Considering all the games that are out in the app-mosphere that allow you to partake in various nefarious and illegal activity, it seems awfully tame of Apple to pull the plug at weed farming.  Weed Firm one of many weed related apps available in the App store and creation of Manitoba Games, has been removed from the App store for no other reason than because they can.

Weed Firm allows users to virtually manage a marijuana growing business. Developers at Manitoba Games believe it to be a form of censorship:

“This was entirely Apple’s decision, not ours, we guess the problem was that the game was just too good and got to number one in All Categories, since there are certainly a great number of weed based apps still available, as well as games promoting other so-called ‘illegal activities’ such as shooting people, crashing cars and throwing birds at buildings.”

Apple are more temperamental than a pre-menstrual Miss Piggy and their vague, fickle nature to what is and what isn’t acceptable in relation to App guidelines feels way too casual and unsatisfactory.

“We will reject Apps for any content or behaviour that we believe is over the line. What line, you ask? Well, as a Supreme Court Justice once said, “I’ll know it when I see it” and we think that you will also know it when you cross it.”

Considering Weed Firm was already accepted into the App store and that no other weed related apps received this ire from Apple leads us to believe that they simply made the mistake of becoming too popular. Manitoba stated that Weed Firm will return with some alterations to beat the censors.
