Scrolling through my unity asset store library, and wow, nearly every sound effect pack I've purchased through bundles has been removed from the store, presumably for copyright infringement.

Like, I knew the sidearm studios ones got taken down due to the PSA/callout video Filmcow made, but they're all gone, haha

It's nice to see that unity's cracking down on them, as I'd prefer to not have to deal with the headache of dealing with the repercussions of that... but it would be really nice if unity actually labeled them in a way that made it clear why they've been taken down. Labeling them "deprecated" doesn't really communicate "if you continue to use this in your project you are likely putting yourself at risk." If I hadn't seen filmcow's video, I may have assumed they all just decided to quit using the asset store or something. I doubt Unity/Humble are going to be issuing refunds though, and I definitely feel for the people who got scammed when buying 'em outside of the bundles....

Edit: It looks like I was wrong to praise Unity here, the scammers likely voluntarily shut down their accounts after getting caught. Cafofo in particular nuked all their accounts, after two of their packs were found to have other people's sounds in 'em

in reply to @SnepShark's post:

Looking into the matter further, Magic Spells Sound Effect 2019 and Magic Sound Pro were removed 3 weeks ago because they contained sound effects from RPG MAGIC SFX PACK 3 – ELEMENTAL, which appears to have caused Cafofo to nuke everything.

Every page on their website except for a contact form just returns a 404 (same goes for their Unity Asset Store profile, SoundCloud account, and Twitter account). They still have 11 sound packs up for sale on the Unreal Marketplace, though.

I’m a little unsure what exactly’s going on with them, but it doesn’t look good.
