I feel there is a way to “curb” marketplace piracy a little.
So, you know how most, if not all, marketplace items have an email link to the Devs for support/questions?
How about a Support Button in each marketplace item, that links back to the dev. But is routed through Epic Marketplace. Pretty much what will happen here, is that it will check to confirm that you have purchased the item you are requesting support, and if yes, email sends to dev. If NOT, well then…that’s up to you Epic. I am not sure if there’s a way around it, but that’s my best guess. will also decrease spam emails to them.
