I'll jump on the "Ayn Rand" bandwagon. Apple is free to play BS games like this, yanking long-established companies without any reasonable notice or discussion. The companies are welcome to refuse to deal with Apple because of it (and everyone in this business has heard of similar stories before... you can't claim to be surprised that Apple behaves capriciously with regard to the AppStore). But once we get past the "Ayn Rand" philosophy, I want to point out that everyone is hurting themselves. Apple is hurting themselves by raising the perceived RISK of their marketplace in the eyes of developers. Developers are hurting themselves by playing along with this game (although, to be fair, there is money to be made). I wish everyone would just grow up (starting with Apple).
