The Apple App Store Join’s In On The Confederate Flag Boycott

Apple has joined the boycott of the Confederate flag that large retailers like Amazon, eBay, Sears, Target, and Walmart are apart of. Apple is removing any content featuring the Confederate flag from the App Store. Titles like Ultimate General: Gettysburg and the entire Hunted Cow series have disappeared. Apple is telling developers that the apps are being removed because “it includes images of the confederate flag used in offensive and mean-spirited ways”. The Charleston, South Carolina massacre on June 17 has caused an outcry against the use of the Confederate flag, which was still flying above the state’s capitol building. Retailers like Wal-Mart acted swiftly in pulling all Confederate flag merchandise from its stores. This is a smart move on Apple’s part, but it does mean there is a void of historical games from the Civil War period. Hopefully those apps can remain on the App Store if they change a few things. What do you think about this outcry ?
