Apollo will close down on June 30th

Stop with the drama. If you build a product that is 100% reliant on someone else's API, and you're not prepared for this exact scenario, shame on you. We've seen this happen numerous times over the course of multiple decades. It sucks, but is to be expected. Acting like the sky is falling is just silly at this point.

I'm also sure all those pre-ipo employees are just going to quit because other people are having temper tantrums. /s

Consider reading TFA. The dev in question was actively lied to by reddit about the availability of the API, and DID have a plan for this scenario, just not one that could be executed in the unreasonably short time frame of the API changes.

That's one side of the story and unless an enforceable contract exists, it's completely meaningless what reddit supposedly said.

Agree with the commenter above, I encourage you to read the original post we are commenting on. All of the calls were recorded and transcribed.

You are right that there is no agreement of course, but the way they're treating the dev sounds, in the most charitable explanation, extremely disorganized and a bit rude.

But there are both sides, actual recordings of the calls.

Meaningless in a court sense, maybe. Indefensible in all other respects.
