Apple's taking a 30% cut of $a-lot-of-money that passes through their App Store because of EA's games, I don't think they're going to rescind their ability to develop for iOS.

Yes, but Apple is always willing to prioritize users over developers, which is why Apple is constantly pissing off developers by making them jump through extra hoops. Apple is not going to yank EA's apps, but it's likely that EA is going to get a call from Apple.

  However Apple doesn't put users before dollars in the case of the kindle app and the recent dropbox debacle, regarding the whole in app purchase crap.

    I think what he means is that Apple has no qualms about calling a company's bluff when they're breaking appstore policies.

    Those were strategic decisions, though. In this case, EA needs Apple a LOT more than Apple needs EA.

Apple cares about selling hardware. App Store revenues are absolutely nothing compared to their hardware margins. Anyone who fucks with their ability to sell feel-good hardware will get the lash. Let's see how fucked-with they feel after this.
