Not Again...

First English link I could find (courtesy of Paradox forums, thanks). I couldn't find this in Die Welt (after an admittedly brief scan), so I hope it's fake. But somehow, I doubt it.

Really? Please. No. There is only one bright side to this - the hope that eventually they'll push a little too far and get the people really riled up. More personal involvement in politics, a return to basic freedoms, a real democracy.

Then again, this is Germany.

If the Constitutional Court doesn't strike this down, I'm doing something. I'll join a party (I'd even consider making my own if I could ever get the free time), I'll write letters, whatever, I don't care, but this cannot stand. It is something small, yes - but it is the last straw on the camel's back.

Wow... uh that really sucks for gamers

Chances are it won't get passed - as you could see with the paintball thing, we occasionally have ridiculous proposals that amount to nothing, especially at this time of year. The problem is that it doesn't seem like the normal ones, since there are sixteen Ministers of the Interior agreeing to it.

Quite right to. You can't be trusted. :o)

thats pretty aggravating...
but as EMFM said, i doubt it would be passed.

Wow. This isn't more guilt over that WW II thing is it? Get over it people (not anyone here, of course).

All violent video games is a bit vague... does it include things like the TW series, or is it only for more personal violence?

"where the main part is to realistically play the killing of people or other cruel or unhuman acts of violence against humans or manlike characters."

That potentially includes Total War.
