"It's not as though an NC-17 rating on the App Store really causes any problems for a developer unlike a movie getting an NC-17 rating which is a big deal still."
I wonder about that.
I wrote the Nihongo app, which, like NinjaWords, kept getting rejected until I finally set the rating to 17+.
When it was finally in the AppStore, friends told me that an "are you sure, since this app has Frequent/Intense Sexual Content or Nudity and Frequent/Intense Mature/Suggestive Themes"-type warning came up just before they hit "Buy".
I wonder how many people hesitated or declined to buy the app b/c of that.
Well for one thing, Apple does not let you give out promo codes for 17+ apps, which is a big handicap for promotion of your work.
Similarly, I wrote the Jishobot app and had to change its rating up to 17+. I'm calling bullshit on Phil Schiller's response. Am I allowed to say that?
