@OptimisticMonkey, some pros and cons I can think of: (The code plugin review process is slow right now, someone’s has gone through 3 months code review time and still waiting, my another plugin is in it’s 2nd month also still pending.)
Buying from UE marketplace:
Pro:
- Integrated with Launcer, plugin will be installed to engine automatically
- Precompiled binaries for all available platforms are built by Epic
Con:
- Slow update period, might took days or weeks for new update go live
**
Buying from itch.io:**
Pro:
- Always update to newest version at first time
Con:
- Have to install to engine manually by unzip to engine plugin folder
- Precompiled binaries for Windows and Android only, other platforms need to build from source (as I only have windows and android build environment right now)
