“C'mon, wtf... Apple”

Yet if it was a movie or a book it would be allowed.

This game must be better with no violence towards a child... /s

Oh boy the interesting artistic deaths in that one were.... Interesting.

[Kalebninja]

dont lie to yourself its clearly based on how violent it is. what movie have you seen with a kid being mutilated like BoI?

Ridiculous... Apple censorship is borderline false Puritanism, no matter what form it is in, creative expression should not be repressed. Get your freaking criteria together.

You can poison the whole world (which includes kids) but once a kid dies on screen to fake creatures all HELL breaks loose

[MeteorPanda]

well they're not wrong. l dunno. you decided to make the game pretty graphic towards a little kid (the story's pretty brutal). They have to stand by their rules, cant let a good game bypass that even if it's amazing. also they don't even care about money at this point, so much in the bank they can afford to turnt his gem away.

and for the record...no..don't play this game on a phone, c'mon gamers, where's your honor?

I sooo agree with this comment.

Don't confuse poor parenting with allowing the game in the App store. If a parent allows the child to download all the wants, that´s a problem. However that should not be a result of Apple deciding what is allowed in a game. In so much as they don't apply the same treatment to movies or music, this is in fact a form of censorship. It´s right up there with France covering up works or art, just because the Iraq president´s would be offended by the Roman and Greek statues due to this religious beliefs.

relax buddy. No one said shit about bad parenting or..country negotiations.

[TrailerParkBoys]

Violence against white adult males only allowed

[XtraTrstrL]

tee hee

[PancakeLova]

Prob not the best game to control on a phone or tablet

[slappy508]

Pity.. This game wouldve been a hit...

[kevinsheeks]

lol this is kind of silly but oh well

Apple is a bastion of progressive thought. Censorship is one of the pillars of this ideology. Censorship for anything they disagree with.

Those knights in infinity blade are someone's children .

[Immorals]

And people expect Apple to enter the console market..

[Hereiamhereibe2]

Right? if they did there entire library would consist of junk like Clash of Clans and Angry Birds they would literally only be competing with there own mobile market.

Ill bookmark this for future argument for dumb articles that spew such nonsense.

[fllysurfer]

App Store is a "race to the bottom", quantity over quality. I hope this sort of trashy selection never comes to consoles or steam.

[calvincrack]

i'd understand this more if the game was shovelware but for this game to get rejected means that someone at the Apple review department fucked up. The risk of bad press is HIGH on this one.

[fllysurfer]

Problem is even if this get some media coverage, it will probably only be in the non-casual gamer news. In other words, this will never be relevant to the "mobile gamer"... the news will die silently.

[Dyldog69]

None of the trash produced by Apple threatens children's futures?quit being such a hypocrite apple

[Atomicjuicer]

I actually agree with Apple on this one.

I'm against censorship but my tastes are frequently censored to hell so for my twopence ill happily say that I don't like games where children appear to be victims of violence.

That goes for Bioshock too. Really wanted to play enjoy that series but the little sister violence stuff was BS.

If I'm down voted whatever. Physical violence towards kids is BS.
