Apple apologizes over Baby Shaker app
|
Apple's App Store, often lambasted for being slow and excessively conservative in its approval process, is now apologizing for having approved a game where players kill babies by shaking them to death.
The Baby Shaker app was pulled two days after it was approved this
Monday following a barrage of complaints forced Apple to both take the
app down and issue an apology, which was obtained by CNet News.com.
"This application was deeply offensive and should not have been approved for distribution on the App Store," the company said. " When we learned of this mistake, the app was removed immediately. We sincerely apologize for this mistake and thank our customers for bringing this to our attention."
Sikalosoft, the developer of the Baby Shaker game, was apparently also deluged with complaints, as it has stripped all mention of the title from its own website as well.
