It's a shame how Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories will probably never be rereleased. Not only because of the Phill Collins license but also because the game predominantly features the confederate flag. Since 2015 (I think) you are no longer allowed to showcase the confederate flag in video games unless is done in a historical context. Reminds of how Germany censored Nazi symbolism in video games. The difference here is that the German rating system eventually stopped censoring such things.

EDIT: technically that rule/restriction is applied to the Apple Store and not all video games but my point still stands. Since that 2015 shooting, media in general has been censoring/removing the confederate flag.

EDIT 2: for those who are counfused. Vice City =/= Vice City Stories. Vice City Stories is the prequel to the more famous game Vice City, taking place two years prior.
