You all have seen the banwave, and you all have seen that we had no explanation on how the ban happened.
The detection was at a time that could not be worse for the future of the store, as it combined the new rules, the new share and the banwave in one big reallity.
We are aware, that at this moment sales have dropped at 10-20 % of what they usually where. This is an issue that we all need to handle, but the truth is, that after such an banwave it will take months until we recover to what we had before the banwave.
Now coming back to July 1st, i admit, that i should have done what we do now from the beginning. It comes too late now, but it still is happening.
Now let me give you some numbers, on May 1st, over a month ago, i sent out 92 developer agreements. So far only 6 came back, there are 3 more weeks to go.
The people i got the agreements from - will get their payment as usual on 10-12th this month. The ones that have not yet signed the agreement, will wait. I need to make sure, that once you are gone, the refunds are covered, that is why we will hold the earnings for just a month. Also there is no excuse to say that the postal office is too slow, a priority mail that is delivered within a week between EU <-> US does not cost more than 8 USD. The ones that sent out the agreement and it has not yet arrived, are free to post here and tell me when it was sent. I am that free to proceed your payments too.
This filtration of the store is needed, and from now on we will look to really make the store a better place. We are also hiring someone to fix the visibibity of the store products. That and the fact that a lot of products will be gone by July 1st, gives the opportunity to the ones that stayed.
And to all developers that are leaving us on July 1st, you are excused, no hard feelings. We will make sure that all the rules apply to everyone within our forum, store and products.
