People have invested time and money in this platform, and yet Apple decides to
change the terms of the game and screw them over completely.
Investing in a platform does not guarantee you'll profit from your investment, nor does it oblige the provider to continue providing you the means to recoup your investment.
- Raphael_Amiard 17y agoThe fact that they have the right to do it doesn't make it right. What in this sentence do you not understand ? Also, Apple relies on developers to make some of their profit. Even if it's a relatively small profit, screwing theirs openly doesn't look like a very clever business practice to me.
- stcredzero 17y agoIs it "wrong" or is it just obnoxious and bad business? Did Apple make some sort of promise not to pull this sort of nonsense? Such promises do exist, BTW. They are called Open Source licenses. (Not an Open Source zealot by any means!) Lesson learned, time to move on. Make a note that Apple is capable of this. Protect yourself with platform diversification or with platform on a FOSS license. Move on and make something of value.
