Marketplace is great, for large and small projects. Looking forward to contributing. The 999 asset limit per account is tricky to manage. I find things well, but the search function is horrid for sure. it should look in the description and not require exact spelling. ie dog should bring up doggy, but it doesn’t. I like epics efforts with monthly freebee to get folks interested and inspiring. Quality control and access to source is why I purchase at marketplace.
I have to say that out of all the online stores and freelance websites I’ve tried to sell my work the UE4 Marketplace has been the very best, quality control can take you a while to get through but its not ridiculously long. I’ve been very happy selling the marketplace the past couple of months, I should have never doubted

only here to tell you that since 2015, I’ve spent nearly around 15-20k on (on sale and non-on sale based on demand), in small projects demos (free). I haven’t made a fully featured commercial game yet, but mostly buy generic art assets, modular systems, etc. Think of something that it is used in most games and even AAA studios would want to save money on. Look at what PUBG did as well when they were starting. Instead of paying around 5k a month to an artist to do it from scratch, better pay 30 for an asset ( and the rest of that money can be spend in a new feature) IN ALL saves money, saves time, and great investment.
Edit:
Once in a while check on the request posts that developers make, if you believe it’s worth the time to develop, then go for it. The most you can waste is time and monthly membership that you were gonna be paying anyways(if at all).
I even have items no longer for sale in the marketplace either due to not support from sellers (abandoned) OR after non-copyright driven content movement last year.
Sales for this year will probably go down, because Epic is giving free assets for month and permanent.
I already lost over 400 dollars in assets.
Epic failed to give a road-map of assets they would be giving away for free so most people this year are waiting each month for free assets rather than supporting new developers. I will probably do the same. since:
MONEY: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?
haha
It is a great give back from epic, but I would’ve love like a voting system to get them from different categories (art/code/Fxs/etc). Also, help the developers with less sales in their packages(a package that didn’t sell well, but it’s good).
