How we’re supposed to make an historically-accurate game about WW2 horrors without Nazis? We don’t know.
Attentat 1942 developer Charles Games says that Google has blocked the release of its historical game on the Google Play Store in Germany, Russia, Austria, and France over Attentat 1942’s in-game use of Nazis.
“How we’re supposed to make an historically-accurate game about WW2 horrors without Nazis? We don’t know,” tweeted Charles Games at the start of a longer thread on the issue.
Those tweets from the dev (via PocketGamer) say Google rejected both the game and Charles Games’ subsequent appeal despite the fact that Attentat 1942 uses Nazis in an accurate historical context, was developed alongside historians from Czech Academy of Sciences and had already received approval for a German release by government regulators in 2018.
