Although of course its important to remember no law has passed just yet, it would be a pretty insane scenario to have one medium being controlled by politics/law. Some of the lowest and most regrettable eras of the modern world featured pretty heavy political constraining of creative forms.

Shame, germans are a decent bunch of folk going by the many i've met online over the years, just a shame their government is crazy conservative.

I'm amazed they stuck it out after that. They once got raided by armed police in a “killer-spiele” investigation before they moved to Frankfurt. I’m amazed they stuck it out after that.
