Amazon App Store: Rotten To The Core | Shifty Jelly

Amazon App Store: Rotten To The Core | Shifty Jelly’s blog of mystery.

That’s right, Amazon gave away 101,491 copies of our app! At this point, we had a few seconds of excitement as well, had we mis-read the email and really earned $54,800 in one day? We would have done if our public agreement was in place, but we can now confirm that thanks to Amazon’s secret back-door deals, we made $0 on that day. That’s right, over 100,000 apps given away, $0 made.
You know, you can shit on Apple for their strict rules and that all you want to, but they don't do this kind of crap. This is almost criminal. And certainly not good for courting developers for a platform!
