    “threat” is just competition, right?

    Fine 'em, EU!

  “More recently, you have described our DMA compliance as ‘hot garbage,’ a ‘horror show,’ and a ‘devious new instance of Malicious Compliance.’ And you have complained about what you called ‘Junk Fees’ and ‘Apple taxes.”

  I’m sorry, but this exchange is just plain hilarious to me. 🤣 It reads like a recording between a couple going through an acrimonious divorce.

  What’s wrong Apple? Afraid of some actual competition?

    I love the rending of clothes and gnashing of teeth.

  If Apple really said their decision was partly based on Epic calling them out on their DMA plans then it seems it should be a pretty easy win in court. Apple would literally be meaning “if you say bad things about us we’ll cancel your account.” I know private companies aren’t bound by the first amendment but surely that can’t be legal.

    I dunno. Isn’t this kind of like being banned from a sport? Nobody has a right to participate in someone else’s game.
