You will do what you are told

Jobs' Mob is planning to terminate Epic Games' access to its App Store and app development tools and punish any third party developers who work with the company, in a bid to make the game maker do what it is told.

For those who came in late, Epic has been trying to prove how much Apple is running a cartel through its app store by placing an in-game payment system in its popular games. Apple has responded by pulling Fortnite from its App store.

Now it seems Apple is ramping up the pressure by denying developers access to the store on August 28. Apple has never said that Epic's third party developers have done anything wrong or violated any policy, so it now happy to punish the innocent if it gets back at Epic.

That includes Epic's access to the development tools necessary to create software for the Unreal Engine that Epic offers to third-party developers for their games. In response, Epic has filed a court order asking a Northern California court to stop Apple from removing Epic's *App Store* access.
