The Y Combinator antitrust complaint-fest is out of touch. Claims “platforms stifle innovation”, yet number of tech co. exploded from ~10k in 2000 to 500k by '25 in just US. Ask our EU members dealing w/ over-regulation, DMA isn't helping. #NoOneWantsTechAtTheSpeedOfGovernment

Epic Games is acting like it’s entitled to special treatment from App Review—despite being the same company that covertly hotfixed Fortnite to bypass Apple’s payment system in 2020. The audacity to now complain about the deeper review process after that history is wild.

Allowing Epic Games to distribute Fortnite on the App Store, especially without a very thorough review process, would be a very bad precedent to set against every honest developer who puts in the effort to comply with App Store guidelines. Apple is absolutely right here.
