Apple Putting 'Confederate Flag' Games Back

A couple of days ago, Apple pulled everything from the App Store that had a Confederate flag in it. This was in response to the growing opinion in the USA that the losing side of the Civil War no longer needs to be represented above public buildings, as well as several supermarket chains removing products showing the flag from sale (we're yet unsure how sales of the PlayStation and Xbox classic Dukes of Hazzard have been affected).

If the games had been racist in nature, as people see those who are the main purchaser of said flagged products, then we are sure that would have been fine. But it was not, it was historical war games for the most part, such as Ultimate War: Gettysburg.

In response to Apple removing them, sales on Steam of some titles such as the aforementioned Ultimate War, actually rose quite a bit.

However, Apple are now allowing titles back onto the App Store. Some of them are allowed back with no changes, but the major difference will be in the app icon and screenshots no longer showing the flag.

This is the second public outcry that Apple have received in less than a week, as their new subscription service was not paying artists for the first three months of each new users free trial. An open letter from Taylor Swift later (because she's so desperate for money), and they are now paying those three months too.
