Will Paradox be releasing an update for all PDS games that feature any confederate flags to remove such flags given the recent events in the United States?

I can see it now, in Victoria 2 the CSA won't have the CSA flag.
This is never going to happen.

Paradox - Please don't even consider this. I'm tired of all the leftist politics making its way into my video games. What Apple did today was outrageous and I am switching to Android (not that much better a choice, but they have less controls and wouldn't be able to do the same) as a result - please don't make me have to stop playing Paradox games too!

No I was just pointing it out to the poster above me, if Paradox doesn't have the flag of the Third Reich due to German laws they might remove the Stars and bars.

It's not leftist. It's just a knee-jerk/lazy reaction. Apple (and many other companies) don't really care about the issue, so they just do a blanket ban, get the positive publicity and leave. Five minutes of thinking would exclude half of the apps due to historical reasons (would be the case for Victoria 2), but that's just not how it works in a big company like that.

Actually it was neither of these things. Apple pulled those apps because racists were promoting them as some kind of fightback against the removal of that flag from the SC legislature. I would presume they will allow them back in a measured way when things calm down.
The answer to the OP is a solid "no", of course. Any wider discussion of this issue should take place in OT.

The Confederate battle flag, although a symbol of racism and hate, ought to be preserved for historical purposes and as respect for those who died for the Confederate cause.

Not just that but it also represented a way of life for some people who lived in the Old South, a flag of Southern pride and culture. You have to respect that. The flag has a different meanings to everyone. But true enough, it belongs in history books now.

Although I obviously view the flag as something different, I do have respect for their views of the flag. However, my respect goes to those who view it as a symbol of the South, and not it's racist past.

As I said above, general discussion of this issue must happen in the OT or history forums, not here. Since the Paradox-relevant part of the question has been answered, closing thread.
