Apple has too much class to offer those colors. Give me a break.

Many VNC apps stream live video and send back commands. You could buy the Golden Gate Bridge using a VNC App without giving Apple a cut. How is this any different?

Seriously!?

If I were Apple I would start revoking developer accounts for developers who promise things they clearly know is against the rules. Sorry, but ANY developer who’s serious about developing for iOS WOULD HAVE READ the contract and UNDERSTOOD what is or isn’t possible. And getting your fan base worked up in a tizzy should be an immediate cancellation of your developer account.

The guidelines have been in place since day one, in fact they’ve become more relaxed since then. There’s no reason ANY developer should attempt to step beyond those rules and hope for the best. Unless they think they can rally their fan base and try to force it. As I said, in that case, cancel their developer account. 

We don’t know what really happened. We have Apple’s words against Valve’s. But what we do know (and what I suspected all along) is this went to the highest levels of Apple leadership.

Steve Jobs once said that developers run to the press and lie, to try and get Apple to change their minds, witch they never do, but in reality they know they are using private APIs or trying to sell things without giving Apple their rightful 30%.

You have no proof whatsoever that “this went to the highest levels of Apple leadership”. Having someone like Schiller comment is not proof. It’s more likely he only commented because this became news (after Steam whined about it) and Schiller had nothing to do with the App approval process.

Of course Schiller had nothing to do with the initial app approval process.  No one has said that he did.  Did you expect the actual employee who conducted the app review to issue a press release? 

Rogifan’s claim is the decision itself to reject the app was executed at the highest level of Apple corporate leadership, not the just the matter of who explains it. We know Schiller is explaining it, but no one outside of Apple knows where the decision was made. That’s Eric’s point. 

Seems nuance is lost on many.

Exactly. They knew that they were cheating, but they did it anyway. No surprise that the app got booted.

Apple curates the hell out of these apps. Nobody curates nearly as good as Anple. Google is a joke.
