I’m not sure that Apple denying an app into its App Store because that company criticised Apple on one of its marketing pages is justified.

It’s not “justified”. I’m merely pointing out (a) hypocrisy by BaseCamp (and subsequent marketing lies), and (b) the old adage that you don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

It might be nice to believe you can snip at a company’s products (and in this case, using false claims), and believe it won’t affect at all a separate issue (App Store submissions), but that’s not the real world.

Sometimes, you attract attention by antics. Maybe Fried and Co. are learning a small lesson about the real world.

Aside from all that, this whining about how Apple is keeping them from profits is a bit nauseating. Their sad product (Hey) is keeping them from profits.
