MScenery is history, finally

My own reaction:

1) low quality of Mscenery content
2) lacking information in product descriptions and misleading images
3) validity of high user scores

I wonder if MS-Xbox-Asobo will regard this as a one-off situation, or will they apply stricter rules for all partners in future?
I seriously doubt that any other developer is guilty of all three counts above, but in my opinion Sim Federation should be subject to the same scrutiny.
 
LOL I had to check what this was all about. I found that the only model I was ever interested in was the OH-6, but it was so abysmal in the screenshots that I immediately put that in the "forget it" bin.

Good riddance, I guess. The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.

Cheers,
Mark
 
The fuss was that MScenery was inflating its reviews. Great planes would sit there with 38-60 reviews of 3.8 to 4.6 average after weeks on the market, and MScenery would have 141 5 star reviews within days of their releases. So new pilots or people new to marketplace would sort by score and think these inexpensive planes were great.

If they wanted to sell crap (their planes were 3D models purchased from 3D websites with basic animations and panels added) that's their prerogative. But cheating by gaming the review system with bots/fake reviews turned their planes from sh*tty products to flat-out scams.
 
for me it was the fact that they were misrepresenting their products in order to make sales to folks who would not have otherwise purchased their crap - which amounts to theft in my view...and not in the widely overused, hyperbolic sense that the term is often used by the FS community - but ACTUAL theft
