The fact that a single user alone can submit so many entries and not be flagged for spam, ignoring the AI aspect of this is mind boggling.
Epic in the past mentioned that the old UEM was not breaking even but constantly made promises to creators for improvements over the past decade.
We’re now at a point where literal stolen content is freely shared on Fab from other peoples asset packs to ripped content from games.
I see plenty of people here laying out platitudes but this situation should never have occurred in the first place, the reputation of Fab is in tatters in all the communities I’m in.
If Epic needed that extra money why not adopt a similar scheme as with other app stores and your own where you pay an upfront small fee for a listing, situations like 44k listings in 6 months would never happen if the fee was even as low as $15 because that would amount to half a million dollars.
A decent seller would write off such a small fee because they would rightly be focusing on making their content worthy of the purchase but it would actively limit these kinds of situations where the sellers business is volume not quantity.
Epic used to mean Epic Quality, now it feels like we’re edging towards Epic Volume at the expense of quality.
