How many people typically buy marketplace items?

I’m glad you’re finding the Marketplace valuable! What we’ve been trying to do is build up its credibility and level of quality and support as a strong response against concerns of ‘cheapness.’ The Marketplace’s overall goal is to be a haven for the industry’s most talented professional content creators to sell their top-quality content to other developers, and to provide ongoing support for that content. It’s professional quality supported content for professional quality games, and each piece of content on the Marketplace represents tens to hundreds of hours of time savings for you, and it’s designed to be easy to work with for as many people as possible. In the end, it’s all about creating what you want and developing your game as efficiently as possible, and you have to choose the best ways to spend your time and money to get the result you want. If someone wants to get really hardcore, they could develop their own engine from scratch, but the likelihood of them ever shipping their game is lower than if they’d acknowledged that an engine like UE4 represents a colossal number of solved problems that’s been tested in battle.
