[QUOTE="Worf, post: 183253, member: 1047"] Depends on the store, I believe. On Android, FarSight controls everything - when you buy a table from them, Google Play shuffles you to FarSight's checkout page and you pay FarSight directly. So FarSight controls the pricing because they're basically selling it to you. (They're also responsible for calculating taxes and all that, which is why sometimes a $0.99 app will get charged tax and other times not). On iTunes, Apple does it all - FarSight sets the price in US dollars and Apple takes care of the conversions and all that and hands over a cheque. Apple does all the taxes and reporting as well. On Sony and probably Microsoft - well, they try to do it all. Or more precisely, they decide what the price should go for. While Apple basically lets the developer sets the price, on Sony/Microsoft, they take the suggested price and run with that, but they control pricing in their stores, the developer has less say in how things go. Problem is, if there's a pricing problem, the best FarSight could do is tell Sony something's wrong. It's up to Sony to actually fix it. So on Android, FarSight can easily update the prices immediately by logging in and adjusting the foreign exchange prices directly. On iTunes, Apple sets the price but it's a standard across-the-board pricing. On Sony, Sony sets the price, and FarSight needs to tell them to update the pricing. [/QUOTE]
