Wolfenstein Pulled From Sales in Germany

[RogueDOC]

Activision is having to pull it's Wolfenstein game from shelves in Germany because it was found to contain a swastika.

Publisher Activision has reportedly pulled Wolfenstein from sale in Germany after the localised version of Raven Software's shooter was found to contain a swastika.

Nazi symbols such as swastikas are banned from appearing in games released in Germany. Previous casualties include Wolfenstein 3D, which was barred from sale in 1994 because it featured Nazi imagery.

Hopefully the Germany gang will be able to get back into the game soon.

Someone needs to make one of those Hitler videos about this.

That would be some irony there.

i'm not sure the premise of the this sequel but the first one was how hitler discovered an ancient evil force. Kinda hard not to have a swastika in there, seeing as IRL they were everywhere in germany.
