Most of their important LAN's are banned because of killing games such as counter-strike and WC3, what a blow to competitive gaming.

EDIT: This was before the article was posted on GotFrag.

"Earlier this year the Friday Night Games of the ESL Pro Series in Stuttgart, Karlsruhe and Nuremberg were also banned for quite the same reason. It looks like there are still hurdles to overcome between the German politicians and competitive gaming."

" This event is not allowed to to be held in this state due to playing "Killergames" such as Counter-Strike and Warcraft III."

THIS STATE being used to imply the obvious (or so I thought). and I used "THOSE" (plural) to encompass what you just quoted.

Gratz.

#7 I'm not going to argue, the title was misleading as it wasn't banned completely obviously. However the "this state" was talking about the state that held that event. Other states have done the same, and there's rumor that it's going to continue to occur around the country. What's the point of your accusation?

It'll only be time before it spreads worldwide, which will be a good thing.

#21... Sweden,Denmark,Poland, etc are still around.

I think the German teams can still play in international tournaments, just not local. Plus they didn't ban Counter-Strike, just a few LAN tournaments :P

the worst thing is that the shooting event is still held in the same town.
