No, Apply will just selectively turn a blind eye when it's convenient for them, and arbitrarily apply the restriction in other cases. Evil.

- colinplamondon 17y agoExpected. There's a three tier system- Tier A partners like EA, Tier B developers that are preferred by Apple, like Cultured Code, Omni, and TapTapTap, and Tier C developers, who Apple doesn't do anything special for. Kick ass for a sustained period of time and you can get into Tier B, be a multi-billion dollar company and you're Tier A. Awesome thing is, though, that you can reasonably compete as a Tier C developer with Tier B and Tier A developers, it's just that they get a head start with being featured. That's surmountable, so it's not a big deal.
- tumult 17y agoHow am I supposed to catch up with them if they already are allowed to use features and languages and thought processes that I'm not? It makes no sense.
- sketerpot 17y agoCompete with them on Android, perhaps? </modest-proposal>
- colinplamondon 17y agoThe same way everyone else has- this shit's not rocket science. You just have to be on your game. It's about marketing, not features and languages.
- sunchild 17y agoThat's called exercising discretion. It happens under the real laws too. I don't think you know what "evil" means.
- tumult 17y agoYou are wrong, selective enforcement is evil.
- sunchild 17y agoSelective enforcement implies a binary decision. This is rarely the case with legal matters: most of the time some discretion is required (even expected) as part of enforcement. This is what judges and juries are for under the common and statutory laws and in interpreting contract obligations.
- axod 17y agoDon't be daft. What makes you think Businesses have to treat everyone fairly? If business A wants to do some special deal with business B that gives B special access or the ability to do things that no one else is allowed to, that's just life. It's by no means evil.
- axod 17y agoThat's not evil lol They're a business.
