Kind of expected it to be a misunderstanding to be honest… never be too quick to jump the gun!

Hi everyone,

It is not our policy to restrict people from using Battle Royale. Using the term Battle Royale is fine because it has emerged as a video game genre.

The marketplace team has a longstanding policy that we won’t allow content on the marketplace if it’s listed in a way that is going to be confusing for buyers. “Paragon Rocks” would be an issue, for example, if we thought that people would think this was Epic created content.

However, we also let people use genre descriptors in their packs (Deathmatch, CTF, etc). I think this is the first time those two things have intersected, which is what caused the issue. It was the intent of the reviewer to recommend a change to the name in order to avoid confusion, but not require it. However, that doesn’t come across in the review, so we’ll update the review feedback to clearly flag when there’s a recommendation.

I would like to point out that the pack was not sent back to the seller specifically because of its use of “Battle Royale” in the title. The seller received feedback for other issues, and we’re working with him to have a successful release.

I apologize to ToxinGaming and our community that we’ve created this confusion and concern, and we’ll work to do better next time.

Thanks,
Josh

Thank you for the update. All I wanted was some clarification. Yes, I am fixing my submission for the other issues.

Thanks again for looking into it.
