Feedback on my Steam page? Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) 40th Anniversary Edition Hi all! I'm working on Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) 40th Anniversary Edition and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1250410/ I ran it through a page checker and it scored 78/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were links & community (50), trailers (60), long description (67), so I'd especially like your take on: 1. Is there anything you'd want to check (Discord, devlog, socials) before wishlisting? 2. In the first 5 seconds of the trailer, do you see gameplay? 3. Did you scroll the description, or bounce? Where did you stop? Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/microsoft-flight-simulator-2020-40th-anniversary-edition Thanks, and happy to return the favour on your page!
Check each community's rules first; many have a weekly feedback thread or require a gameplay video.
