Tweet of the Day, Apple Kind Of LIKES Having Historically Ignorant Customers edition.

This, of course, would be huge news if it were Steam or GOG. Fortunately, it’s just the Apple Store.

The people who did Ultimate General: Gettysburg (which I have just purchased on Steam; it’s also available on GOG), one of the games that was pulled, had this to say:

Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List” did not try to amend his movie to look more comfortable. The historical “Gettysburg” movie (1993) is still on iTunes. We believe that all historical art forms: books, movies, or games such as ours, help to learn and understand history, depicting events as they were. True stories are more important to us than money.

Therefore we are not going to amend the game’s content and Ultimate General: Gettysburg will no longer be available on AppStore.

Look, it’s no skin off of my nose if Apple decides to dance at the whim of the Mob, but is this really a good use of their time? As opposed to, say, fixing iTunes so that it doesn’t suck anymore?  Just asking.

  2. As a former Apple customer with no particular axe to grind except for my own personal experiences in dealing with them? #@*% Apple. Apple SUCKS at customer relations. I will dance on Apple’s grave when they inevitably implode.

    1. When the product works, it’s pretty much magical. When it doesn’t… it’s magical then, too, only you don’t know the f*cking spell that repairs it.
