    Their interpretation did. Games now classify as art and fall under the art-related exception from censorship.

      And they still cannot glorify nazi symbolism. That’ll still get you banned.

        Yeah. What this lawsuit in effect did is say “Games can fall under art and education. Publishers shouldn’t think just including a swastika in a game is illegal, because it isn’t. Just as a movie can include it, a game can as well.”

        Of course, it still needs to not glorify nacism deliberately or inadvertantly. But it’s sad that it took this long for this non-question “legal question” to have been finally asked in court, and answered with the most expected answer - and dare I say it - one more expected of past decades than this one.
