FAB - Prices listed

[…Please, I would like to appologize for my bad english, I am not english person. Thanks…]

Hello everyone especially towards Epic executive or project management who is responsible for FAB project,
I would like to shouw you my view on your new released shop and my point of view which makes this new released project unfit for use.

NEW ADDED) ------- Let us allow remove / hide assets from Library ---------
This is well know ongoing problem, please if you cant do it in an normal way them please introduce and add some kind of pernament filter, where we will be able set what assets we can see in our general library and what we dont want to see…

  1. ------- “prices from 12$” ---------------
    Look, this information give me no value at all, because I am interested to see only profesional prices… Why I/we cant see what we need to see? And I am forced to every time click on an assets and then again click to uncover all prices.

SOLUTION. if you want to introduce “multi tier” prices then lets show us all of them before you click on any asset… or… it should be great to preset your default tier of prices

  1. ------- Megascan prices ------------
    I believe all world is happy to see, that megascan is still “free” (for standard license),
    But please, is it possible also release profesional tier prices for megascans please? I would really like to see final price ranges for your unreal created assest by quixel / megascan because they are probably the best “quality vs price”.

  2. -------- Marketplace with tier prices -------
    This is only my personal opinion / or view…, if someone want to charge a 300 for trees as a standard license and then 1000+ for a profesional license and they are selling only trees…

I believe this is a really hardcore, to see some assets / trees in range of 1000+ $ for proffesional license because for that money you can get 3Ds max or unreal or any other profesional sw for that money… and then you can create unlimited stuff.

(But OK yes, I can clearly understand that it is pain to create some really good looking assets… but…)

And my personal opinion and feeling is, if anyone create a new store without tiers prices as it was before fab releaes with unreal marketplace focused on Epic content, then I am happy to go there and start buying from them instead from fab (this is my honest opinion). (Because of selling trees for 1k is a little bit much from my view.)

But I can see your condition here in shop and I believe that you are prohibiting of selling Unreal engine Blueprints on other stores.

Thanks, this is a honest oppinion and intention is not to satisfly everyone.

NOTE: This is a really important point, I already bought some asset for 300 on your marketplace few years ago and then immediatelly I requested refund because seller use assets in preview that are not in the pack… Unfortunatelly you decliend my refund… And thanks to this, my position is that I will never ever buy any high price assets which I cant try outside of your marketplace, (because you declined my refund request)

  1. ------------ is there any way to set filter or restriciont for certain published assets? For an example I am interested to see only an realistic looking assets and not other anima / one color / a few color or low poly style assets ---------------

This tickbox would really help and clean a common assets towards a high quality assets and I believe people who is creating a high quality assets would appreciate this, that people can see only their superior assets instead mix it with others.

I have no problem with “anima / simple assets” for mobile phones,
but if you are focused on buying only high quality superior looking assets such as from megascan or other certain sellers, then unfortunatelly you need to skip approx 90% of assets, and this is a really time consuming … especially if store is not build to go through thousands assets per minute in your browser.

SOLUTION: just set category in which assets it is bellong to before an asset is published … for example “super realistic asset, low poly assets, anima one / a few color assets”

  1. ------------ fab plugin to UE -------------------
    I and I believe also many others hope that we will be able to use any assets from fab in 5.2.1 or any older versions, if not then me personally I will probably will not use fab at all…

thanks for understanding of this individual view frome one user and thanks to this you can see what people and other companies / developers asking themself what if new FAB support my UE version and what if UE ver is not supported in new FAB…
Thanks for considering this another important issue


Thank you and sorry for my honest review, I hope you can see my view and hopefully there will be some great updates as it is all the time in unreal engine development.

Thank you, with respect to developers that is working on unreal engine bugs and new features version that are super amazing.

And I would forget mentoin, thanks also and primarily towards datasmith developers and bridge developers, because without them I wouldnt be able to use unreal in first place. They are more important then unreal engine developers. Thanks to them that we are allowed easily import projects from other sofwares and also thanks to bridge easily apply textures to meshes with one click. Thanks without you it would be pain and probably impossible use unreal in first place.

Thank you for sharing you thoughts and experience, I share similar thoughts regarding fab
Everything you mentioned is really useful, at least for me

They did say that they will consider Custom Collection for Library in future.

I believe that market would stabilize in few months when actual sales start happening for Seller, Just Prefer Sellers which suites and Fit your price and Competition will force Rest (Since Sellers take inspiration and share experience with each other)

Also on Sidenote In my opinion they should make Licensing Tiers more Scalable Especially for Low End and High End (Example-Additional License like Educational/Non Commercial for Students or Indie with 0 revenue and Enterprise with 1M revenue / year )
In my Opinion it would be more Flexible since Student and Indie with 0 revenue would get decent discount and Enterprise would be charged more instead of Professional

I had similar experience in 2020 but at that time I contacted seller and he apologized and offered Refund, But after seeing Polite nature of Seller I declined Refund since it was only 40 USD and wasn’t complete waste.

I would love to see such Filters for all type of Art such as Stylized, Photorealistic, Realistic, etc
