It's astonishing the number of people in this thread that don't understand the basis of Epic's lawsuit. There's way to much of "Epic broke the ToS, therefore everything Apple decides to do in retaliation is justified".
First off, Epic's whole lawsuit is that parts of Apple's ToS are illegal, and thus Apple has no grounds to enforce it as they did. Secondly, the kind of retaliation Apple has attempted to do here very much resembles anti-consumer monopolistic behavior. Apple is using their position in one market (common sign in, developer tools, hardware) to enforce their position in another (app store). Classic no-no.
Obviously the final determination on these points will be made by the courts. In the meantime, if Apple isn't an anti-consumer monopoly, they sure are walking, talking and quacking like one.
