Apple Terminated Epic’s Developer Account

Lmao. I’ve no love for Apple, and even less for Epic. It’s like two grotesquely unlovable toddlers are throwing a hissy fit in their little sandbox and I’m here for it.

Wow, they do this just 2 days after being fined $2 billion by EU!
Unless you don't know this "Tim Apple", those fines have a tendency to increase with repeated violations.

Sucks to be an iOS developer. Apple will never give up it's 30% of your money. EVER.

Thought it was just going to be one of those nothing burger cases where they only lost the license because someone forgot to renew something and was surprised that it actually isn't that.

Fuck Epic but they have a point.

Apple said one of the reasons they terminated our developer account only a few weeks after approving it was because we publicly criticized their proposed DMA compliance plan. Apple cited this X post from this thread written by Tim Sweeney. Apple is retaliating against Epic for speaking out against Apple’s unfair and illegal practices, just as they’ve done to other developers time and time again.

Epic breached the terms of its agreements with Apple and Google to kick off its lawsuits against them in 2020, and now that Sweeney is openly complaining about Apple's terms for third-party app stores Apple doesn't trust Epic not to breach those too. Seems reasonable.

I hope this come to bite them hard.

It hasn't been terminated yet‽

OMG APPLE IS SO LAME AND UNBASED
