The Jimquisition 29: The Asset Flip

We've talked about "stock Unity assets" on this show before, but what does that mean? Well, it's time to look at the ramifications of asset flipping - buying pre-made characters, objects, and environments from other developers, and re-selling them with no alterations. From whole asset packs resold under new names, to Unreal Engine tutorials masquerading as games, asset flipping comes in several flavors, and none of them taste good. Grab a fork and dig in, why don't you?

Boy, The Jimquisition's really sockin' it to that Unity Assets guy again. He must work there or something.

Thanks to this video at least they won't be able to sit for weeks from the butt hurt resulting from this video and the fact that Jim tore them a new one.

I don't understand why Valve - who MUST be aware of all this don't seem to care that all this carry-on is shitting all over Steam's reputation as a platform. I remember when Steam used to be a prestigious store for games - very hard to get on to - now it just feels like a repository for dogshit. The only thing I can think is that the money Valve make from Steam offsets any damage these awful games are doing to Steam's reputation. Steam used to be John Lewis - it now feels like it's including the piss-poor-cousin of the 50p and £1+ shop! Thank god for you Jim Fucking Sterling Son for highlighting this bullshit again and again - I just wish Valve would do something about this - hire a couple of people to act as gatekeepers to the obvious trash - can't be that difficult surely? I'd LOVE to actually hear GabeN respond to this video...how can he defend this crap?
