It's especially funny (? not the right word for it) when compared to
our users. We write apps that the user pays $1 or $2 for and then
demands customer support and updates for the rest of their lives. The
Google Market provides a service and takes 30% of our income, but
doesn't even provide a method of contacting support. 1 star.

Oh, the irony runs deeper than that, actually. Because there's no way for users to contact Market support either, they contact us instead. So we developers pay Google 30%, then are expected to support their Market problems out of our $0.69 share. That's when users can even complete the purchase, that is - I'm sure I'm not the only dev who frequently gets emails from people who can't even get that far.
