If the swastikas are Clockwise-Symbol of Death and hate, Nazi Party
If the swastikas are counter clockwise-Symbol of life and good luck, so look very close to see if the swastikas in WAW are counter clockwise.
But any way you look at it, it looks bad. |
That's not right, there's no law against the swastika in the USA and even if there was an attempt to the 1st Amendment would prohibit the outlawing of Nazi symbols.
The ones in WaW are authentic swastikas, they only get removed in games sold where the swastika is legal when the dev use the swastikaless version for multiple countries. For example Silent Hunter 3 has swastikas in the US but no swastikas in the European version including Australia. However WaW has swastikas in the European/Austrailia version but not in the German version.
The problem you had with '46 being delayed would have been because the game uses the same version globally and it would have been stopped at the factory before being released.
