Just revert back to ue marketplace, everyone(buyers and sellers on this forum, discord and reddit) is disliking the direction of Fab is taking.
At least in the meantime, while epic team is developing Fab to switch to ue marketplace. You are asking too much for sellers where we need to check our product ranking daily because epic team randomly making changes without any notice. Road map and Release Note havent changed at all for months.
Fab is starting to lose reputation and that what is causing the issues with sales for all sellers. This will continue to get worsen because more AI content will continue to flood Fab and buyers are not looking for that particular type. They are looking for quality asset that we are used to with ue marketplace.
You can also make some kind of poll asking the community buyers+sellers what they really want.
Yes. Before adding ânatureâ to tags I couldnât even find it despite the search term âlow poly natureâ was a title of the pack(s). Still the results are IMO not ideal - I would expect the order of those two packs to be swapped: the bigger pack that has multiple reviews and high rating and contains more content⌠But I am guessing that currently itâs lower due to having more tags (as it contains more diverse content).
I would like to point out that AI sellers benefit the most from this search algorithm. It assigns a fixed amount of weight to tags, dividing it among the provided tags. When there are only a few tags, each one carries significantly more weight. Since AI sellers typically put very minimal effort into tagging, titles, and descriptions (they didnât even create the assets themselves), they end up being the primary beneficiaries. Consequently, the algorithm disproportionately boosts their assets to the top, often overshadowing others.
I really struggle to find what I need inside my FAB library. The issue is also with the UE launcher that products matching filters donât show up at all. There are a million filter tags that are pretty much redundant and donât help anyway.
It was a while since I uploaded something to the marketplace but I imagine that creators tick some boxes for the types of categories that are relevant. Maybe the issue stems from that but then the system is still bad since either way I canât sit all day scrolling through my library to find a specific FX pack that I donât know the name of.
Look at the following example. I was looking for VFX for my project and I know I have a lot more stuff than was fetched. Itâs a basic category and all of the relevant products should show up. Give me a way to group products myself at least so I donât have to spend ages looking for assets.
