It’s been censored so it can’t be used to advertise Nazi ideology. It’s been allowed for usage in artistic contexts so I assume they just redefined that video games indeed can be considered art, which is a great development. |
Yes, this was it exactly. To be precise, there was never be a real ban, but USK and other bodies didn't do an evaluation and someone doing this faced the possibility of a court case. Which likely would've ruled this as freedom of art, but no publisher was eager tio try it out as first. Especially considering the news probably following that: XY Publisher tries to rule nazi cross as art...
It might be possible that still someone tries to get it into court now, but with a regulatory body like USK behind it that made a check, the judges probably will consider their tests.
