Google rejects ‘Attentat 1942’ from German store

Despite the developer's effort, Google refused to publish the game ‘Attentat 1942’ on their Play Store in Germany, France, Austria and Russia.

Brilliant article by Game Developer about the release of the video game Attentat 1942. Despite the developer’s effort, Google refused to publish the game on their Play Store in Germany, France, Austria and Russia. I wholeheartedly agree with the company:

We firmly believe that video games are art and can be an important part of public conversations. When we ban everything with any controversial keywords no matter the content, everybody loses. […] How we’re supposed to make an historically-accurate game about WW2 horrors without Nazis? We don’t know.
