BERLIN (Reuters) - Computer games that feature symbols of unconstitutional organisations such as the swastika of Hitler's Nazi party could be sold in Germany in future after the game classification body said on Thursday it was changing how it assessed them.

A clause in the criminal code that allows such symbols to be used in a "socially adequate" way will now be applied to games just as it is to films, the German Entertainment Software Self-Regulation Body (USK) said on Thursday.
