unregulated market place pricing bad for Epic/UE4

Exactly. They are not the same thing and for that reason we are not taking (Artists and animators: $74,349 ($35.50 an hour)). Why is the complain going on yet? My very own pack which is $75 has ended up $1.5 an hour for me.

I dont get it. did it really end up at $1.5 an hour? did you only really sell one copy of your pack or what? (I’m serious, not being sarcastic)

I think is the point, you cant compare working for a private client to selling assets for a large number of customers. Becouse if is the case i could argue, for " amount of money" i want custom content only for me.
However I agree that any developer or artist set the price as they want. is the market, and ends up regulating by itself.

Almost. How the work is used is different based on the clients but the expectation of what we should earn in the end is the same.

I’m sure it isn’t. if your expectation of a Themeforest website is the same as a custom-tailored website, disappointment will come.
same as hiring an architect to create a completely new design for a house, or buying a house that looks the same as the next 50 houses in the block.
or buying a chair at IKEA instead of going to a woodworker.

the prime example is a character asset.
take marketplace’s military character guy. let’s say I wanted a character without headphones and without bags, and using green camo and armpads. well, nope. because the artist envisioned it that way.

just the fact that the artist is making what the artist wants and not what the client would ask for, and the fact that you’re selling the same asset to multiple users, makes the expectations way different
