That is true for “content”
That is not true for tools, systems, frameworks
FAB, Marketplace, UAS, etc. offer more than just 3D models, 2D images, etc.
For tools, integrations, systems and frameworks there is an ongoing cost to development and maintenance and support is a cost that should be provided for as well.
FAB at current is completely not fit for purpose for anything other than artwork honestly. So its Adobe Stock but for game dev basically
That is not what it has to be limited to but that is what they have by design limited it to. If they want to foster tools, integrations, etc. then they need a means by which developers and publishers can monetize the service of ongoing development and support. Subscription is a fine option, Paid Updates which is just subscription by a different name is a hack option but works okay … what they have at the moment is Goose Egg … Nothing
