Why am I not allowed to kill Hitler?

[Scorcher24]

Okay, I am german. I can understand why you take out XRays. The USK is very restrictive when it comes to hiteffects on human models.

BUT, why can't I shoot Hitler?
Did the USK make you cut this or did you take it out by yourself?
I am really curious about that. Because if USK told you, then that is a reason to get on the ground of that.

Political red tape. You guys have very different censorship values in Germany than we do in the US, violence is A-OK here, but I remember flipping the tv on in my hotel in Berlin and seeing bondage porn on cable, which would make the US go nuts.

I don't think so. Why should I not be allowed to kill the biggest ♥♥♥♥♥♥ of all times?
What implications could that cause? The only ones beeing upset will be some facists..

Yes. Us heathen European countries, with our backwards thinking ways. What ARE we thinking about having different values from America?

I hope that was sarcasm, otherwise you got way too defensive there for no reason.

relax Spearuslonginus, he was just saying the 2 countries are very different - e.g in germany you are strict about violence but nudity laws seem pretty lax, whilst in america violence is alright, but nudity is very restricted.

its just the law of the land, game developers can't really do much about it

The depiction of Hitler in computer games is a no-no, as well as ♥♥♥♥ symbolism and extreme violence. There are different levels of censorship in Germany depending on the medium, so films are not as stringently censored as games, for example.
