But if you wanted to get paid, whether by going through a distributor or building your own payment- and billing system, it would cost you way more than just 15% (especially if you factor in the lost time dealing with all that).
Global distribution, sales support and payment, for just 15%, that’s possibly the best deal that’s ever been available to developers.
