Is the MS Marketplace Worth It?

The OFFICIAL Marketplace should be the number one stop for PREMIUM quality 3rd party addons. Customers should feel secure knowing the 3rd party developers content has been vetted by either MS or Asobo staff to assure the quality of these addons are equal to, or better than, the quality of the official content.

I learned the hard way that this is not so, and have found some addons sub par. Even lazy ports from FSX just literally dumped into MSFS 2020 (which should be penalized) not accepted.

ARE YOU LISTENING MICROSOFT?

The market place will not be anymore than a cash grab for lazy devs, and you’ll have a hard time trying to avoid the bullcrap. This needs to be taken in hand NOW! The marketplace is still young, there’s some really great addons and every not so great addon you allow will take away from those that deserve your custom.

Does the addon meet the quality and standard required of MSFS 2020?
If they do not, then you cannot release the addon until you have met the requirements.
It really isn’t rocket science.

When I buy a scenery or an airport on the OFFICIAL Market place, then I should, and all of you should, feel assured you are getting AT THE BEAR MINIMUM the same quality as an OFFICIAL addon.
