Appleās notoriously haphazard approvals policy for App Store games continues unabated. Only a few months after a historical game about the Second World War was blocked for daring to use flags, a serious game about the current conflict in Syria has been barred for much the same reason.

Pocket Tactics discovered last night that Auroch Digitalās Endgame Syriaāpart of the Game The News schemeāhad been ārejected by Appleās approvals team for violating guidelines section 15.3ā, which forbids titles from āsolely target[ing] a specific race, culture, a real government or corporation, or any other real entityā.
In other words, Appleās approvals and app guideline process forbids the most basic form of political expression and commentary. Itād be hilariously absurd if the joke hadnāt worn off long ago.
