Wolfenstein Being Recalled In Germany

D1gital_Prob3 tips news that Activision's recently-released shooter, Wolfenstein, is being recalled in Germany due to the appearance of swastikas in the game. Such symbols are banned in Germany, and the German version of the game went through heavy editing to remove them. Apparently, they missed some. Activision said, "Although it is not a conspicuous element in the normal game ... we have decided to take this game immediately from the German market." Reader eldavojohn points out a review that has screenshot comparisons between the two versions of the game.

Well, ok....

As long as the game doesn't include a map to Poland, we should be ok.

Basil Fawlty: Is something wrong ?
4th German: Will you please stop talking about the war ?
Basil Fawlty: Me ? You started it !
4th German: We did not start it.
Basil Fawlty: Yes you did, you invaded Poland.

You forgot to capitalize "Damen" and "Herren". Yeah I know I'm being nitpicky. ;-)

I think you mean that you're being a "Grammar [REDACTED IN GERMANY]"

Why do you assume the neighbors would be intimidated instead of outraged? They should be allowed. That way the neighbors can remind them what happens to nazis in the end.

You mean by giving them a free trip to South America?
