German website ComputerBase (http://www.computerbase.de/news/software/spiele/simulation/2010/maerz/ubisoft_silent_hunter_5_ce/) has word that Ubisoft has recalled the Collector's Edition of Silent Hunter 5: Battle of the Atlantic in Germany. It turns out the Collector's Edition does not have World War II symbols properly removed or edited in accordance with German law. Apparently this problem does not impact the standard edition, which is still for sale in Germany. Thanks Oliver.

Didn't they do that for SH3, too?

Awwww, you had me going for a minute there. I was hoping for something better then "Oops we left zee swavstika's in".

Aye.. :-?

[Navarre]

Yes, the CE edition was recalled from the market yesterday because of the not removed swastikas in the printed material supplement. Ubisoft would therefore punishable in Germany and other European countries, distribution of swastikas. It is only permitted in these countries to distribute swastikas in historical documents, movies, films and art works, computer games are not declared as art works in these countries.

But this now also make it possible for dissatisfied customers in Germany to give their CE Edition back to the store, the store must accept this and refund the paid money to the customer.:smug:

Will those darn pirates stop at nothing? :arrgh!:


:D

:har:

Exactly right, bloody pirates/haxxors have obviously hacked into the metal tins (thinking they were servers) and reapplied the swastikas in what can only be considered the latest form of DOS attack - denial-of-selling. :nope:

It's like, if I bought a car...

[Dowly]

LMAO! :har:

[BlueJ]

:yeah:Nice, now that the h4x00r5 have broken into a steel box, now we will need even more STRONGER protection....:down:

[Quinsen]

Only in Germany... in the rest of the world people are able to recognize, that games - which contain swastika - are NOT the rebirth of Hitler.

Dmmit! Wanted something more interesting than this. Phork ths hxxrs!
