It was mind-blowing to me that in previous threads, Apple fanatics were defending Apple, saying that Epic had broken the developer agreement. It hadn't. Schiller clearly stated that he banned Epic because he didn't believe Sweeney when Sweeney literally said that he would abide by the agreement. I don't see this behavior with any other company.

A childish move, unexpected from such a company like apple especially with timing.

Which probably boils down to one overzealous middle/higher manager trying too hard to be a good boi for superiors to get extra bonus... I don't think it panned as expected. Otherwise apple corporate culture is quite rotten.

There is no way such a decision was not approved by the upper echelon of management. That has both legal ramifications and monetary for a huge client.

The Epic blog post shows emails with Phil Schiller and Craig Federighi. This was all approved by upper management.

Especially when you add the failed PWA move before, they're starting to look pretty bad.
