marketplace trust

This marketplace trust tag covers Microsoft’s removal of Mscenery from the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 in-game Marketplaces. The reported action followed community complaints about low-quality add-ons, misleading product presentation, and unusually high user ratings whose credibility was questioned. The discussion treats the vendor’s public removal as an unusual marketplace enforcement step, rather than a quiet cleanup of individual listings. It also considers what the episode says about the growing importance of the simulator’s add-on economy and the need for stronger marketplace governance. Readers can use this page to follow coverage of vendor credibility, product quality, ratings, and Microsoft’s response.
