Knights Templar Call For "Negative Game" Ban in Germany

Another group is vocation for the ban of "negative games" in Germany, but this time they've got a much fancier (and of import) name.

If IT feels like it hasn't even been a year since the German regime said "nein" to the projected violent videogame ban, that's because IT hasn't. However, German gamers aren't out of the woods nonetheless, because now they must contend with the Knights Templar. Nary, earnestly.

According to (a Google translation of) Robot.de, a separate of the Knights Templar – the Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani Grand Priory of Germany of North Rhine-Westphalia, Viersen (phew) – has called upon the government to "ban the construct and distribution of computer games with negative subject." "Negative pleased," in this case, means precisely what you conceive it does – ferocity, nubile themes, and all that comes with IT.

Aforesaid Templar branch with the huge picture name blames "brutalizing computer games" like Resident Evil and GTA for having a perverse impact on young people and impeding their social development.

Alternatively, the Templars wish to hear the government encourage the "yield of figurer games with positive and meaningful educational draw close," and to encourage primary and secondary schools to use these games and the Net to instruct children in the modern get on.

The Knights Templar Bundestag also sees an economic benefit to such a ban, American Samoa it believes that barring terrorist foreign-produced games from the nation would wee IT easier for German and other European developers to create their "positive" videogames.

This, of naturally, is every slightly Weird considering that the Knights Templar were officially and forcibly disbanded by Pope Clement V in 1312. Legends about the Templar have kept their name in popular consciousness for centuries since, only this is the first time I've ever so detected of a modern Templar order.

Soul get Ezio and Altair connected the line, quick.
