GERMAN BAN ON ALL VIOLENT GAMES?
Has Germany finally gone over the edge and banned all violent games?

Posted by on Jun 20, 2009 12:57 (265 days ago)

I was just reading some news articles and came across a very interesting article on how german ministers are presenting a ban on all video games containing "Realistic Violence".  Now what this means is that any game that has even a hint of blood or gore will be banned from sale or use in germany. This ban has been presented because there has been two school shootings recently in german and they were blamed on video games. Another problem I see with this ban is that many german deveopers,such as Crytek will be forced to move out of germany in order to continue producing games,that will in turn affect the german economy. Germany has already placed bans on video games before and it is not a suprise that it is growing,but to this extent is in my opinion a bit too much. The germans may make good stuff,but they certainly are not good for the gaming community.
