Many a –based game will not use a swastika to symbolise, instead using the Iron Cross (still a symbol of today's German Army, Bundeswehr, albeit a modified version), the red-white-black tricolor of the 1871–1918 (which was briefly re-used by the Nazi regime alongside the swastika flag from 1933 to 1935), or alternatively the Balkenkreuz (pictured at right). There's a simple reason for this — in Germany, Russia, and some other countries, the display of anything Nazi-related in public is prohibited unless it's for educational, artistic, or scientific purposes, plus a lot of other contexts.

This allows for the use of these symbols in –set films (which are considered art — yes, even ). However, toys and games were not usually covered by these exceptions until August 2018, when the German video game rating bureau USK decided to allow swastikas in video games on a case-by-case basis provided they were 'socially adequate', meaning they have to serve an artistic purpose (such as in ) or be used to represent historical events. The USK also refused to rate video games which use swastikas in their non-historical context, meaning that a swastika had to be an explicit reference to the National Socialist German Workers party and any other references that is attributed to the swastika (such as a Buddhist symbol for good luck, a fictional villain or ) were not allowed. Consequently, Nazi symbols are still not used in games released in Germany, probably due to developers worldwide being so accustomed to being unable to put them in the games, and thus voluntarily continuing the tradition of an utter lack of Nazi symbols themselves. It saves money to have only one version, avoids losing a market with over 80 million residents, and if the game is online, it makes sure that the German version is compatible with that of the rest of the world.

It is odd that video games do this, as, especially compared to the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom. Only markets that prefer niche Japanese games at all times (like Japan and France) and places where the video game market is small, the genre performs worse than there. Splm 12 keygen serial. That being said, really mainstream FPS titles (like ) do fare well and still sell in the millions. The German video game market is also only the biggest market for simulator titles and city building games. These are all genres where a swastika has no real reason to appear or exist besides for.
