Check this out ???

The Dates

Yet still waiting for an answer for 2 months

What is going on with this system i thought epic picks was a first in first out system ???

Also how is it awarding xp with so few players ???

I’ve learned recently epic’s picks is actually not a first in first out system, epic can prioritize brands and content that they want to promote. Unfortunate that the main path for indie creators to get paid is mixed in with paid promotion but anywhere where money flows there will b corruption :man_shrugging:. I’ve also been waiting months on my last submission.

My submission got rejected

Instructions are too complicated for new players

Its a baseball game with a chicken idk how its complicated but hey ho

I got that feedback before on one where I had a whole tutorial. Not as bad as “enhance the overall gameplay experience” tho haha

What is going on with these collections? All I see is this sort of insider kind of back scratching going on. How is that not seen as a massive issue? Just looks desperate at this point. Why are they taking over New and Updated of all tabs? Completely defeats the purpose of it.

This #1 slot has been there since April.. What part of that makes sense to anyone? A month+ in new and updated? Hello?



Update: These were removed from new and updated about 2 hours ago

Both these have been in TMNT collection picks for 2+ months.
1 hasn’t even been updated for almost a year.

This is how complacency happens.

The entire walking dead collections picks hasn’t changed since its inception.

This is beyond “Favouritism” this is just a heavily manipulated market. Nothing organic about it.

Maybe with Netflix controlling squid games you won’t have this kind of pathetic manipulation because it won’t be a “studio” controlling it.. :roll_eyes:

I used to get a few hundred players after an update, but that has stopped, not 1 player now…
2600 hours on UEFN, one $100 payout at the start of the year, $90 earnings so far, ooh if this wasn’t such a great hobby working for 3 cents an hour would not be OK

Now it feels dead in the water, this years payout will most likely not cross the threshold and reset to zero.
Maybe my thumbnails are so unappealing…

Yeah idk what happened but this year has been horrible. I had a map with 26 min avg playtime after 2 discovery listings that I thought would do well but was rejected from epics picks and never even shown once in the walking dead playlist. Still waiting for megagrant response but otherwise I won’t be able to afford working on uefn, it’s a shame. Seems like people scamming and gaming the system are getting paid tons while those actually trying to innovate and make quality experiences get pushed down

I did a cool cube io game and it got rejected from epic picks due to “some other island was chosen” crazy man system is so messed up they need to get their priorities in order instead of promoting slow/criminal creator practices.

I got that same response for my last two islands, one was infinite procedurally generated so I felt good about but no luck. At least a sentence would b nice as a response
