"Fab will not support open-text reviews or questions sections"

That’s bad.

I remember written reviews being introduced in the past to make it not anonymous and to combat exploitation of the review system. With time sellers learned that they could exploit this even more by offering Discord access via the review section. After a lot of unrestricted exploitation, Epic took measures to combat this for a short time, then let unrestricted exploitation run free again.

The result is many products with zillions of 5-star reviews that are just Discord access requests, but at least customers could look at the texts and see that they were just Discord access requests.

Now Epic removed the texts but maintained all the stars gained via the exploitation, putting at a disadvantage sellers that didn’t exploit the system and earned their reviews the hard way…
