'News title' rejected from App Store for 'solely targeting a specific race, culture and government'

Apple has denied a game based on the civil war in Syria from being released on the App Store.
The free title Endgame: Syria, developed by Auroch Digital, is already available on Android via Google Play, and is described as a ‘news game’ which sees users take on the side of the rebels as they try to overthrow the ruling party.

Apple said it had rejected the game as its own guidelines forbid any titles that “solely target a specific race, culture, a real government or corporation, or any other real entity”.
Game designer Tomas Rawlings expressed his disappointment at the decision, and said it was a shame given that Apple’s guidelines make it difficult to develop titles that explore the impact of how real events can affect people's lives.
“This decision is a shame really as it makes it hard to talk about the real world,” said Rawlings.
