We are making a change effective tomorrow where users must log in to use Studio. The following page will be displayed to all users after this change is live.
Requiring login in Studio enables us to deliver features quicker and provide you with a better overall experience. Users who are not signed in to Studio cannot:
Publish games for others to experience
Build collaboratively with friends using Team Create
Upload model, animation, and mesh assets
Install plugins to extend Studio functionality
We don’t expect this change to adversely impact you. For new developers, we carefully tested this change and made sure it did not discourage them from trying Studio. In fact, we believe it helps new developers by streamlining the login process and ensuring they can take advantage of Studio’s full feature set.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to let us know by replying to this thread. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
I never really used studio when logged out, but it seems like something that might be useful for some people with multiple accounts. Kinda weird to just see it get removed.
I don’t see any kind of point to make this so because installed plugins don’t even get tied/sync into your account. This will push more guests/people that don’t login to source 3rd party plugins which may be dangerous. Plugins should be easily available to expand easy experience in studio, not restricted/tied down with logins.
