@rileytestut I don’t think you should feel ashamed. You didn’t know that’d go this far in their belief that developers and creatives *owed* them. It’s disgusting but I never would’ve thought this is where we’d end up either.

If anything Apple owes developers for making them as successful as they are. I’m sad they don’t *want* to see that.
