Today I received a replacement product id for MyTube, and it got me thinking about how I haven't paid for any apps on Windows Phone since removing the ads from 6snap. I've had a few apps removed completely from the store now, and a few bugs concerning other paid apps, and the way MS has handled these problems has completely put me off wanting to lay out any cash on more apps.
I figure I can't be the same person in this boat, so that means developers are missing out on potential revenue, which would put them off making more apps for the store and/or having bad word of mouth between developers. Surely MS should realise that it should be keeping devs and end users happy if it wants its store to thrive?
Could someone who understands the situation better than me explain why MS seems to be so unhelpful?
Edit: Incidentally, though MyTube now works as a fully paid app, the store still assumes that it's not, which leads me to believe that it was entirely the developer who came up with this work around.
