Apple Removes Historically Accurate Strategy Game ‘Afghanistan ’11’ by Slitherine From the App Store for Using The Taliban as Enemies

Apples has apparently decided it will now remove wargames that uses "people from a specific government or other real entity as the enemies." You mean like every realistic wargame ever made? So now WWII, Napoleonic, or Civil War games are offensive and are to be pulled from the Apple store as well?

Game designed Norm Koger commented on this story as well, saying "...and people wonder why we don't do iOS anymore."

Thanks for the news tip. Shame on Apple for censoring history.
