fab?
Thanks.

My god, FAB is a complete failure. Whoever decided to release this now should be slapped.
Who made the decision?
It’s so slow.
The whole point of Megascans was that you could hunt through vast libraries are experiment and iterate quickly - it brought back that sense of immediacy into art that Unreal is known for.
Now, using FAB, it’s nothing more than a shambolic, horrendous Paean to corporate greed and stupidity.
Just constantly waiting for thumbnails to update and I can’t even type full search words. Where I used to look for some decent shiny concrete, now I am getting hundreds of expensive amateur junk items that just take so long to fill the screen - I can barely scroll through them.
I can’t even use this.
Maybe it worked when you were all showing it off to your bosses and slapping yourselves on the back for how clever you were to monetize it - but actually using it on a project is awful Truly awful.
Everyone involved, and everyone who didn’t speak up about this should be ashamed of themselves.

I want “floor linoleum” and you’re offering up “modular synth UI pro”?
And it is unusably slow. I can’t even just scroll through this pile of dross to find what I need.

Brilliant, and now I clicked on the Youtube preview of a niagara smoke item… and I had to log into Youtube via FAF in Unreal - there are no back buttons.
So now FAB has just become a youtube browser with not way to navigate away.
For crying out loud!
