I remember they wouldn't allow games to have too much blood a few years back, but Doom 2016 and GTA V were uncut when they released, so did they stop censoring games?

What's the point of censoring video games? Do they censor movies and such as well?

They don't care about gore and violence these days, but anything with nazi symbolism still gets censored pretty heavily, to the point where it's not even worth playing them.

If memory serves, Halflife is finally "out" uncensored in Germany since a few weeks.

It's true, they censor anything pertaining to Nazis (fun fact, holocaust denial is a crime in Germany) and they also turn everyone into robots in games with even the slightest gore.
Hell, I know there was a game that started off with a new intro stating that it's an alternate universe where everyone is a robot, purely so they could get past censors.

are you sure about movies? the issue is that comics and games aren't legally considered art but i'm pretty sure movies are.

of course if that's the case it hasn't stopped them from banning some movies ayy lmao


as for the topic question, i've heard that the censoring was toned down, but i don't really know that for a fact.
