Battlefield V premium not-a-Nazi (say EA) to be renamed in honour of resistance fighter
The good side of Battlefield V dropping season passes is that everyone gets free maps. The trade-off is that, being a World War 2 game, any cosmetic gubbins they sell, including ‘elite’ character skins, is going to include Nazis and Nazi memorabilia, even if the swastikas are painted over. That’s bad enough, but earlier today, Vice published a piece pointing out that premium Nazi Wilhelm Franke shares a name with a famous WW2 resistance fighter who fell foul of the Gestapo. EA have since contacted Vice saying that Wilhelm will be renamed. Also that he’s not a Nazi. Oh. Oh dear.
