Read the article and discuss as to whether or not you feel that Apple should have banned this highly controversial game.

Apple has banned the game "Phone Story" because its overly inappropriate to younger viewers. What apple says the reason to be is because of the child labor, racial discrimination, and Pakistans. Or maybe just didn't want to public to view apple having others slave for there product. If games on Xbox, Online, or even movies are aloud to be shown and played by people, why cant apple??

I think that the game is okay because there are many games that are like that aren't for apps and if people don't like it then don't buy it. But its going to come out is so video game form and I think people should know the truth

The game Phone Story was a true representation of how Iphones are made. It was not that bad content wise because everybody makes games that are true about one thing or another. Apple thinks that this will come back and bite them in the butt. But i think that if this game was out any longer then Apple would be questioned more weather or not it actually used child labor or not. But other people make games and movies with child labor in it and its completely fine. So i dont think that its a huge deal to have this game.

I think that apple should let the world have this game. It tells the truth about how things are made. It is a game so people could have fun but learn about how prodects are made. Why should we sencer game when there is video games and book that are just as bad?

This app game called “Phone Story” is not appropriate game for people to be playing. However this is a subject that would have made a really good newspaper article. Apple had the right the band the game from being sold. However it funny how something that makes them look bad is not allowed to be sold. I wonder if the game were about another piece of technology would not have band it?
