Quick question on Fab license pricing

[elemento]

@Krabworks

What I thought you meant was that you should lose the right to include the asset in projects after that term, which would absolutely be wrong. I.e., If you bought an asset in 2020 you should still own and be able to ship it in 2026…but I totally understand not having access to new version releases several years after your purchase.

Old stuff before FAB, I agree. New stuff, should have option for Lifetime OR subscription seat per term. i.e. You buy a car asset in FAB for 1 year subscription (indie), you’ll then can use that car for any of your games for the duration of that year. Soon after, you should get a warning when opening up Unreal Engine that “the car asset is about to expire” and get 3 options: Ignore, buy again or buy forever. If you choose ignore, just like Games, Apps, 3D software… that asset should lock .

I know you disagree with this because you’re on the opposite side. But if think about it, all big Game devs do the same thing with tockens, locked levels, upgrades, etc. to their customers. Why shouldn’t we?

But anyway, that’s a subject for another generation I guess. Cause presently, Epic fully support your side. They just want you to sell Games and give you everything for Free. Hopefully, that will change and compensate both Devs and Artist equally.
