Now, it appears that Apple has decided to join them by pulling many Civil War wargames from the App Store. As of the writing of this story, games like Ultimate General: Gettysburg and all the Hunted Cow Civil War games are nowhere to be found. Apple is famous for reaching for the axe rather than the scalpel when it comes to political issues (like rejecting Hunted Cow's Tank Battle 1942 for depicting Germans and Russians as enemies), so this move doesn't come as a great surprise. View Quote This country has gone purely insane. |

There's no logic or reason to anything anymore, everything is a meaningless, useless knee-jerk reaction to the feels of the day. I want off this planet.
Who wants to come form an ARFCOM paradise on Mars with me? |

And this suprised you.
Better start preparing, everone has been brainwashed and when The zombies come you better have enough ammo so at least it will Be a good fight. And you better vote Republican so at least you will have a few months before They come for your guns and unborn white racist children.

I've been an Apple supporter since 1986 but this boggles the mind. FU Apple.

This is insane. I'm really at a loss for words right now.
Never would I believe anything like this could ever happen in my lifetime. |

In the mean time, the countless Civil War museums and parks will still be here, preserving the history for everyone to see. |

This country is becoming a strange hybrid of post-Nazi Germany (where books and symbols are banned) and Greece (free shit for everyone! Weeeeeeee!).

Isn't there a word that Jewish people use to describe individuals who deny the Holocaust? Can we coin our own term for those that deny the Civil War? Something more catchy that "Uneducated"?

As you may have been already informed (Read Facebook link), Apple has removed our game from AppStore because of usage of the Confederate Flag. Ultimate General: Gettysburg could be accepted back if the flag is removed from the game's content.
We accept Apple's decision and understand that this is a sensitive issue for the American Nation. We wanted our game to be the most accurate, historical, playable reference of the Battle of Gettysburg. All historical commanders, unit composition and weaponry, key geographical locations to the smallest streams or farms are recreated in our game's battlefield. We receive a lot of letters of gratitude from American teachers who use our game in history curriculum to let kids experience one of the most important battles in American history from the Commander's perspective. Spielberg’s "Schindler's List" did not try to amend his movie to look more comfortable. The historical "Gettysburg" movie (1993) is still on iTunes. We believe that all historical art forms: books, movies, or games such as ours, help to learn and understand history, depicting events as they were. True stories are more important to us than money. Therefore we are not going to amend the game's content and Ultimate General: Gettysburg will no longer be available on AppStore. We really hope that Apple’s decision will achieve the desired results. We can’t change history, but we can change the future. View Quote http://www.ultimategeneral.com/blog/our-game-has-been-removed-from-appstore |

I can't take this anymore. This planet has reached epic proportions of stupid. Is Mars ready to be colonized yet?

The "Civil War" was never fought and Blacks must immediately return to slavery, per the Politically Correct Left.
|

the civil war is a microaggression for a lot of people. Better to just write it out of the history books and pretend it didn't happen like the progressives do in europe (Hitler? what Hitler? Nazis? We BANNED them) for all those historical events that make us have bad feelings.
