Hi. So i think it can be a good money to sell your assets. But here a legal question.
Do i sell one item unlimited times or only to one customer?
Like because it must be someone’s and 1000 people can’t use the same character in their games. Or do i just give access like marvel selling their license?
Is there any license types? Like main characters - only can be sold once,
clouds, trees, etc - unlimited, etc?
Thank you
if you sell something on the marketplace the marketplace licence is applied and the pack will go to 1 buyer and he can’t redistribute the asset , the character packs are mostly a placeholder for all the projects and the buyer can modify the asset in external programs so it’s fine
Not to just one, the pack will go to anyone buying it.
by 1 buyer i mean you can’t give it to other friends if you buy it except for the team involved in the same project
I think it works as 1 studio, one product. Its a bit of a grey area from all the legal stuff ive seen. But if EA buys your pack, they can give it to all 5000 employees. But its also like a shared license agreement. They own the rights to USE your content. But so does every other customer who buys it. And you can have hundreds or thousands of customers. But its illegal for them to sell it individually.
Hello people, extremely new here (First post).
Is it my understanding that if i buy something on the marketplace i can use it in my game and i’m allowed to sell that game for profit? (not the item bought individually of course)
*I buy some cool thing for $100.(On market place)
*I integrate it into my game.
*I can sell game for profit?
Cheers
Yes you can sell your game for profit.
When you buy something from the market place you acquire a license to the said asset which will allow you to use this asset in your games (free or paid). You can use a purchased asset in UE4 or other Engines - except Free content released by Epic which should only be used in UE4 projects. Its a one time payment and you do not need to pay any royalties afterwards. However it does NOT allow you to re-sell the asset separately.
