Will my paid assets appear in the final game build?
I am new to Unity and I have been working on a small game for the last month that I would like to put online for free. I am using a few assets that I bought on the asset store. If I build my game and put it online, will the paid assets appear in the game file? I don't think they will, but I want to make sure because I'm not supposed to distribute the paid assets to anyone. Thank you.

Your build will not include your paid assets. You are free to build and post it anywhere you like.

Thank you. @SteenPetersen Just to be clear, my final game build will show the paid assets in the game (like if I bought a tree asset and then put it in my game, the player will see it once they actually play my game), but anyone who downloads the game will not be able to access the files for my paid assets and copy and paste it into one of their own games.
Hey, I converted your 'answer' to a 'comment' as this won't show up in the forums as having 2 answers now, remember to stick to comments for such things =)
Your game will look like you want it to and the way it appears in your editor, baring some errors that can appear only in build sometimes. $$anonymous$$ost assets that you buy are not reverse engineerable and there are ways to protect one's assets when selling them on the store. You just do not want to share your GitHub with all the files etc as this would be in violation of most creators asset rights.
