Not sure if Speedtree is a Russian company but I am sure 1C or Oleg could not be held liable if the source code used to make the trees could be converted into making giant swastika trees

One could even suggest an export version not for sale in countries with swastika issues that would allow it...

Modders will make it happen no matter how much 1C, the Russian parliament or German Government fight against it.

For me it is not a game breaker either way

GREAT IDEA! Try and skirt Russian law by trying to invent a loophole that may or may not result in jail time and Maddox Games/1C Publishers being raided and having their property seized!

We all know how reasonable and lienent the police are in Russia, and I'm sure they will have no problem with Oleg and co. making a game in Russia that will depict hate symbols outside of the country.

Oleg has already said no, why not give it up so that we don't have to read this every three posts?
