Some games are deemed too violent like Postal 2. No problem tho, i got mine on GOG.


Every games with blood are censored in Germany, not only extremes ones.

I understand the Problem with Nazism in Germany but those are already games supposed to be played by adults. YOu could argue Merica got similar problem with nudity, in both cases I find the censorship terrible.


BTW GGG really look terrible in my book censoring those old videogame pictures too. For fuck sake your game is supposed to be played by late teens/adiults not childs and there is plenty references to genocide + rape (brutus) in your game.


POE got censored?

The USK and censorship[edit]

Violence in video games is a controversial subject in Germany, and German localisations of violent games are often heavily cut by the publishers to permit a public release. Usually this entails a simple removal or reduction of depictions of blood and gore, but often extends to cuts in the content or plot of the game, as was the case in games such as Phantasmagoria, Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh, Counter-Strike, Grand Theft Auto, Wolfenstein: The New Order or South Park: The Stick of Truth.

All games that are released to the public are required to carry a certificate given by the USK (Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle - Voluntary Monitoring Organisation of Entertainment Software). If the USK refuses certification of a title, it may be, and often is, placed upon the index. The compulsory nature of the USK label was a consequence of the 2003 modification of the Jugendschutzgesetz.

The 2003 changes to the Jugendschutzgesetz also announced an intent to extend the restrictions on the depiction of violence in video gaming, leaving open the possibility of banning any depiction of violence in video gaming, which was met by widespread outcry from the video gaming community in Germany. The then in power CDU/SPD coalition government announced an intention to enact this in 2005, but in November 2006 it was announced that such restrictions would not be enacted at this time.[citation needed]

Nah, this was just the right thing. It informs the audience without being over-apologetic.
