Apple rejects games with realistic weapon models for Vision Pro
The developers reported that Apple is rejecting the release of games with realistic weapon models on the Vision Pro. One developer named AkDebuging shared his complaint about the restriction, with Apple justifying its position with concerns that the games promote illegal behavior due to realistic depictions of weapons.

Reddit users expressed extreme shock and outrage over Apple’s actions, noting that Apple’s headset cost a fortune and criticizing the lack of warning about the prohibition of games featuring realistic weapons on the device.
One gamer says:
Because of their stubbornness, they will kill gaming and they will have nothing to move the platform and ecosystem.
However, some time later, Apple took another look at the game and reportedly cleared it without any changes.
This isn’t the first time Apple has tried to reject overly realistic games. In March, developer rodrigotakase faced a ban from Apple similar to others.
In order to comply with company regulations, he replaced realistic weapon models with toy versions within the game to ensure its approval for Apple Vision Pro. Following this adjustment, the application gained access to the App Store without requiring any further modifications by the developer.
