Far Cry / Crysis developer threatens to leave Germany

Post by fac51 »

While the German government considers legislation which would criminalize the development, distribution and even play of violent games, a leading developer says it may be forced to relocate if such a law is passed.

As reported by Gamespot, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli (left) told the German-language program Focus TV:

Perhaps (if the law passes) there won?t be a Crytek in Germany. That would mean we?d have to get out of here and go elsewhere.

The proposed German law features penalties which range from increasing the current restrictions on violent game sales to imprisonment for the people who create, distribute or play them.
