Ah, Wolfenstein - the key to this entire hullabaloo. You see, after the horror of WWII, the German state strived to become aggressively pacifist - avoiding violent entertainment at all cost. Fascism is a blight on this country’s history and anything that appears to exploit those dark days is banished.
Marczinczik continues: “The media is more alert when it comes to images of simulated war and military situations.” Thus Wolfenstein 3D was banned, and all offending Nazi imagery was removed from other war-themed games like Call of Duty and Medal of Honor. But why just games and not movies? Does an in-game swastika automatically promote Aryan supremacy?
