Lazy devs
I am really tired of devs be lazy as far as using Swastika in games go.

Sure, I understand it is against the law in some countries to display such symbols in game, but the USA we have no such ridiculous laws on freedom of speech and censorship.

And since other WW2 games have historically accurate symbolism for regions that do not have such laws and censored versions for those regions that do have laws, the ONLY explanation of a single censored version of this game is dev laziness.

I wish I could get a refund on this game, since I feel very stronger about censorship.

I guess You do not realize that it means making at least two extra builds of game and much more extra cost? It's not about lazyness but budget.

The game is good as it is. I didn't even notice what you are talking about. Try enjoying the game instead of picking it apart for little unimportant things. it's just a story. it is not meant to be historically accurate, plus the fact remains why on earth anyone would want a symbol such as this depicted in a fantasy game.

I mentioned this in another game forum. I play a WW2 air combat game through Yuplay and wanted to get the swastika symbol for my aircraft. They offered it through a free DLC after they checked your IP address to make sure you are not from a country that bans it.

Amen brother or sister! I've been bothered by that for years and even didn't play the Sniper series because of that non-sense. It's a shame so many go along with this crap, I'm from the future and it's way worse now because nobody says anything!

Has anyone considered creating a mod to replace crosses with swastikas? I'm thinking about doing something like this and correcting some of the shortcomings, if only I knew someone who could create mods for this game.

You call this lazy censorship? That's hilarious. You are aware that the whole setting is fantasy, right? There never were German N.-Socialists roaming around Pyramids, and no magical mummies either... :) Talking about censorship when it comes to fiction seems to be nonsensical to me.

Yeah sure. If you made a game on ww2 with swastikas you would purposelly sell much less refusing to localize for countries with stupid laws. So would your team back you up, and your publishers, investors etc. Riiiight...

Oh right, you dont own a game company. Of course youre out of touch with what it takes to run this kind of business.

Balastro just got banned on some countries because politicians see cards(default ones, like in gambling games) in a game (wich they think are for children) but in some all it takes is relaunch with a new age rating. Try to guess what the dev will do? As any other dev would.

There you go, all devs in the whole industry would do the same. So theyre all lazy. There aint a single non-lazy dev out there. Maybe you could be the first. Do that, in some years answer this topic with a link to your bold non-lazy steam game

Even valve the epitome of exagerated polish 'take as long as needed' had to release Team Fortress 2 in some countries with the characters exploding as cogs, bolts and springs instead of body pieces. Yeah, the holy grail of pc gaming devs from half life are that 'lazy'. Trully this industry have no shame. Refund everything, play boardgames instead

Not really, call of duty just make an extra file that is called "localized", its just like a skin mod pak that contains the uncensored textures. I have made many skins in the past that uncensored WW2 era games including for this one. However since they last updated this game I can no longer use the texture mod I made and I cant be bothered updating it.
