That image shows a guy getting shot in the back of the head. That is a disturbing image (at least to me). Maybe you are numb to that level of violence, but apparently Apple is not.
- sayhello 17y agoIn the context of the comic, the guy is a "bad guy" and is holding the gun shooter's daughter hostage, threatening to kill her with a gun himself, and is about to shoot. Its a case of self-defense in a hostage situation. While I do not deny that there is a certain level of violence depicted, is it grounds for rejection? Specially since games like Wolfenstein 3D are on the app store.
- jnorthrop 17y agoI'm not trying to defend Apple and you do have a valid point about Wolfenstein (I'm not arguing that). You asked "what you were missing." I found the imagine somewhat disturbing, so I pointed that out. And the fact that it's the bad guy getting shot does not change my opinion on the image.
- sayhello 17y agopoint taken. thanks for your comment.
- keven 17y agoThe main issue is Apple's consistency with the App approval process. This is the screenshot taken from Wolfenstein 3D on App Store, showing multiple shootings, body on floor and blood. http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/82/wolfenstein3d.png http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/82/wolfenstein3d.png
