Apple announced Thursday that games like Ultimate General: Gettysburg and Hunted Cow Civil War games will no longer be available in the App Store.

"We have removed apps from the App Store that use the Confederate flag in offensive or mean-spirited ways, which is in violation of our guidelines," an Apple spokesperson told BuzzFeed News. "We are not removing apps that display the Confederate flag for educational or historical uses."

A source close to the company also informed BuzzFeed News that Apple is "working actively" with game developers affected by the decision to reinstate their apps. In order to do that, they'll need to replace the Confederate flag.
