That's because there actually was a case of a woman putting her poodle into a microwave to dry it up and she ended up suing the company for not warning what would happen in the manual. She actually won the court case.

I don’t know. As a European I can tell you that it’s not uncommon to be a bit sensitive when it comes to this topic. You know, on account of large parts of our continent being destroyed because of some assholes thinking they’re above everyone else.
This is irony right? Please tell me it’s irony.

I rather like the warnings from Disney while they film movies in Xinjiang, very close to the concentration camps of Muslim ethnic minorities. That's peak diversity.

I'd like to think the same, but my jaw has ended up on the floor twice now with people very close to me turning Nazi curious.

Give it time. Much like how folks talk about the bureaucracy and unification brought by ghengis Kahn and forget the MILLIONS ground under his boot, I think the "well, they did some good things" crowd will emerge eventually.

So wait, does this mean Raiders and Last Crusade were for them?!!?!
My childhood. It's ruined. The dark truth finally comes out.
Edit: In hindsight, I should have known that Lucas was a Fash ever since I saw Phantom Menace. The pieces were all there. Pod Racing was thinly veiled propaganda for the German war machine.

Who would have thought that the people (aka writers and part of their public) that call anything and anyone a fascist/Nazi would have a problem to describe that Nazis=bad...
To a point that you need a f* sticker saying that they are not "condoning, glorifying, or endorsing" one of, if not the most ville regime on Earth.
Like someone said, the only explanation is if they included some grey area character, at some point you cooperate with them or maybe Jones disguise himself, as already happened in the movies.

God damnit! I thought for sure this game was going to be pro Nazi just like Raiders! Thank God they told me this or else I would have thought the Nazi's were the main characters!

Do you guys get as upset with the terms and conditions and the pointless epilepsy warnings?
It's just corporate covering their ass. Would you rather they just didn't make games with nazis in them?
I know we are all very grown up and mature here, but let's not forget videogames are still mostly for children. Chill out.

Sounds about right
Is this some "politically correct" thing or it's because Gen Z has 0 knowledge about Indiana Jones and the movies (going by the latest movie flop)?Guess you have to have a disclaimer for even the most obvious shit these days.

I’m pretty sure Hitler and the Nazi party are talked about more now than any other time since WW2. At this rate their long dead corpses will reanimate and will be goose stepping within in a few years.

You brought it up. So say your stupid comment.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Alright folks .. I'm kinda baffled at the takes in this thread lol. That seems like a fairly boiler plate warning like most games get at the start.
Just because a RE game is expected to have violence, doesn't stop it from getting the customary violence and gore warnings either, for example.

There’s a whole generation of people who aren’t that informed. You can see it in recent elections in Germany and the Netherlands.

I'm curious as well. I've a couple of theories.
A. This is what the DEI 'consultant' is recommending. With Identity Politics its very hard, if not impossible, to seperate the "Art from the artist". And symbols matter, without context. So the mere PRESENCE of nazi imagery, regardless of how they are used, could taint the dev team or trigger a player, thus the need for the warning as cover.
B. As an international market, this is required for Germany or other more sensitive markets as a legal way to avoid having to censor the actual game for each market.
C. least likely, but maybe the game IS sympathetic to at least some Nazis, or at least its possible to exploit the game in some way to be appealing to current day neo-nazis and the PR folks are nervous and trying to get ahead of any "toxic alt-right cishet white male" fanbase.
