The world does this to the US, but when something catastrophic happens, they're whistling an entirely different tune. Well, until they get the help they need.Baresark said:

I think that censorship laws actually did have something to do with the end of WWII.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
Not exactly, or at least not with me. I think that most Americans are decent, kind people, but often when I look at the U.S. Government (or any other Government in a clearly democratic country for that matter) I think "who voted for those people?"Kevlar Eater said:
Damn too bad America hasn't ban this piece of shit game, Germany knows whats good for the people
No, I meant that there's a huge argument going about the fact that you can't kill children in Skyrim.Amaror said:
And this is closely related to ideas about censorship and what is, or is not appropriate content for a game.
I didn't mean to say that Germany (or any other country) had censored Skyrim. (Though I suspect it's design is influenced by various censorship issues.)
I'm pretty sure you can still import the game.
The only reason to ban the import of a game to Germany is the use of swastikas in that game. (You can't import the english version of COD: Black Ops because there are swastikas in Nazi zombie mode. Even if you get hold of an english version, you can't activate it on Steam if you have a German IP address.)

To be fair, if you were known in large part for the atrocities committed in a world war, you might be quick to distance yourself from it, too.KeyMaster45 said:
Germany has it worse than us. We can still play the majority of games they just get watered down a bit, which does not detract from the core of the gameplay. Outright banning isn't good...KeyMaster45 said:
Trying really hard to not have a humorous swipe at Germany right now
(Aussie humour is not usually understood by other cultures)Fix Germany, Australia will sort itself out in its own time
Well that is so far removed from recent memory, but with WWII it is very likely you know/knew a veteran. Maybe even someone close to you, like a grandfather.Baresark said:
PS. Aren't the natives the backwoods illterate ones in that scenario? I'm not supporting the way the were treated, just seems like an odd insult given the circumstances.
They're seizing all copies? Every single one they find, no matter what?
Oh, well from where I'm standing it doesn't look like a whole lot's changed since 1940. Maybe a few more American steakhouses sprinkled around Hamburg and a bit of a dress code change, but not much!

I'm Currently living in germany working for Bluebyte/Ubisoft for the last 8 months, been in plenty of German Gamestops... saying that on my way to work this morning, i found yes indeed it isnt being sold in gamestops, but was a local Import store i walk by to work in the morning, so i was a bit mistaken on my part.Yopaz said:

1. "Dark city" syndrome. It's "Skyrim"'s 5 minutes of glory and pretty much every other game (with the exception of some most massive titles) are doomed.
2. "Dead Island" weren't that good. I strongly suspect that people won't remember it 5 years since now.
