As living and gaming in Germany, this exact discussion and the practise of banning games for some reasons that never go unexplained (and i mean banned, not mature under the counter stuff, more forbidden going to be destroyed style) is going on since my first 5-Disk set of Doom II. (and thats a bunch of Years now)
As a realistic viewpoint, it never changed what or when i gamed. For example as MortalKombat II arrived in EU on the SNES it got banned within a few months in Germany. So i took a half-hour drive to our dutch neighbours and bought it in an Intertoys shop without even being questioned.
I would be happy for once if games weren't used as "cover-up" for a lot of other political downsides, and besides we have election soon.
For the petition i hope it makes impact (sure i signed), because getting nearer to the election some stupid politicians here are bound to use it as a "look, we sure do something"-Bonus.
But however this ends I#m not afraid of missing anything (or any game).
