I couldn't agree more, I have no problem with charging for API use they paid to develop it so charging for it is more than fair enough, but setting the price at literally millions of dollars (for the likes of Apollo) is absolutely absurd and then giving the affected parties 30 days to figure out what the hell they were going to do is so dishonest and underhanded. And then spez's completely out of touch comments basically calling us all idiots that are just going to fall into line because the lord says so was the smega sprinkles on the whole shit sundae.
