What happened to the Unity Asset Store package?
Previously I was able to get the normcore package off of the Unity asset store but it seems it has been removed. I'm able to use the package download from the dashboard but I'm curious why it's no longer on the Unity Asset Store?

Hi @Gregory Osborne. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the knowledge sources provided, I don't have specific information about why Normcore is no longer available on the Unity Asset Store. The documentation indicates that the current method for obtaining Normcore is through downloading the Normcore.unitypackage file directly from the dashboard.
According to the Getting Started guide, you should:
1. "Download the latest version of Normcore here: Normcore.unitypackage"
2. "Import Normcore by dragging the Normcore.unitypackage file into the Project tab in the Unity editor" Getting Started
The documentation also mentions that upon import, "Normcore will automatically add the Normal scoped registry to your project," which provides the Normcore package and optional packages developed by Normal.
If you need more specific information about why Normcore was removed from the Unity Asset Store, I would recommend reaching out to Normal directly through their Discord channel, which is mentioned in the documentation: "If you have any questions or feedback, hop over to our Discord and let us know."

I removed it. Unity wanted us to pay $20k/year to be on the asset store and after we looked at it, we thought the install experience for new users was worse. It was more steps than dragging the unitypackage into a project.
didn't know unity charged to be on the store
the rules say “consider joining vsp” but it’s a hard requirement
I’d rather put that money each year into making Normcore better.
