And the derpfest rages on.
Apple has joined other retailers in boycotting the Confederate flag by removing Civil War games from the App Store.
Apple’s Tim Cook spearheaded the move. "In a tweet, Cook called to honor the lives of the victims in last week’s tragic South Carolina shooting by “eradicating racism & removing the symbols & words that feed it.” An Alabama native like myself, Cook has been a strong proponent for equality during his tenure as CEO, often speaking out against the South’s tarnished history and the changes we still need to address," writes 9 to 5 Mac.
According to Touch Arcade, "the reasoning Apple is sending developers is "...because it includes images of the confederate flag used in offensive and mean-spirited ways."
Right, because all history should be polite, unoffensive, and politically correct. Nevermind the fact that in each of these scenarios the Confederacy is ultimately defeated...
Some of the games in exile look super offensivey, don't they?
