Protecting Original 3D Items on Marketplace
Key Takeaways
We’ve removed 3D Marketplace items that duplicate existing meshes, textures, or animation data. This protects your original work and keeps catalog quality high.
Check the Creator Dashboard for removal notifications on any of your published items.
Hi Creators,
Your unique creative work deserves protection on Marketplace. To protect the time and energy you put into making original 3D items, we’ve removed 3D Marketplace items that contained meshes, textures, or animation data that were overly similar copies of previously uploaded content. Moving forward, updated checks will also make it harder for overly similar copy items to be published.
What Happens to Items Already on Marketplace
Some of these items have been on the Marketplace for a while, we’re minimizing friction for assets that were previously published:
• No account strikes or penalties: We won’t issue account strikes or moderation penalties for items removed under this update.
• Item removals: We may remove published items that contain meshes, textures, or animation data that are overly similar copies of previously published items, under the general creation guidelines of the Marketplace policy.
• Notifications: If we remove one of your published items with this update, you’ll receive a notification via system messages and the taken down items will be greyed out in the Creator Dashboard.

• Upload and publishing fees: We won’t refund any upload or publishing fees for items removed for violating policy.
For future uploads, attempts to publish spam, including overly similar items to published items, to Marketplace and violate the Community Standards against Repetitive & Misleading Content may result in account suspensions.
What Happens to Purchased Items
We’re also supporting players who purchased removed items.
