I get people are impatient, and want to make suggestions that will help move things along. Keeping the marketplace closed until all bugs are resolved is NOT the answer though. People think “Oh, that will hurt Microsoft, thus make them work harder”. It will also hurt every single third party developer who sells on the Marketplace. It will also freeze their ability to actually SELL 2024 addons, and thus financial pressure will force them to stop developing for 2024.
Basically, putting an indefinite hold on the Marketplace for 6 months to a year will just basically kill of the sim completely. If all developers pull out, the users will too, and then the sim will have no choice but to shut down.
There has to be a more balanced approach. Also, once the Marketplace is fixed, it shouldn’t be using developer resources. The store is like a black box. Updates to the flight model won’t effect the store at all. World Updates mainly fall on first party developer teams and the Microsoft data team (who aren’t developers so they would not be fixing bugs). So keeping the Marketplace shut down for 6 months to a year is just being punitive. It won’t help direct resources into fixing bugs.
