Swastika App

[jcenzano]

As I said on some other post discussing this SWTK issue...

IMHO to play this game and being alarmed/infuriated by the SW is highly hypocritical.

let´s not show th SW, even when it is historically accurate, but let´s play to kill people and bomb the shit out of cities.

It just does not make sense to me.

by an Ausländer in germany.

Because the Swastika represents a broad ideology that is not limited to just the war, and is still to this day used by racist groups.

It also runs into legal problems in germany, russia and other european nations I believe. Since that other absurd thread was posted yesterday, I would say its probably best to let this issue sit/slide atleast for now. I dont see why you feel that the Wehmarcht Iron cross is not enough.

Ironic that we keep getting seemingly axis sympathetic Austrians posting, they unlike Germany did not undergo a de-Nazification process...

Assuming the developers aren't allowed to touch it, I think you'd be better discussing a solution on a forum that is not linked to the developers.

Glad everyone knows it better.
You know what?

I believe in Germany there are issues as well.

Whatever people think of it, the devs have to deal with the fact that IF they allow swastika's they may well go to jail in Russia. Even if some modder made a mod for it. So be careful what you wish for.

People have there underwear too tight. YOU ban an ancient hindu (I think) symbol of peace and love and all that because one guy put it on a flag and then invaded and raped and pillaged other countrys. If thats the case they should ban crosses and every religious symbol as every religion has done the exact same thing. Can you say the crusades??

what do muslims have to do with buhddist, hindu, jainists, etc, etc? you're aware those religions have nothing to do with each other yes?

Well for all the "smart" ones, ever heard of valve and their anti cheat system?
If it detects that your game has something differant than the standard version you get a ban for life, so give it a thought what you are wishing for. If you are really keen on reducing your game to a useless silver disk go ahead.
I guess that is one of the things the pro Steam boys forgot about?
