Every other platform I sell on not only allows external links.. it comes with full integration of them.
Not to have discord integration on an Unity/Unreal marketplace would be unthinkable, such channels are critical for building a brand.
Some platforms simply feel secure in doing so because they know they offer superior services that will keep attracting customers, while others are ran those who know they can't compete on a level playing field.
It's that simple.
You are comparing global and highly specialized marketplaces. This is already ridiculous. It's not a question of competition, but of safety.
Right, so these "global and highly specialized" marketplaces are inferior at ensuring safety.
There is just no conceivable way you can ensure safety without treating your partners like dirt and acting like you are running a racket.
Just that there are different users. For some, it is not a problem to remove one or even many more links and there are no complaints against them. No one is demanding that you delete accounts on other platforms (including marketplaces) and social networks/apps. But there are other users who, despite a very simple request, create a scandal and showdown.
Removing harmless networking links should not be a policy, period.
If anything, links should be a feature integrated into the platform, like it is on other storefronts.
My point is that all other storefronts manage to protect their users from abuse just fine without resorting to any sort of heavy-handed restrictions, exposing their justifications as utter bogus.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to comply here.
I posted here thinking it was simply a misunderstanding or an unfortunate run-in with some admin on a power trip.
Now that I have been informed about this being an actual thing, I of course have no desire to continue using this platform, and I have already pulled my products regardless of whether they resolve this issue on their end.
Besides these people don't even know how to resolve the issue, because they apparently had no clue cover images were broken for ages and they have no clue how to fix it, or even how to simply remove mine from my account.
Which is about the level of competence I expected from them.
