Even if it does need the Marketplace, it could mean specific data, which it can use without needing the Marketplace visible. It is more like SmotheryVase665 said and maybe a update to the core files.
Slightly off topic but mentioned - do we know when the next Dev Stream is in March?
March 14th.

Soā¦weāve torpedoed your install andā¦bye for now!
Love it. 
Five years on and still the most basic communication is dreadful, why is this? Serious question.
For some reason, they seem to feel the need to use āmarketing languageā for everything. Rather infuriating when all we want is straight, truthful information on what the heck is going onā¦
Maybe the reason isā¦ They donāt even know whatās going on. Which is an option, but a troubling one it is.
In this particular case even if they donāt know what the specific problem was they could have pulled the update as soon as it was confirmed to be causing harm to minimise the people effected.
Basically, if they were super open and honest with the community all the time āand given how much people are constantly (and understandably) asking for updatesā theyād end up sharing a lot of internal stuff. That would set expectations and make it seem like certain things are coming by certain dates, even if theyāre not 100% sure they can deliver.
And then, the moment something doesnāt go as planned āwhich probably happens a lotā theyād be dealing with a huge wave of backlash every time.
They just donāt want to take that kind of risk. Simple as that.
Call it damage control.
If you actually manage peopleās expectation properly you donāt need damage control.
That means telling the truth up-front and being open and honest when things go wrong.
Yes but if you do that, marketing would likely not be able to generate nearly as much hype with promises and thus not generate as much sales day one. Sales are far more important than peopleās expectations.
From a business standpoint, I agree, but from a moral/ethical standpoint, I rather strongly disagree. It seems to me that, in a morally and ethically ideal world, businesses would do what they could to hype up their products, but also put out as much raw information as possible about those productsā state of readiness for production, so as not to mislead their (potential) customers into buying a product thatās not up to snuff.
ā¦Then again, why am I talking about morals and ethics when, for almost all large businesses nowadays, quick money is demonstrably the only priority?
Preciselyā¦ 
Thatās sadly why I didnāt even consider ethics or morality for even a split second in my previous answer. Theyāve been proven irrelevant 99% of the time as they donāt stand a chance against short term profitsā¦
Communication is very poor in the beta section, the one area itās needed most, this needs improvement.
Hopefully tonight we will get an update on whatās happening with SU2. Whether they will be releasing it in its current state, which I hope they donāt, or whether we can expect more beta updates. They seem to have gone very quiet this last week about whatās happening. It feels like we are all being left in the dark, and then get very vague detail in the weekly development update.
Keep the ball rollingā¦
SU2 must be releasedā¦
Unfortunately, improvements in communication with the community will never reach ābetaā.. it would be much better, getting in touch, keep customers honestly informed makes āthingsā so much better
I must admit Iām starting to find this weird alsoā¦
Good old days from the launch of 2020 with a lot of communication and projects seems very far now.
Whereās Asobo ? Whereās all the communication from Microsoft about the future of the sim ?
Looks like in 2008 when they closed Aces studio without a word for the fsx communityā¦
