Hahaha, yeah, I only moved to Berlin 25 years ago...
So when a friend from another company called me on or around July 20 telling me about the email about the 60 day delay, and I was on vacation then, the very first thing that came to mind was "they're bankrupt, they just don't know it yet". This wasn't meant to imply malicious behaviour, it just meant that 60 days until payment is simply not competitive, considering that Fastspring does biweekly reports and payments. I was sure that many - if not everyone - was gonna leave DR/MyCommerce.
In the meantime we've been spammed by other MoRs which openly market their platform as alternative to DR since, I paraphrase, "we have a massive influx from there as you've surely heard about..." - this indicates to me that my initial assumption, that people are going to leave them in droves, was somewhat correct.
I think the further delays past then 60 days are probably a reaction to this. I think the new owners gambled when they took over, and to me it seems like they miscalculated how this would pan out.
Dunno.
