It's at this point you should start to realize a core part of your system isn't working; the revenue output to creators should not be of this high value when they retain less than 50% of the overall playerbase compared to the main Epic modes. You can't force something to work just because it's a cool idea. 5,065 133 thread

@TypicalGamer @jogo We need to ship a number of missing UEFN features so that anyone can build comparable games in these genres, and do it better than we did. These projects currently rely on complex UE5 C++ code in a number of areas that needs to be continually maintained.

@ID_AA_Carmack @aeter8num There hasn’t been significant gaming of the system. Thankfully there are enough benefits to curation and reputation in having one >$1M app than to breaking it up into a near-duplicate set of <$1M apps. But this assumes a modest take rate. At 30% behavior may change.

@FNCreate Epic’s Picks probably needs some re-thinking. Visuals and details clearly do not matter to players, yet it is one of the criteria for getting featured.

What’s the point of making a roadmap if you never meet the release estimates? The fact that you are ONLY NOW warning us about delays for things that were supposed to come out in less than 30 days ruins some people’s plans for maps/updates. I can understand delays happen, but you’re handling them badly and way too often. 51 1 thread

Yes, recreating the Zapotron model (before it was added) would be a good example of the type of violation we're talking about here. Creators are welcome to make and use their own models but copying the look of a weapon from Battle Royale or STW that isn't provided to you is against the rules. - Dan 48 2 thread
