Another ban hammer has fallen on Germany. Now it looks like the country, in its various Länder, has passed a law banning the public display, at LAN parties and the like, of the game Counter-Strike, effecting the closure of a tournament there.
And while it’s real easy to say something like, “lol, germany fail!,” who are we to tell someone how to run their country? If officials there feel it’s in the best interest to ban the game, so be it.
It’s not like it affects your playing Mad World in Columbus, Ohio, now does it?

nah, its ok to say “germany, epic fail”. we deserve it. the older generetion in Germany seems to hate the younger generations, especially their knowledge in IT-Topics. Of course they can say it this way, so they try to stigmatize our hobby, even if the whole world think we’re kind of stupid.
And as a matter of fact a lot of people think after reading such “news” that videogames are the devil themself. well, its seems to be that our nation is kind of stupid.
