Is anyone aware of some event that kicked off this posting? Has a particular game misused the symbol badly?

It all makes sense but I am not sure if it has been submitted in response to some recent egregious misuse.

Many first person shooters and their health power-ups.

Also, my googling found this: https://www.thedrum.com/news/2017/01/17/indie-games-develope...

I can't see how that detracts from the symbol - if anything, it makes it clearer what it represents. If there was a game with Nazis carrying red crosses instead of swastikas or something, this post might make sense, but it just seems unreasonable to me.

The point is to strictly maintain the symbol as indicating members of the internationally neutral Red Cross and Red Crescent, not just "healing". If a war happens and a bunch of people on either side are using the red cross symbol to indicate medics, then members of the actual Red Cross are at risk of being accidentally targeted along with them.

They do, medical branches of the military are allowed to use the symbols.
