If a few high-profile exists like this happen, Apple could be forced into the position of backtracking or steam-rolling ahead. Neither are good for the company.

- billturner 17y agoI'm not sure this is true. Unfortunately, I highly doubt there will be any backtracking. Especially with the email quotes from Jobs that have popped up in various weblogs. And steam-rolling ahead, they'll lose a hundred (a couple hundred) apps from the App Store. Compared to the 150,000+ apps available, I don't see how they would perceive it as a big deal to lose so few.
- pierrefar 17y agoIt's not about the number of apps lost, but about the message that "Apple is not good to the people who make my app and they're leaving" getting out. It takes a few high-profile bad reports like this for a negative impression to form and that's hard to reverse.
