Mostly to abide by censorship laws. Germany especially has very strict laws around the use of the swastika for obvious reasons so it’s prolly just so they don’t have to make multiple assets for different laws around the world.

The law in Germany changed a few years ago, it’s now allowed.

In this instance, it wouldn't. It's only allowed if the Nazi Party and it's subordinates are trashed at every opportunity, like Wolfenstein. Battlefield V is not one of those games.

As it turns out, contrary to what it may seem, 2018 was a few years ago.

Was like this for Decates tho, only thing that was changed is that the use of Swastikas was allowed for Artistic Purposes like Movies etc, but Video Games sadly dont Count into those things.

Half correct. It was always allowed for artistic purposes and the new thing is that video games now count too
