I’m happy that assets will be curated based on quality. However, banning similar models is ridiculous. It’s important to have variety and choice. We don’t need every oak tree in a game to be the same oak tree. A quality bar needs to be established by Epic, but we certainly don’t want a situation where once an asset is created it can’t be better by someone else.
True that. would end in situation where all the Unreal games have the same soldier using the same walk animation passing a forset made form just 1 tree model. All good quality. All the same.
It would no longer be “another UE4 game! hooray!”. It would be “another UE4 game, pass”. And now somebody says “No, because new games will create their own exclusive content!”. And I will say “so why do you need the Marketplace anyway…?”. Variety is key.
And another thing… If there is no variety , where do you thing devs will go for their assets? Oh… I know… It’s all FBX with jpgs, will work in any engine. There really is no barrier. engine is open now and nobody stops you form buying any asset you want elswhere if you won’t find it . It’s just 30% revenue will not go to Epic, but to competition.
