Three Grumpy Simmers - EP037 - Ratings-What?!

The Three Grumpy Simmers are back to start a new year of Grumpy Nonsense with a topic about feedback.

Following an off-hand comment from a developer, the resident Grumpies look at rating systems, their positives and negatives and where responsibility lies.

We pick apart the current ratings of MSFS and ask the question why they are the way they are? Can platforms make a better system? Can we as users do more to help improve our simming experience? (Spoiler... Yes we can!)

Buckle in for an hour of whimsical nonsense that touches a few home truths for content creators and consumers everywhere!
