Well, all one has to do is to make a search for Dragon Ball or Spiderman …

The shocking part is that they didn’t learn after the first time they tried this in Jan 2023… the community lashed out at them and they re-enabled them shortly after.
Not sure why they thought it’d be any different this time around. :NotLikeThis:

Well, I see the Dragonball one going for $20-$30. By the way, is it against the rules to bring in politics in the product description? I was going through the free stuff, saw an bomb with some fast food stickers on it and the seller was talking about current events
lol what? can you link to that? honestly… this deployment is starting to be worth how bad it is in entertainment value at this point…
Here it is. Keep in mind that I haven’t reported it, yet.
Also noticed that they got rid of most of the FNAF stuff, only one that’s left is something that I can’t link to, on here
Oh jesus… I take back what I said about entertainment. That’s abhorrent… How the hell is that not picked up by something automated… Not to mention the branding in there lol…
Yet, I have been waiting for about five hours so they can approve a single change I made in the descriptions (I added a comma). You would think they are reviewing every product in detail :)))
Changes in descriptions used to be instant and auto-approved in the Unreal marketplace.
Now it’s some extra headache.

Yes, I agree that it’s certainly unprofessional. But I’m not exactly sure where the line is drawn (outside of the blatant display of copyright infringement)

Well, I’m like… 500% sure that mcdonalds, dominos, etc. don’t let you sell their logo 
so that alone is a big no no
100% this!
Now as a seller you can’t even see what ratings you have, just the average and not having written reviews is just awful. Who does this anyways? In pretty much every place where there are reviews, you can write something otherwise there’s not much point in having them.
Not only is this worse for buyers because they can’t know if others think those assets are good or not but also because of those who had the discord verification thing, which are now basically “legal” and have hundreds of valid reviews that you can’t really tell if are legit or not.

This is ridiculous. As a marketplace seller, I feel nobody reviewed my assets compared to 2 years ago. Now that you can’t even read the reviews I think people will never bother except for 1 star.

They need to add this feature ASAP and migrate over our Reviews, Questions, and Answers.

I can’t wait to get scammed because these features are missing (and epic does zero quality control)
Cannot believe Fab is missing this, what an absolute joke.
It’s 100% clear why Epic have done this, they don’t want you to doubt buying, everything is non refundable, so Epic says F-you if you buy something that is broken but had lots of stars from years ago.

Which is precisely why I mainly stick with the free stuff that pops up, every month. Less of an hassle, that way
We want the Question and Answer System Back…
There’s NO excuse not to move the Q&A section from the Marketplace to each dev’s section.
Little Kids playing in the metaverse are NOT buying assets from FAB, the Adult Developers are…

We don’t want a “Star” system that supplants the Q&A section.
We want THE Q&A section because it helps to make purchasing decisions.
It helps us to determine, which devs are Actually supporting their product, and which devs have not responded to a question in 6 months or more.
It helps us to determine what is being said in the public to other devs, it validates the level of support that sellers are actually providing.
I don’t want to have to “Register, Login, Post” to some sellers untrusted website every time I have a question. What I want, is a trusted seller with a trusted way to communicate, and get fair timely responses. The Q&A section gives that to me. NOT a 5 Star rating.

Come to think of it, can’t they just use this forum for the Q&A stuff? I know that it wouldn’t be immediately visible, but it’ll be an lot faster to implement

Numerous purchases I’ve made were because of the reviews and QA sections quickly answering questions. We didn’t even gain anything useful like a change log either.

I hope they at least propose an alternative or something. This is an incredibly awful decision for me as a customer. People have been posting Questions, or pointed out things / issues in the assets that may or may not influence my decision to buy something from the marketplace.
Especially the Question section was super useful, when UE5 just recently got around, some people asked if an asset pack was already compatible with XYZ of UE5 and when the creator said Yes, some asset packs were an instant buy.
Now with the lack of any text I am extra-hesitant. Nice work, Epic.

I completely agree, this decision feels like a major step back for customers who rely on transparency and community feedback. The open-text reviews and questions section were vital in helping buyers make informed decisions, especially with assets that have technical aspects or compatibility concerns. It’s frustrating to think that now we’ll have less visibility on issues or updates, and we’ll be forced to rely solely on the marketplace descriptions, which aren’t always detailed enough.
Like you mentioned, the questions section was incredibly helpful for staying informed about things like compatibility with new engine versions, and it’s disappointing to see that resource being removed. I really hope Epic reconsiders this or at least introduces an alternative solution that maintains that level of interaction and transparency. Without it, I’m definitely going to be more hesitant when it comes to buying assets.
