Its just an idea but worth a try in my opinion.

I can just see the headlines in the gaming news... "1C hires lawyers to include/display swastika in new game". That seems like a reasonable way to spend the cash & generate publicity...lol

Just what we need - having the game's release held up in a 5-year court hearing.

It's going to be like old Pro evolution soccer versions where Roberto Carlos was called Roberto Larcos... ^^

Svastika branches will be reversed, Adolf Hitler will be called Adilf Hatler and Hermann Goering will be Gernamm Hoering...

Seriously, that's a sad piece of news but you're right to play the safety !
