these are my reasons why it an initial fee will greatly impact myself and others in small countries.
imho personally i don’t believe having to pay a fee before publishing will fix it.
you can pay for it and then publish the slop anyway.
these people definitely have the time and motivation, so i don’t think paying will stop them.
though i think everyone seems to agree this is not an issue that can be fixed simply by one method.
for example, afaik, in google play store for example, you have to pay and have to upload a lot of data, and yet, it’s drowning with slop too.
but adding a fee could …
Another example of non fee’d moderation. Discord doesn’t have a fee, you don’t even need to put your true details. Yet rarely i see spam like this.
Can’t help to think the forums here are being targetted. Which i find silly, since there are devs here, not players (who you could steal something from, i guess).
I understand. Theres a setting for that.
And if the content is taggen as ai then you wont see it.
And if someone breaks that rule they get banned. Which is a far more intense deterrent than paying 1$.
From my pov, as a seller of free assets, even 1$ can be prohibitive. Some people in latam cant get an international credit card, so they cant sell at all.
Like someone else said above, its unfair that legit sellers have to be punished. 1$ fee for everyone is punishment to all. And not fair. I …
Clearly the store is broken. They should start with things like those before adding a fee.
“Discord has mods and epic cant have that luxury”
Why not? Why not having the ability to report users?
“We dont know if epic can police content”
Well imho the fee wont help at all then. People can still pay and keep posting crap or stolen assets as long as they make a cut.
If you cant enforce a policy you have to close your business..
And a rule of economics is that all costs are paid by the end con…
that’s a good point. but i think that in the bottom line still apply.
if you put X$ into it, you want to get the same amount back, and in an amount that is sustainable.
that means you have to take into account how many units you sell in a period.
so if you make 1 asset per month, you need to make sure to get that money back in one month.
i’m treating the time you invest as money, because it’s simpler that way.
you still have a market cap of how many assets you sell per month.
so even thou…
