I imagine it was the 20% figure they quoted eariler.

The same figure can be found on Amazon's app store FAQ

What is the payment structure between Amazon and me?
Amazon pays developers 70% of the sale price of the app or 20% of the list price, whichever is greater.

I assume this is the "public agreement" they were hoping for, and apparently used by Amazon when calculating the "Earnings" column.

They published it and in 2 days apparently made $50k.


Did we read the same articles? I remember reading one that talked about having a few hundred sales at best, than that thousands of copies were given away for free. Can you quote where $50k was actually made, as in provided to someone in the form of usable money, not "This is what you would have gotten if all of this was actually real."

So now I'm curious about why it didn't go through or why they had no control over holding sales until it went through. I still think they're being whiny, I just feel like we're missing a large part of the story now.

You're so setting yourself up for when your health insurance or car insurance won't pay out.


Huh?

I assume that d000hg is suggesting that your health insurance will drop you or refuse a payout due to a hypertechnicality in some clause, as happens from time to time, the idea being that terms of a contract you signed lead to that contract not doing what you expected/hoped it would.
