Developers doing business with PalmGear should already know about their excellent bookkeeping – they had insane issues paying out royalties in the past. Handango, on the other hand, were known to be moronic but pay on time. Murphy’s law states that minus and minus is more minus – and it looks like the merger brought out the worst sides of both companies.
According to insider information, Handango has suspended payments. A group of developers are fed up with this situation, and are planning to gang up on the boys:
We de-listed everything from Handango as soon as we heard about the PalmGear take-over. Too late though. Handango immediately implemented a freeze on all developer payments as per PalmGear’s mo. That was back in March IIRC.
At this point we have had multiple email requests for final payments ignored or answered with template text that all dev payments are suspended until the restructuring is completed. We threatened to sue but HD couldn’t care less. Obviously.
So – seems we’re not alone in this boat and even small claims court costs money. Hence the question – maybe pool a bunch of claims? Is that even possible?
Should anyone of you be interested in joining in on the action, please leave a comment with your email address here – we will then put you in touch!
