Marketplace Submission Process too slow!

There is no doubt that the MP Team cannot control how fast a person that submits a product for review responds. With the obvious having been stated. This begs the question (petitio principii), if you will that the process to have a product in the Marketplace, from start to finish is slow (the reasons for it, are not of consequence to my response). This leads to frustration on the part of the seller/developer, and that is in and of itself, something that Epic Games should not desire.

The Marketplace is far more, than just Epic Games bringing buyers and sellers together, and taking 30% off the top of the financial transaction. It should be a marketing tool, that Epic Games uses, in order to further advance the income derived from the UE4 engine itself. Thereby increasing the popularity of the engine, further enhancing revenue not only from the Marketplace, but from the 5% royalty of the use of the UE4 engine in commercial products.

As someone that has purchased, over 50 packs from the marketplace, I do not like to see a person in this very same thread, state they are NOT submitting animations, because of the submission process.

Indeed.

If others like Unity and Apple can approve marketplace assets quickly then Epic Games can to. Unity can be a bigger Company and Apple is a giant in the business indeed but it doesn’t mean that Epic Games can continue to be so slow for a very long time.
They will end up losing customers… less game developers using UE4 for developing games and less developers of marketplace assets… That is something that must not happen unless Epic Games wanted to quit the market completely and sell everything to competitors and such. And this along with UE4 needing an overall better APIs documentation too and critical bugs fixed immediately whenever is needed and so on. Epic Games must step up and fix issues before it is too late.
