That way a court could judge that the new law isnt intented to be used in this context.

Its just an idea but worth a try in my opinion.

I can just see the headlines in the gaming news... "1C hires lawyers to include/display swastika in new game". That seems like a reasonable way to spend the cash & generate publicity...lol

Just what we need - having the game's release held up in a 5-year court hearing.

It's going to be like old Pro evolution soccer versions where Roberto Carlos was called Roberto Larcos... ^^

Svastika branches will be reversed, Adolf Hitler will be called Adilf Hatler and Hermann Goering will be Gernamm Hoering...

Seriously, that's a sad piece of news but you're right to play the safety !

LOL. Thanks for the jolt down memory lane. There was a non sanctioned baseball video game released in the states a long time ago. Because they didn't have the Major League Baseball Assoc. contract they couldn't use any real names - much like the game you mentioned.

I played as the Boston Red Sox and laughed at some of the names. The funniest was the third baseman's name. Wade Boggs was changed to "Spayed Froggs."
