Probadly the problem is that PC games aren't considered at art, so the general law against those forbidden signs make them illegal. And this law is in my eyes good, since i don't want the Nazi run through germany with Swastikas and SS runes. i saw one of them 2-3 month ago in the supermarket with Swastika earrings and felt very ashamed.

In books the signs are ok, when the context is ok(they can get banend when they are antisemitic) since it is art, it is also allowed for education and News. But it is generell forbidden on shirts etc., since the justice shouldn't forbid every single Item after release or a small change(and PC games are more lifestyle product for the law).

Does this discussion really belong in the bugs forum? I don't think so. Please, have such discussions elsewhere. I will allow only one more post which better contain a link to a continuation of this discussion and then I'll close the thread.

A question to both of you. Are games like Wolfenstein and Call of Duty banned in Germany?

So basically for a german living in Spain for example, it's ok to play the original versions, or sell nazi symbolics, emblems, tattoos?

he had to follow the the spanish laws, even when i would say that the last 3 thing aren't ok after my moral standards.

Also he isn't allowed to sell the nazi symbolis to germany, since those products ain't allowed in germany.

don't like this kind of games that much, but on movies it would disturb me. On games i have the tendency not to be to close to the story, so i am not sure(there i disliked more things like green blood etc. to make it possible to sell it to younger persons)

Just curious...
Are songs banned too? Or is it just the nazi symbols that aren't allowed?

Like, is this song remix that uses the WWII speech allowed in Germany?

this sond is allowed, after an amazon test. Didn't understand the speech, But if the text is antisemitic you can get banned.
