The name was approved by Apple years ago. The developer built the brand on that name. What changed? Apple's policies (on their whims). If Apple has to come down hard, they should bear the cost of the re-branding at least to measurably communicating widely regarding the rename. It is sad that Apple exercises so much power callously.

What changed? Apple's policies

Companies change policies all the time. I get dozens of terms of service revision alerts in my e-mail each year.

Same goes for government policies, and even personal policies. You wouldn't make decisions today based solely on things you thought ten years ago.

Life changes. Policies change. Things change.

Doesn't make it right. I shouldn't be shocked to find some contrarian/nihilist defending EULAs and corporate bullshit on HN, but here we are.
