> multiple sources at Apple told me Epic’s claims were simply false. There was never a September 11 deadline for their SIWA support to stop working, and in fact, Apple’s SIWA team performed work to make sure SIWA continued working for Fortnite users despite the fact that Epic Games’s developer account had been revoked.
So the other question, is this a standard behavior, or a special circumstance because of Epic's high profile?
Or more to the point, if Apple terminates your developer account, do you think Apple's SIWA team will "perform work to make sure SIWA continues working" for your users?
That is the problem with KOL, spreading wrong information and it spreads as Fact.
Gruber was also the one who spread the Safari Javascript is so much faster than its competitor because Apple have custom SoC and they use specialise ARM instruction to speed it up. And now even HN has a high percentage of people who believe in that without even thinking about it.
And like I said in the previous thread on HN about misinformation. None of these KOL, and including most media / publication care to fact check or to correct their previous wrong reporting.
