Steam has a fantastic refund policy for games and they rack in the cash.
But I’m sure some MS person “invented” rentals and has a KPI revenue goal they want to make to get a decent rating on their annual Connect, so I can’t see them instituting a policy that would cut that one-day rental revenue.
I think that’s probably true too. They’ll stick with it as long as the legally can and as long as they have a monopoly on flight simulation. Yes, I know there’s a couple others, but they’re not serious competition.
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
