San Francisco, Oct 6 (Ians) Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, who is now involved in a legal dispute with Apple, has claimed that “Apple had no justification for it” as the tech giant started to implement App Store price increases across all territories and countries that use the euro.
According to MacRumors, as there is no substitute App Store for developers to use, Sweeney, in a statement, compared Apple to a landlord with tenants who have nowhere else to go.
“Imagine if a landlord told their small business tenant they had to increase their prices without any say in the matter or anywhere else to go. That is what Apple is doing to developers for no other reason than to pad Apple’s bottom line,” Sweeney was quoted as saying.
“They are unilaterally imposing a price increase on developers across multiple countries without any justification. Developers don’t have a choice...

"The Amazing Race" returns Sunday, Sept. 29 with Phil Keoghan still at the helm and now CBS has announced the 11 teams that will race around the world for a $1 million prize.
See all 11 teams here in our photo gallery
This season, which marks the 23nd race around the world for the series, will bring back the Double Express Pass twist that was introduced last season, in which the first Team to check in at the first pit stop will earn two "Express Passes" -- one to keep for themselves and one that must be given to another Team by the end of the fifth leg of the Race.
As Teams travel through four continents and nine countries, spanning more than 35,000 miles, they will paraglide high above the skies of Iquique, Chile, subject themselves to a bone-chilling plunge in Norway and buckle up for Formula One Racing in Abu Dhabi.
