Video uploads [Beta]: Add short-form video to your experience

All developers earn money through Premium Payouts, regardless of if anything is actually sold in the game/experience or not. I can understand the issue with ID verification, but the current fee, albeit a little high, isn’t as difficult to earn as many here seem to think.

A 30 second video translates to $7 DevEx, but keep in mind that this is currently a beta feature. That 2k R$ is spent to pay for hosting and streaming said video, and acts as a floodgate for spamming uploads. This feature is nice to have, but it’s also important to realize the alternatives that already exist. Additionally, not all games/experiences need to include every new feature that comes out.

I do however hope that this fee will either eventually go away after the full release, or be changed to a dynamic price based on the file size. That and have the length limit also be based on file size, rather than an arbitrary 30 seconds. But I believe those restrictions are also related to this still being an early beta feature.
