made by some German right wing extremist

News to me. Do you have any articles on this? Searching for "banana right wing" gives me a bunch of articles about Chiquita funding a paramilitary group.

One of the devs had his steam name set to "Abschieben schafft Wohnraum" which translates to "Deportation creates living space". He has now hidden previous names and claimed that this was to troll, but he still has Trump and Putin as his background so I don't think that I am going to believe that.
