Fair point in terms of the testing.
However, when we first entered the process for Arrows Across America we only had 73 small custom sites in the original package.
As an addon it was, and remains, optimised and has zero impact on FPS, load times etc.
We have had zero feedback from the process despite regularly updating the application, so it is not clear how far the complexity of the addon has any bearing on the process.
It has begun to feel as though there is a group of applications that were made between the initial rush in 2020/21 and whatever new processes have been put in place which have ended up in some weird backlog that no one is looking at.
Perhaps the oddest part about it is that anyone prepared to apply is also prepared to pay MS a c30% commission on all sales via the Marketplace.
If we are happy to pay to get access to the marketplace, then why make it so hard to get in there to begin with?
