El Ballo deemed not appropriate to be listed on Apple’s game site

December 12th, 2005

After a request to Apple to list “The Adventures of El Ballo” on their apple.com/games website, we received this reply…

Hi Casey,
Thanks for your interest in our Games site. We found that the subject matter of El Ballo (though mild) might not be appropriate for our audience.

I guess Apple prefers games where the user kills human beings, because it seems that “World War II Online: Battleground Europe” and “Close Combat: First to Fight” are listed on their site. Or maybe Apple’s taste is a game like “Stubbs the Zombie” which includes (Blood and Gore, Crude Humor, Intense Violence, Sexual Themes, and Strong Language.) All I have to say is… Thanks Apple for supporting “Mac only” games. Ouch… was that me being snippy ;-P
