What are the implications of using Quixel Megascans assets?

Now I’ve heard that you are not allowed to use Quixel Megascans assets on Roblox, and that has been very clearly stated by Staff on the Quixel forums themselves, below is a screenshot of one of the results that shows up when you search “Roblox” on the Quixel help website.


One of my friends who has asked not to be stated for privacy reasons also contacted Quixel staff recently and has gotten the same result:

Me showing how people profit off of maps made with Quixel assets and not getting banned

Now despite the fact that you are prohibited from using Quixel assets on roblox even if you have a license, there are still people who use them with seemingly no legal action being taken whilst selling and profiting from maps made using said assets. One example is a group that is called Alpine Outdoors that also has a discord server on which, they sell and promote said maps. Here are a few examples of maps they promote and the assets that they used.


Now what I just sent is just a small fraction of all the assets that they use and the ones that I can find on the website, there are many others which I can assume with confidence are taken from the website such as these:

My friend has also gone through some of the images that they have sent and picked out a few more assets:

In the following image, you can see one of the owners trying to sell the map for real money and Robux.

One of the owners even has a place under their profile which shows an abundance of Quixel assets.

I presume that if you join the Discord server (which is linked on their group shouts), then you too will be able to notice the abundance of Illegal assets.

The question here is, what is stopping people from using assets from Quixel? From what I have heard (not confirmed) that the mentioned group, makes hundreds of thousands of Robux, if not more from selling Illegal maps.

Risk it for the :cookie: ?
I know how a lot YouTubers also uses it, but seriously, doesn’t matter us much.
If you want you, you can. But, risks.

Considering they are not licensing out the assets to roblox users and advise you not to use them in games, they have legal rights to take down any of these games, and im sure they would if they knew about them.

There is nothing stopping u from that but quixel try to do license only must be given to unreal engine developers but they dont know that devs can copy that. Roblox dont stops u but still it is not good

I’d say rather than using Quixel as easy as it may be look for CC0 or other public domain assets to use as to avoid any risk of legal issues.
Somthing to remember is you are completely at fault to all legal issues, Roblox is safe to all that you bring on the platform.

money is money they dont do nun
also whats quixel
