The
Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) was down about 0.1% at 11:45 a.m. EST Thursday, a small move to end what has been an eventful year for the stock market. The Dow crashed below 20,000 in March as the COVID-19 pandemic reached the U.S. and led to widespread stay-at-home orders. The pandemic was never brought under control, but that didn t stop the Dow from eventually carving out new all-time highs later in the year. The Dow will end 2020 up more than 6% if nothing changes by the end of the day.
In the past few months, Apple has been clamping down aggressively on apps that were listed on the App Store in China without a valid license from the Chinese government. As per a
Reuters report, the company has pulled down another batch of 39,000 games from its app repository in China, all of which were axed for not being licensed. This is reportedly
the largest single-day purge of apps from the App Store.
Apple purged 46,000 apps in one go
The report adds that Apple removed a total of 46,000 in one go, and some of them were from big-name studios and developers. Among the apps that got axed in Apple’s latest swing are NBA 2K20 and Assassin’s Creed Identity by Ubisoft. Such was the severity of the action that merely 74 out of the top 1,500 games on the App Store in China were left unscathed, while the rest were pulled.

What just happened? Starting earlier this year, Apple began removing apps from its regional store at the behest of the Chinese government. Paid apps, or those with in-app purchases, must be licensed with a China-issued ISBN. Apple gave developers fair warning that unlicensed apps would be removed. To meet the deadline, Cupertino conducted its biggest purge yet on the last day of 2020.
Apple removed more than 46,000 apps from its China store on Thursday, marking the largest single-day purge ever. Games made up the vast majority of the deletions, with some 39,000 titles taken down. Notable examples include Ubisoft s Assassin s Creed Identity and NBA 2K20. Research firm Qimai said that only 74 of the top 1,500 games in China remain in the App Store.
