Surely this is some kind of joke? How can this 'law' be anything constitutional???

We are talking about Germany here.  Germany isn't exactly know for freedom of speech.  In fact, it may have the worst freedom of speech laws of any Western developed nation.

I know, but a complete ban seems irrational, to what degree is a game considered 'violent'? From the wording you could put up a case for banning game like Rachet & Clank! This cannot be on face value, there has to be something I'm missing.
