It's not that they "suddenly" started complaining, it's been an ongoing complaint about the app store from customers, I'm sure. It's just Apple decided to fold under their pressure now.
Fact is, Apple was making more money with all those b00b apps on the store, of course they wanted to push the limits and see what they could get away with, which we should thank them for.
The App Store is still very young, and has a long future ahead of it. If customers are now starting to perceive it as a "sex app store" then that not only hurts Apple, it hurts us developers too, because in the long run we will still have a huge customer base browsing our apps.
I don't mind that Playboy and SI are still up there, they are big players and they deserve it. Apple changed their guidelines mainly to get rid of their image as a "sex app store" because honestly, every category you went into there were bewbs this and thongs that. It needed to change before it hurt the platform all together.
Stop bashing Apple, they made a good move by doing this.
