I am really grateful to MS for finally listening and taking action. I just hope MScenery does not re-emerge under a different name now!
Score 1 for the good guys, im glad to finally see that junk off the marketplace 
I bet they will come back with alt names, they have already tried too with that B731
Can’t say I’m sorry to see them go. But I’d like to see the look on their face when they saw the notice!
Do you have proof (or even legitimate evidence) that this was Mscenery?
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
he finally got banned
Let them.
Now standards are set and consequences are clear.
If they try the same under new name, they won’t last long - or probably not even let in, as the MP Team knows the name behind it as someone has to sign the contract.
But if they learned and either improve their products or give proper descriptions - eg. “Fun to fly realistic looking models in arcade style” without tampering with reviews and ratings, there is nothing wrong with them being there. Just stop misleading.
Wow, good job Microsoft, at first I was not excepting them to be totally “banned” from MP, but the false reviews combined to AI screenshots were the icing on the cake since too much time ! Thanks you
I agree, just as long as they don’t flood the MP with hundreds of their products again!
Huge gratitude for the Microsoft team for this. It took a while, but I am so glad the community’s voice was heard on this. The Marketplace will be better off for it! And thank you to @Av4ngel for utilizing your platform, even breaking with what content you prefer to make, to cover this issue. I think that exposure really helped.
I think it goes to show: this isn’t just a single dev that’s the issue. There’s a systematic problem with the Marketplace where devs market misleading products and get away with it.
For sure, MS need to strike those devs that pop up out of nowhere. And there needs to be a follow-on policy to prevent this from recurring; otherwise these guys will just come up under a new name.
I have a feeling this going to become a cat and mouse game with this guy constantly rebranding himself until MS request and verifies personal/company/legal id or something like that.
Or better, establish and most importantly, enforce rules that prevent these things from happening.
I think the first step would be to return to a heavily curated method of checking the stuff that’s gonna be released on the marketplace.
that’s the thing though, I’m convinced this isn’t a new dev. It’s just mscenery rebranding a while ago to try and dodge lower ratings.
I fear the same too. We must all be vigilent and report our concerns. This has set a precedent.
You know, if he comes back and abides by the rules of honest representations of the poor quality, does not over inflate his ratings, gives adequate pictures and honest descriptions of all of the aircraft, has proper contact details which are responded to, has visibility on the net, then sure, sell your products.
This stuff would be less of a problem if there were a existing and easy refund process, or an enforcement to let people have the 1 day test period for ALL marketplace content.
Refunds for everyone that bought this rubbish? Let’s not forget, Microsoft were happy to put this on their platform and take a share of the revenue for c.6 years?
Yeah, as it is now, it’s probably already or borderline deceptive advertising, which would be a felony in my region.
Shouldn’t be thanking anyone for being scammed
