You would think they would have this operating to it's maximum, and as slick and well organised as possible. Instead at present it's a shambles, updates taking weeks, so after you spent on the product you wanted, it fails to work for weeks on end. i rather go for the big spreadsheet, and knowing if there's  an issue after an update, i know there will be an update sometimes within hours to fix the issue.

Buying from the Market place is like buying a Rolex watch from someone walking down 42nd street in New York City, who has 5 of them on his wrist, and they are all "on sale"

Because all the addons are stolen? Or fake? I don't get the reference.

If you buy the watch, and walk a few feet and find out that it doesn't work, try getting some support or a refund.  Get it now? 🙄

Ah ok. In those circumstances you would just beat the wordnotaloud out of the vendor so it still doesn't work very well. Never mind.

And another point, the files in the Marketplace are copyprotected by DRM.

That means, if something happend to your account, the files are gone.

Costs me more then 300 bucks at the past, by hacking my account..

Not just that - it prevent applying (most) mods and 3rd party fixes to Marketplace modules.

The marketplace may be slower regarding updates, but not having to regularly run dozens of different updaters from all the different payware vendors is a huge advantage for a lot of people.

You will never find the vendor, just like you won't find out how to get an update for what you buy on the marketplace.

If Carenado sold on their site I would gladly buy them there but they don't and I like their addons, faults and all so I have no choice. It's the only thing I have bought from the Marketplace, everything else I want is available direct from the maker or publisher. We all have a choice to make and we are all adults.

How is your Mooney working? 

 

 

 

What happens if nobody buys from the marketplace?

Fine apart from a few minor issues that are annoying but I can live with while I wait. Have you uninstalled yours? 

Like I said I like their products and if this is the only way to buy them then so be it. I will buy the C337 the second it is released.

No it just sits on blocks in the hangar, waiting for Carenado and their accomplices at the market Place to fix it. I guess their warranty is , "if it breaks in half, you get to keep both halves. "

Then they will put someone in charge of the market Place that knows how E Commerce properly works.
