http://www.ultimategeneral.com/blog/our ... m-appstore
As you may have been already informed (Read Facebook link), Apple has removed our game from AppStore because of usage of the Confederate Flag. Ultimate General: Gettysburg could be accepted back if the flag is removed from the game's content.
We accept Apple's decision and understand that this is a sensitive issue for the American Nation. We wanted our game to be the most accurate, historical, playable reference of the Battle of Gettysburg. All historical commanders, unit composition and weaponry, key geographical locations to the smallest streams or farms are recreated in our game's battlefield.
We receive a lot of letters of gratitude from American teachers who use our game in history curriculum to let kids experience one of the most important battles in American history from the Commander's perspective.
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. We really hope that Apple’s decision will achieve the desired results.
We can’t change history, but we can change the future.

The UK is currently experiencing a massive revival in racism even though holocaust denial can land you in jail in some places. Driving racism underground only ensures a thriving underground racist scene.

In my experience, real racists are far more educated* and witty*. Being that racism is so universally unacceptable in many places, racists cloak themselves in philosophical and political arguments and movements. The rise of volkisch, neo-paganism and ancestor worship in parts of Europe is very much tied to white supremacy.debaser71 wrote:I know many racists here in New York.

Anyway, I think that racism here in New York and other very urbanized placed is different than the racism found in the back woods of Georgia or somewhere like that.
As far as the confederate flag flying on government buildings...I don't care that much but IMO it should be removed. In general I don't think government buildings should be playing politics, they should be for doing politics. I'd even be for a no flag policy at all, save for state flags and american flags. No goofy flags, no religious symbols, no political statements, etc...seems simple enough.
YMMV.

About a week or so ago, they announced they had found someone to represent them. That person is an aging, Jewish Canadian Civil Rights attorney, so that's good. He's been disbarred, so that's bad. Many lawyers consider his disbarment a shameful politically motivated act by Canada, so that's good. But after a long fight his attempt to counsel others as a paralegal was denied, so that's bad. On the other hand, due to all of that, he works pretty cheaply, so that's good.
Overall, good news then.
Apparently, since that announcement they found a non-disbarred lawyer who will represent them in court, with consultations by the other guy. So that may actually be good.
I learned this from ghazi, who were snickering about the badgers hiring disbarred lawyers, and didn't do any research to find that his disbarment may have been a politically motivated act and so end up looking as though the endorse political chicanery to keep civil rights lawyers from practicing law.
I learned this from ghazi and doing a bit of research on my own, assume I know shit and have it wrong as I learned it from shitheads who have most things wrong.

Agreed 100%. The type of racism you get from north-eastern liberal whites is almost completely the opposite from the racism you get from southern "red-necks." Not sure which is worse. The former is subtle and deep, and probably has a more wide-spread effect. But the latter can lead to the occasional death.debaser71 wrote:I know many racists here in New York.
