Removal of Nazi symbolism in Swiss version?

[xtfoster]

You probably will get the standard version, but retailers that sell physical copies may just buy German language ones to sell, without realizing they're different... also, I think Germany is one of the only places that will actually have physical copies of the game, as said in the last www I believe.

And even the 'physical' version will most !likely just be a box and Steam CD key with maybe a quick start guide / user manual.

Switzerland and Austria get the international uncensored version.

Well i dont know then, I was going off what i read from other people on the forum

Often a bad idea, especially about controversial subjects.

All versions of the game include all seven languages.

Versions sold in USK territory will be censored ( and that includes through steam etc )

I would be very happy if it was real these people couldn't live without Hitler. Sadly they can and then ask us for more of him in these proliferating threads.

I would be ready to pay more to have some nazis darkened or removed of my game.

The information that the "steam version" would be censored was out there for weeks

Careful what you wish for

I count two (2) threads where @Johan posted the information that in USK territories, HoI4 would be censored. Both threads were locked because of off-topic derailment into racism. There seems to be a direct correlation.

HOI III was uncut on steam, because german laws didn't cover digital products. They have since been updated to cover that loophole and Paradox are bound to uphold them or risk having the game outright banned in Germany.

By the way, games can't show nazi simbols, because in Germany, games are considered as toys and not art, so aren't included in the exception to censorship.

If you are mad, you should direct that anger towards german politicians, who can change the laws, and not Paradox, who is powerless to do anything about it.

Paradox them selves should have made such statement openly so there would not be continuous discussion about it.
