We’re surprised it didn’t happen sooner, but Activision have announced that they have had to pull Wolfenstien from sale in Germany after a swastika was found in the game.
Attention all Germans: don't look
As you may know, the swastika and other Nazi related symbols are illegal in Germany and punishable by law with the exception of educational reasons, but this isn’t the first time that a game has been banned due to Nazi imagery. The original Wolfenstien 3D was also banned in 1994 for this very reason.
Activision responded to the news, saying:
"Although it is not a conspicuous element in the normal game... we have decided to take this game immediately from the German market."
Looks like Activision are playing it safe with this one.
