It’s pretty obvious that sales are down for many on FAB.
Part of it is due to website design flaws and issues overall.
But then there are many sellers with an average product price that is now 3 to 10 times higher than it was on the UE Marketplace …
When there are many sellers all of a sudden thinking to just increase prices then obviously they would immediately lose their main target that is solo indie developers and micro and small software houses with limited budget and resources.
The Personal license with the very low $100,000 gross revenue limit is not helping for sure however while there are sellers that didn’t increase their products prices or just increased a little bit and sellers that put the same price on both Personal and Professiona licenses then there are those that increased the price a lot.
The “let’s increase the price” trend was already happening on the UE Marketplace but now on FAB it’s at an all new level with the wrong thought of being able to make a lot of easy money by targeting large AAA studios obviously… Fact is… large AAA studios have their own employees that can create any asset for everything so unless they absolutely need something they don’t have time to make and are in a hurry or there is something amazing that no one ever thought of it’s highly unlikely that they would bother buying anything on online shops… otherwise they wouldn’t need their own employees creating original assets for their products instead…
