I don't disagree with your overall point but I don't remember a lot of WW2 games featuring a swastika (well, besides wolfenstein 3D), they often replace them with other symbols. I'm in europe though, maybe it's different in the US.
That being said it's probably not comparable. If some US states still had confederate flags on some of their public buildings in 2015 it's probably not nearly as offensive as a swastika.
- sehugg 11y agoI can't help but notice that Wolf3D is still available on the App Store, swastika intact. Perhaps these small developers are easier targets than Zenimax when deciding which apps to sacrifice for the sake of grandstanding.
- kuschku 11y agoAh, so you’re German, too? xD Most WWII games still use the real symbols in other places, and, while under German law Art is exempt from the Swastika ban (you have to endorse the swastika and glorify it to be illegal), no publisher actually tried to get their game classified as art yet, so they just remove it, as it's easier and less risky.
