As far as I know there is no law here that would forbid the use of the symbols which are forbidden in Germany and Austria. Steam says clearly that the available version is cut and just in German language.
So why can't I activate the game in Switzerland* even if there shouldn't be a reason for that? Or am I missing something that allows me to buy the game?
*maybe in other European countries too, in France e.g.?

After protests of players in Switzerland and Austria, who were unhappy with the unnecessary region lock, Bethesda has now deactivated the lock in both countries. You can now activate the international version of the game on Steam with all the swastikas.
This has been confirmed in an email from the Bethesda Customer service on the Steam forum. English translation:
This also applies to Switzerland.
