    Even Mark Gurman can’t resist click bait.

    Epic talking to Apple and agreeing to follow the rules in order to get their developer account back is not Apple “reversing course.” It’s Epic correcting their mistake.

        I don’t subscribe to Bloomberg, but I can only assume he’s talking about it there, too, if tweets don’t count.

        Moral of the story: Don’t tell (or even imply) to one of the most powerful companies in the world that you don’t intend to abide by an upcoming rule change, even if you’re certain you’re right.

        Thankfully, Apple’s crap proposal is still just a proposal.

          The tweet didn’t make any sense to me since it didn’t seem like a developer whining about your policies was ban worthy. It sounds like Epic hadn’t actually broken any rules yet.

          EU regulators must feel like they’re babysitting two spoiled brats.

            We are in complete agreement there.

          Calling apple’s response in the EU “hot garbage” does not equate to “we are not following your rules” unless I am missing something

      Reposting from above:

      Epic agreed to follow the rules before the ban, not the other way around. In fact, the email cited was February 23rd, over two weeks ago.

      Apple 100% made the move in bad faith, and are saving face with “we decided to unban them because they agreed to follow the rules”.
