Crytek's Cevat Yerli has stated that the developer will be forced to leave Germany if the country's violent games ban is passed...

Frankfurt based developer Crytek will be forced to relocate from Germany if the country's violent games ban is passed, the company's President and Co-Founder, Cevat Yerli has revealed.

"A ban on action games in Germany is concerning us because it is essentially like banning the German artists that create them. If the German creative community can't effectively participate in one of the most important cultural mediums of our future, we will be forced to relocate to other countries," Yerli told PCGames.de.

"The current political discussion will deprive German talent of its place on the global game development stage, and deprive German consumers of entertainment that is considered safe and fun around the world," Yerli continued.

If passed by the country's government, Germany's violent games ban will not only make the distribution of such games illegal in the territory; it will also outlaw the development of violent action games.

The call for an outright ban on action games that depict violent acts towards human characters follows the tragic shooting of 15 people at a school in Winnenden, near Stuttgart earlier this year.

Tim Kretschmer, who carried out the killings before taking his own life, had previously played violent games including Far Cry 2 and Counter-Strike according to reports.

How have PC gamers been shafted? PCs can still fully utilize the engine, only now the engine is easily accesible to consoles. If anything, it sounds like this will make console games easier to port to the PC, which is great news for PC gamers. I agree that being more console-friendly is a wise business move on Crytek's part, and I hope it becomes a popular engine for the reason stated above. I don't know why developers wouldn't love it; the engine sounds powerful and efficient.
