This is a serious topic and since english isn't my native language I prefer to say nothing more about it.

Fair enough, but if the point is that the swastika is "bad" then it isn't a very good point. I understand full-well what the 3rd Reich's twisting of the swastika represents but I choose to try and view history objectively. I also understand that undesirable elements in Europe and elsewhere still respect the idealogy represented by the Nazi swastika and that banning it is considered a thorn in their side, but I'm a fan of free speech.

Ah, interesting. Thanks for the information!

Someone else can probably provide more detail than me but apparently Russia has outlawed the depiction of the swastika and I can appreciate that it could be a legal issue for MG if they even make it an option. It's an absurd situation, but it is what it is. I just didn't want to see the skins locked down in a way as to prevent a 3rd party from adding markings for those that can legally view them.

This pretty much sums it up!

The choice is not really ours. It belongs to Mr Maddox himself. If he choses not to then there is nothing that anyone would be able to do about it. Voice your opinion and move on to the next topic. I would not want Oleg to interfere with my potentiall earnings or make me lose my income.

It's not really a choice is it though, Oleg is in the business to sell his sim, being unable to sell it at all in those countries that have laws against it will only result in a far bigger loss than the few who'll decide to not buy it because they aren't included. The only real choice he has is whether he leaves a way of the end user adding them post purchase or not and that will depend on how liable he is for the addition even if he is not responsible for it.

Its Olegs business yes.
Did he have a huge loss in sales due to non swastica markings in Germany? Did my money get sent to a business that said they were based in Germany but they were not? Ie. Wings over Waves, Wings over Jungles, The Fires above. Luftkrieg the air war in Europe Operation Overlord .......... They lost money in European sales?
What is more real than I will not allow it to happen due to my leadership[ of my own company? I as the head of my company am liable for my actions . Look at the Nurenburg trials as an example.
