Unfortunately, that is not the case, the current encryption offers no benefits at the moment as it has already been cracked. I can certainly understand why devs would prefer to use the Marketplace if it worked properly, but at the moment it’s all a bit of a mess - slow releases, cracked encryption and a clunky interface.

Sad, but probably fixable - hope they’ll improve encryption, rerelease cracked models with new encryption and make cracked versions unflyable.

Good decision “Friends”!
Not only will you now get more sales, but you’ll have the money in your bank sooner too!
Bonus! I calculated 14th according to that countdown. I’ll hold off posting my own “end of year top 5 aircraft” on my thread, as I hope I’ll be including this!
Website works better on phone now too (portrait and landscape).

Will it be released on Wednesday the 7th on official marketplace as well as it actually was intended to be a marketplace exclusive?
May some of the official Community Managers could give an official and reasonable statement to this??
Edit: sorry can’t hold that statement back:
If (and what I see right now) the release is splitted and no more exclusive for marketplace, it’s really a good evidence how bad the official marketplace works and MS/Asobo should really rethink their workflow on marketplace and see this as their last chance to quickly do some changes!
Sad for me personally as a Xbox user getting disappointed from Ms/Asobo again!!

Since new add-ons on the Marketplace get released on Tuesdays as far as I’m concerned you probably won’t see the Wilga on the Marketplace this week. In their post on this thread concerning the handoff of the Wilga to Microsoft Jonx mentioned that they get a notification when the add-on is released 2-3 days prior to release. Since Tuesday is tomorrow and we haven’t heard anything from Got Friends it’s highly unlikely that it will be released this week.

The Marketplace is usually updated Thursday. Still, I wouldn’t get your hopes up too high this week.
