Submission + - Rejection of Reality: Apple denies Endgame:Syria (pockettactics.com)

arclightfire writes: "Endgame:Syria billed itself as the first game to cover on ongoing war in a mashup of interactivity and journalism. However it seems like Apple is not happy with this idea, as PocketTactics reports; "Apple’s app guidelines have once again tripped up the release of a strategy game rooted in a real-world conflict. Auroch Digital’s Endgame Syria has been rejected by Apple’s approvals team for violating guidelines section 15.3, 'solely target[ing] a specific race, culture, a real government or corporation, or any other real entity'. If section 15.3 sounds familiar, it’s because it was the clause invoked when Cupertino said no to Pacific Fleet back in September – the game ran afoul of the guidelines for including Japanese flags in a WWII naval sim.""

Submission + - Game on War in Syria Explores Ongoing Conflict (gameswarp.com)

arclightfire writes: "So while games have come under spotlight via the debate about the causes of the tragic school shootings in the US, it is worth remembering that games are now a broad medium and far from all games are FPS games. Even those about war arre not now just about shooting as the Endgame:Syria shows by covering an ongoing war; 'The subject matter for Endgame: Syria should not however be looked on from a trivialized angle; people and civilian casualties are dying everyday over in Syria. Hopefully with this unique gamification approach, it will make more people aware of what is happening today in the beleaguered country of Syria.'"
