I’m reaching out because I’m currently facing a long and uncertain wait regarding my Marketplace submission. My DLC has been available on other platforms since September and has been well‑received there, which makes me hopeful that it could also benefit the MSFS community through the official Marketplace.
However, despite several months of waiting and multiple emails sent to the Marketplace team, I have not received any update or decision regarding my submission. I fully understand that the team handles a large volume of requests and that reviews take time, but at this stage I’m simply looking for clarity on the status of my application.
If anyone from the Marketplace team or the community can provide guidance on how to proceed, or confirm whether this delay is normal, I would greatly appreciate it.
In one of the last Twitch streams Jorg acknowledged they had a backlog of applications. He said they would get around to viewing these. When, who knows?
The community have been pushing for more dev submissions but we haven’t had a stream for 5 months now.
There is the Leylestad show next weekend and MS/Asobo are going to be there.
You might want to gain some nominations in this topic, it has been a good source for Microsoft to know which developers where appreciated by the community and consider their application (being one of those with highest vote count in that topic helped for sure )
(As a side note,.actually “submission time” is often related to the addon submission pipeline in the Marketplace, and to be honest lately they are fast!)
We’ve moved your topic out of the Sim Update 6 Beta | MSFS 2024 categories as this thread had no relevance to the current Sim Update 5 Beta for MSFS 2024.
Unfortunately we are unable to provide any timelines on Marketplace submission decisions via the MSFS forums. You will receive correspondence from the Marketplace Team once they have reviewed your submission.
What would you call not getting any response to repeated emails over the course of 6 months?
My clients would leave me if I ignored their emails like that.
How about a simple (even automated) “Thank you for your inquiry. We have a backlog of submissions that we are actively working through. We appreciate your patience.”
Communication with customers seems to be the least and last level of importance to MS/Asobo. And I’m not referring to the Community or Moderator teams who do a difficult job trying to catch the flak for MS/Asobo.
