BlatMan Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Germany lifted the ban on Nazi symbols in video games. Since it's no longer illegal, I don't see why it would be against the ToS.https://www.golem.de/news/kunstfreiheit-hakenkreuze-und-aehnliche-symbole-kuenftig-in-computerspielen-1808-135919.htmlhttps://www.dailysabah.com/technology/2018/08/09/germany-lifts-ban-on-use-of-swastikas-nazi-symbols-in-video-games 1
AgentWatson Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 I don't think so, LO still has their own TOS and I think that'll still strictly be against the TOS.
GhosT Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 It'll still be abused, rather than being used creatively. It's just going to be more silvers wrapping their ceresco in it, and wearing a basic black suit with a swastika arm band. 1
SandyBitch Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 just because they lifted the ban, doesnt mean its a good thing to use them, if you ever join germany at some point, running around with an SS outfit including those symbols, good luck surviving the day 2

But instead let's forever shame the germany for going against the chosen people. 2 1

Queen of Love Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 there is nothing wrong in a flag/symbol, the problem is the use of it. i dont see why the USSR symbols are perfectly allowed every where (60M of official deads) or the NY gangs color outfit ( 100/200 killed for year) I guess nobody that use USSR or NY gangs color is (or will) a soviet kgb inquisitor or a gangsta armed killer. if people wears historic uniforms or themed outfit doesnt means that this will spread hate ,intollerance or conflicts. the true reason of hate and racism is out of videogames or symbols. we dont allow nudes but is ok fight with fireweapon and kill. the duality of humans is amazing. 2

Times they are a changeing As much as people making nude characters makes me cringe, I also feel nudity shouldn't be a societal taboo in most western cultures. Edited August 9, 2018 by Triksterism Poor wording initially. 1

Speedz Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Reading the news on several sites, the game still has to get checked by the USK. I don't have high hopes for this to be allowed in APB and I don't really want to see it to be honest.

I understand if something is not allowed due to laws, but flat out blocking something because someone might get offended needs to go. Did anyone ever read the lore in game. That hits harder than any silver with a crappy swastika on their armband. OK, that's a bad analogy since silvers can't aim.

The lore refers to sexual abuse with some contacts, which I'm sure a lot more players have in common than a backwards swastika that was used 60+ years ago. Guns have been used to kill throughout history, yet here we are playing a game, with guns...

Fortune Runner Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 We literally had a World War over this and countless riots are happening all over the news when a Nazi group comes out with their racism. NO THANK YOU.

NO THANK YOU. the word Nazi has been loosing its meaning especially over recent years when you can get called one for simply disagreeing, people that make swastikas in video games usually only do it for memes and find it funny, you tell me how youre going to take a character cosplaying as goku with a swastika armband seriously instead of laughing at it.
