Why is Germany such a rigid country with entertainment?
About the video clips on the internet. There was a dispute between YouTube and the GEMA (Society for musical performing and mechanical reproduction rights). YouTube did not want to pay royalties to this organisation. Music videos and videos with music by artists represented by the GEMA have been blocked by YouTube. Instead of the video there was just this text: "Unfortunately, this video is not available in Germany, because it may contain music for which GEMA has not granted the respective music rights. Sorry about that." In October 2016 they made an agreement and videos are not blocked anymore.
About the video games. Games which show anti-constitutional symbols, like nazi symbols, or glorify National Socialism are banned. For example, the developers of Wolfenstein had to change some parts, so the game could be published in Germany.

Other reason

Due to legal reasons, they changed something in the new Wolfenstein. The swastika flags have been replaced by a different symbol. But they also changed some names, Hitler is "Heiler" and instead of "Führer" he is called "Kanzler".
