sorry I got confused, only their paid Extended License provide clearance for video games projects.
Free allows video (like youtube) usage only.

EDIT 2: My problem with 2 of the assets not appearing owned seems to have been resolved. Hope it also works for you.


EDIT 1 : Thank you reigifts for the information about Croupout Sample Project from Epic Games
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/cropout-sample-project

It is an official project

Cropout is a Casual RTS game sample that shows you best practices for creating a cross-platform project in UE5.

Thanks! For whatever reason I can't add venice atm but hopefully it fixes itself.

I have problems with "Museum Environment Kit" and "Ultimate Ship Package". I've got a confirmation mail that I've bought them, but the product pages does not show them as owned.

Like you, I hope it will be fixed.

Edit: I do however see these in the Vault in Epic Games Launcher. So hopefully there is no problem at all.

Mine resolved, for whatever reason whenever I went to the Venice tab, it would sign me out. The other 4 worked fine. After I signed in I was able to get it for free. For the first two I added them to cart and then checked out, which makes them appear as if I don't own them, but as you said, if I check my licenses they're there, it happened last month too with one of them. I should always click the "get for free" button and avoid the "add to cart".

If it matters there's also a sample project they've launched for free on the 27th: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/cropout-sample-project and likely others depending on how often people check those.

Thank you for this. I will put "Cropout" in the original message. I find this to be valuable information.
