Oh come on... Here are the specific guidelines you are referring to: Apps portraying realistic images of people or animals being killed or maimed, shot, stabbed, tortured or injured will be rejected Apps that depict violence or abuse of children will be rejected "Enemies" within the context of a game cannot solely target a specific race, culture, a real government or corporation, or any other real entity Apps involving realistic depictions of weapons in such a way as to encourage illegal or reckless use of such weapons will be rejected Apps that include games of Russian roulette will be rejected How would those guidelines apply to someone's awesome first person shooter? Maybe the "reckless use of weapons" part. But that's not the spirit of the law --- the spirit was likely to prevent people from e.g. making an app that gives a step-by-step photographic guide to creating a pipe bomb, or something of that sort.
