If Apple really said their decision was partly based on Epic calling them out on their DMA plans then it seems it should be a pretty easy win in court. Apple would literally be meaning "if you say bad things about us we'll cancel your account." I know private companies aren't bound by the first amendment but surely that can't be legal.

I dunno. Isn’t this kind of like being banned from a sport? Nobody has a right to participate in someone else’s game.
