Not defending spez, but their business model was not designed to support third party apps, that much is true. They needed a proper model to share profits with third party apps.

How they went about "fixing" that was completely dilletantish and dumbfounding, though. Now they're not getting any of that potential extra profit and lost a significant amount of users on top
