Germany’s government has a rather sensitive relationship with video games.

Seeking a détente of sorts, three game-positive members of Germany’s parliament hosted a LAN party in the Reichstag. The games played included Counter Strike, a game linked to the 2009 shooting spree that killed 15 and roiled opposition against games. The pols also played racing games and motion-controlled tennis.
