The iOS version of id Softwareâs Wolfenstein 3D has been withdrawn from sale in two European countries over its use of the Nazi swastika.
The game has been pulled in both Austria and Switzerland, according to a tweet from id boss John Carmack, âdue to the offensive swastikasâ.
This shouldnât be too big a surprise. Like Germany, Austria has strict laws prohibiting the public display of the Nazi swastika, and while Switzerland has no such law (indeed, recent attempts to bring such a law in were defeated), it wonât be the first body to willingly censor the game: Nintendo did just the thing nearly twenty years ago
