Apple’s contempt for games: Civil War apps are latest casualties of the company’s double standard

Apple is still treating games like they don’t matter.

The iPhone manufacturer has allegedly started removing games that feature the flag of the Confederate States of America (as first reported by TouchArcade). Games like Civil War: 1863 and Ultimate General: Gettysburg are no longer available for download on the iOS App Store. Apple is likely making this move as part of a response to the national outcry over the continued reverence for the symbol in parts of the United States. Retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and Sears all agreed to stop selling the emblem, which represented the side of the U.S. Civil War that fought to protect the practice of slavery.
