So the Battle Flag of the Army of NoVA is now considered literally worse than Hitler.

Apple has just removed all Civil War strategy games from App Store.

Obviously apps with "legitimate" uses of the Confederate flag (like strategy games that don't glorify the Lost Cause) will be restored once this dies down. Apple's making a smart business decision here.

How is this a smart business decision?

Because now they won't get caught up in the controversy for having "Confederate flag apps"

Virtually no one is ever going to notice the Civil War apps were gone from the store, especially once they start reviewing and restoring the apps that aren't neo-Confederate.

People have already noticed.  How do you think I found out about this, consultation with the Delphic Oracle?  If you are into historical strategy games, you will think twice now before buying an Apple device.
