If all developers wrote one email to handango complaining about the 
unneeded increase in fees, I bet the'd have to drop that price 
gouging.

It's a rather easy test to verify.  They say because of their extra 
work they have to increase fees.  They also admit that they have had 
a 50% increase in revenues.  If they have an increase of 50% in 
revenues, why do they need the increase in fees?

But the question to ask, is have your sales gone up, because of their 
efforts to justify the extra 10%.  mine have not changed one little 
bit.  

If your sales have not gone up with Handango, their increase is not 
justified.
