Crytek concerned about German 'killerspiel' banning law
Crytek's CEO is expressing serious concern over the German bill currently making its way around the Bundestag that would ban games "where the main part is to realistically play the killing of people or other cruel or un-human acts of violence against humans or manlike characters." So, you know, most of the fun stuff.
CEO Cevat Yerli expressed in a statement that a ban on action games was "like banning the German artists that create them." He continued, "If the German creative community can't effectively participate in one of the most important cultural mediums of our future, will we be forced to relocate to other countries?"
Considering Crytek is probably the most well-known German developer, it wouldn't exactly be in the country's best interest if the firm left.
