That's a nice little rival app but it is in our manor, pay us a third of your profits or it will get damaged

Basecamp launched its email product Hey earlier this week and has already had war declared upon it by the fruity cargo cult.

Apple fanboy David Heinemeier Hansson, the co-founder of Basecamp said that Apple has rejected HEY's ability to provide bug fixes and new features, unless it submited to “an outrageous demand” of 15-30 percent of its revenue.

Apple has threatened that unless Basecamp pays up, Apple will remove the app.

“We're told that unless we comply, they'll remove the app. On the day the EU announced their investigation into Apple's abusive App Store practices, HEY is subject to those very same capricious, exploitive, and inconsistent policies of shakedown. It's clear they feel embolden to tighten the screws with no fear of regulatory consequences.”

The Tame Apple Press has left Apple alone over its App Store policies. Most of its abuses were suffered by smaller developers without a platform and without recourse so Apple saw that being an arse worked, and that it paid.
