I reckon most people who wrote extensions would be happy for Google to keep the $25 and instead refund the time they spent writing the extension.

I appreciate that he had sympathy, but I think max he can do is refund $25. I think that that amount is the least of concern to the most developers.

yeah, I've made my money back so I'm not as concerned about the $25, but there goes any chance of growing the revenue in any meaningful way.

I am getting a kick out of all the people here saying that "no one pays for extensions". I've consistently made $50-100 from mine with no marketing whatsoever.

That relative small amount is cool for your efforts, but is just one example

$100 total? Doesn’t sound like a lot unless you worked on it for a day.

Sorry, no monthly.

Did you have to do much support?

I get an occasional request for new features maybe once a month. If I can add them in a few minutes I do, otherwise I tell them it isn't supported and won't be. So basically, no.
