Germany sucks as a place for tech startups, but not because of this. Your information is years outdated, the law has long since been adjusted to include digital media under the art and expression exclusions for the use and depiction of Nazi imagery.

Are giblets in TF2 still burgers, springs and gears?

By default yes, but you can contact steam support and ask them to disable no violence mode for you. Usually takes less than three days.

That’s a ridiculous step to have to take.

But that's on Valve, not Germany. Experts say they probably could have released the original with no problems back then.

How is German law/policy on Valve? You realize that the Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle refused to rate Half-Life and Half-Life 2 until changes like changing human blood to green and making enemies robots were made right? So it would stand to reason that Valve would proactively submit a version of TF2 that incorporated the required changes they’d been forced to make for the German market in the past.
