Yes, so is the swastika and iron cross, but will it be allowed in games?

Yes, as long as it won't be used for the only purpose of glorifying nazism. 

So games like Wolfenstein will get a pass. Hopefully.

So Hitler is included in this as well? That's good news. Not a fan of censorship in general. No legit dev is going to make a game glorifying him. I wonder if it will also apply to, let's say, somewhat lighthearted fare? Like the original Wolfy. Where, while he is a villain, he's depicted in somewhat flippant manner. I guess what I'm saying is that I hope the changes are sweeping, as long as they adhere to the core principal values.
