$600 for a fully rigged modular character model is not particularly expensive. If you were to contract that work out, you’d pay more than that.

Money is the way that our society decides who gets to tell whom what to do with their time and assets. More money, means you can influence more people more of the time. The amount you have to pay has to be equal to the time and assets involved in the work you want done.
As for “nobody wants my $50,” perhaps the problem is that the difference between $50 and $0, when it takes may days or weeks to create the asset, just isn’t material?

$600 for a fully rigged modular character IS particularly expensive for amateur game dev/game dev hobbyist, especially when many other assets are required. Its also difficult to find artist who are interested in creating such assets. Very little interest showed here. I’ve purchased from Asset Stores in the past, but, desire customization nowadays.

Why not sell a fully rigged modular character for $30 to 200 customers world-wide non-exclusively ($6000) and supply it with parts? There is no variation limit. There is no time limit to produce Assets for a Asset store. I can see the need for these types of Assets. Thus, my UE4 Project will be building a team of non-traditional modeler/animators to fill this niche.
