We do offer direct means for customers to engage with us.
You can also license our tools via GitHub Sponsor and Patreon and since the shovelware explosion that is FAB … FAB is really not even a blip on our radar in terms of traffic and revenue. Even if it was though I would hope Heathen as a company would still take the same stance and not support or be party to a platform that doesn’t’ have a clear policy and procedure for dealing with these factors.
And as noted FAB frankly even if it was “clean” isn’t fit for purpose, no written review or similar voice for the consumer. And no means to vN+1, paid upgrade, subscription or similar so we simply cant fully conduct business via FAB anyway.
Don’t get me wrong
The idea of FAB at least as we understood it is great
A unified platform and storefront for hobbyists and professionals to find quality content for any engine is a GREAT idea.
But FIRST AND FORMOST it needs to be trustworthy that means Epic has to be ACTIVE in making and keeping the store clean.
That mess we saw on Sketch and similar is wholly inappropriate and has no place on what FAB could have been. Since we can’t trust the content on FAB our customers can’t trust the content on FAB and we don’t want be associated with that
FAB is acting like Wish … don’t want that won’t be party to that
