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. > Out of curiosity, would it be practical to charge different prices > through different distributors?
