Despite the passage of time, Among Us remains current with a solid base of players. InnerSloth has plenty of stories to tell about the game’s development and recently revealed that it had to change a detail in the game to avoid violating a law.
The 2018 title went under the radar during its release; however, in 2020 his success skyrocketed. This forced the studio to modify a particular element, otherwise it would probably have had legal problems in the UK.

Among Us was saved from a possible lawsuit
InnerSloth revealed that the cross that can be seen in the MedBay was initially red, but had to change it to blue when Among Us’ popularity exploded. The reason? Using the original design implied violating the Law of Geneva Conventions.
In case you don’t know, this law regulates important aspects of international humanitarian law and the protection of victims in armed conflicts. It states that the red cross symbol will only be used to identify the personnel working in said institution.
So its use is only authorized for the International Committee of the Red Cross and is prohibited for other purposes. For this reason, the crosses that you see in the MedBay have been modified and have been blue for quite some time. This change was made precisely in 2020.
“Fun fact: after the game went big in 2020, we had to change the color of the MedBay cross because we apparently violated the Law of Geneva Conventions by making it red,” the studio stated in a message where it shared comparative images.
