Hub Marketplace (buy directly from hub)

[henshin]

Hi, why VAM does not have a marketplace?
I see many people are using Patreon to sell the content
I think would be MUCH better if we can buy directly from the hub in VAM, I see these PROS:

1. Patreon is charging 8% to creators. This could be for VAM instead of Patreon, and allow us to support the VAM2, updates etc
2. Creators don't need to create and maintain another platform, manage links in mega with secret codes etc
3. Better stats for paid content (download etc)
4. Allow different payment models (maybe instead of subscription just pay for some specific thing etc)
5. Much easier for users, they don't need to create an account in Patreon, go there, pay, download from some link, copy to addonpackages, download dependencies etc
6. Allow easy donations to creators


sorry if this was already debated, I couldn't find it.

There are way too many issues with doing this. It has been debated before. @meshedvr made a specific decision not to do this. If the mods want to add the laundry list of reasons not to do this, they can, but don't expect this to change anytime soon.
