Germany lobbying EU to ban overly violent video games

[Link]

Germany, ever mindful of its troubled history, keeps as close an eye on its past as it does its present and future. And that may spell trouble for certain video games.

Politicians are pushing new legislation that would ban games deemed violent or that incite hatred. Not only that, this decidedly pacifist nation is lobbying the European Union to impose continent-wide censorship of especially inflammatory games.

I doubt this is destined to go anywhere, but the German government fankly deserves to have its arse kicked for this.

"WE DON'T WANT VIOLENT GAMES!......
.......
HEIL HITLER!"

Eh, it's a bandwagon to try to ban violent videogames anymore, I swear.

[Seppo]

This is damn old. Like at least several days.

The worst thing about this joke is that it's actually going somewhere. if they manage to get through with this shit, all it will cause is a massive wave of piracy. And I will be the first one to ride that wave. Stupid medieval fascist law like this won't stop me from getting my violent games and having some fun. Damn ****tards, jesus.


Online petition anyone?

Time to leave the EU. This time it's personal (we should have left before anyway)

SEE? SEE!? WHAT I TELL YOU? EU IS TEH EVIL! ONLY EVIL SHALL COME OUT OF THE EU!

Arr!

[StardogChampion]

Germany, we forgive you for that little war thing. Now leave our games the **** alone. Bastards.

I can see a geek war in the future vs Germany. All the geeks in Europe unite to form an army and march to Berlin.

[Cormeh]

Wouldn't Germany prefer to ban.... y'know, WWII games? D:

[Samon]

Here's the ****er who originally started this shit, Franco damn Frattini (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco_Frattini)

Apparently it was his idea to make some kind of control on violent video games. Then the smelly EU mother****ers decided to make a law to ban violent games. And by the way, also UK, Spain, France, Greece and Finland supported this shit. Idiots

Little guys with big guns trying to matter

[Atomic_Piggy]

This is ****ing bullshit. They actaully think they can get through with this? Even if tehy manage to make such a shit law, there will just bne piracy an the EU will lose out (in a small way) on some cash. These guys are dickweeds.

[Anthraxxx]

Am i smelling massive DOS attacks on the german government from Geeks- United around the World against unfair video game laws?

[Samon]

If this happens, I will personally throw shit at the German embassy.

And at Franco Frattini. The twat.

[mortiz]

God damn Nazi's are back in power!

[Solaris]

Get me short recoil, gh0st and special max, we'll show these bastards what violence really looks like.

[Walter]

They'd rather think about who they're selling violent games to like in USA, instead of banning them in general.

[Jintor]

What? Bullshit! GERMAN GOVERNMENT IS OUT!

Video games are PERSONAL responsibility, not government responsibility! Focus on fixing unemployment and whatnot! Leave us alone!
