Indeed, they can, but this doesn't mean they will do. Sure, some will especially the top 10 devs who make some money selling add-ons while others who do it mostly for helping the community will not bother with that. And I know it from the days before the marketplace was live.

I just checked the marketplace stats, and with 59 mods purchased to date, I think I can have a word about this decision: For me, the marketplace was a great way to: See what new addons have been released and decide if I should install them on the community I manage. Keep up with the updates and install when one is available. These things will no longer be possible without the marketplace, and I will have to check ten different dev sites, install updates manually, etc. A major drawback for me. I don't have access to financials, but from your latest actions, I see that you want to focus on the enterprise customers that take a cloud-managed plan because that's where the money is. And also, enterprise customers only install a few add-ons.
