It is known that in every situation in which a violent rampage (Amoklauf) has occurred, the perpetrator has had a remarked addiction to so-called killergames. The manner of the deed is astonishingly similar to virtual examples.
 
For him, the fact that roughly a third of children and youths "regularly and addictively escape into a virtual world" sets off alarm bells. Age restrictions for such games are often ignored.  There is admittedly no proof "that these frequent escapes into virtual killerworlds can contribute to such insane deeds", said Schmitt, "But neither can the role killergames be completely dismissed."
 
When a chance to remove a probable cause exists, it must be used, insisted the chief of the national police union. "The world would be no poorer if there were no more killergames."

God fucking damn it I am so sick of this bullshit. Is there any chance left for German politicians to not look like neo-nazis now?

Correlation does not always equal causation.

Isn't this kind of blatant propoganda the same stuff that caused ww2/the holocaust?

[Heliopios]

Also it's funny because ww2 is the reason shooters became popular and that was all the german's fault!

This is untrue! There are more pirates right now than say a few years ago

Yeah some stores aren't selling 18+ games anymore (Gears of War,GTA4, FEAR 2, UT3 etc). Because it supposedly led to school shootings, the irony being that the shooter was a CS:Source gamer... which is a 16+ game.

silly germans

[DigitalLemonClock]

germany has always been fucked

in the german carmegeddon you ran over dinosaurs instead of people

blood is often green or there is no blood at all

THEY DUB EVERY LITTLE FUCKING THING

they're crazy

[PirateClock]

Also German games have had green blood in games for years, cause apparently shooting someone with green blood is slightly less disturbing than shooting someone with red blood.

Edit: OH SNAP digitallemon beat me to it! Although didn't they replace pedestrians in Carmageddon 2 with Zombies?

Also i remembered that they even edited the Left 4 Dead cover/poster art:

The N64 version of Carmageddon had zombies in all countries, except for germany, in which the zombies were replaced with dinosaurs

Haha apparently all the n64 versions had zombies, only the german and us version had green blood instead of read.

I was under the impression that their over the top censorships where due to a fear of becoming nazi's once again.
