Try to get any VN on Steam from Germany -- and you'll find out that you'll get non that contains any kind on nudity - same goes for GOG.
Steam uses the PEGI system.
DriftyGames , So you are forbidden from both of them from now on and my beloved Sasha.
But it's fine, I don't mind waiting. Lots of other games to play, books to read and shows to watch.Me too...
Your statement is beyond reproach, BUT is your name on her face, on her body, or anywhere else? NO ergo, it's NOT YOUR SASHA! OK?definitely, Sasha is a unique wonderful beloved Girl, I Love her, So What??!!
NO.Your statement is beyond reproach, BUT is your name on her face, on her body, or anywhere else? NO ergo, it's NOT YOUR SASHA! OK?
She belongs to all of us!!!
No matter the naming it is a weird censorship.
It's especially odd given how crazy German porn is lol.
Well, talk with Steam. They use PEGI. The german system USK isn't as strict as PEGI. In Germany it's only porn if you see an erect dick and/or open vagina. Summer's Gone is USK 16 even with the removed pictures everybody talks about.
Dude, once again: IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GERMANY! In fact nobody in Germany cares about boobs. You can see them on television in the afternoon, even in tv shows for children. It's not the USA where the whole country gets a meltdown when Janet Jackson shows a nipple during super bowl show.
So it gets PEGI 16, and can be bought in the US by pretty much anyone, because there is no age verification, but Germany which has a less strict rating, noone can download or buy it when the only sexual content is boobs and innuendo.
Not Germany, or thier USK(former FSK), or PEGI are enforcing that censorship/geoblock.
This is what I'm trying to understand - it hasn't received and 18+ rating, but a 16+ one, so why would it be geoblocked to germany?
That's on Valve. In the EU you have to have an age verification system. It's EU law. The problem with Germany is that Germany is the only country in the EU where an old catholic hag sued Valve because of the lack of said verfication system. Instead of implementing an age verification system which fits to EU law, Valve decided to shadow ban german customers from games with sexual content. Same would happen if someone in the Netherlands, Poland, Austria, Denmark, France, Italy, etc. would sue them. Valve don't want to invest money into an age verification system. As long as no one goes to court no government cares about it. But it's EU law.
No, it doesn't. It just shows you don't know the background about Steam, and just a FYI: as a german you can buy said games on Steam. You just have to know how.
1. SG has nudity (the rating is irrelevant)
The rating is not the problem by itself, at least not alone. It's the content shown. And the nail steam is hanging Ocean out to dry is "frequent nudity"
Sorry, the internet got in the way, I was sarcastic (at steam, not you) about it making sense, sorry. What you say here makes actual sense, thank you.
This is interesting because I'm not from Europe. Steam has hidden the webpage globally now, so you have to sign in to see it, while if I view the Epic page from the US, (17+ there) I have to verify my age with the date, but from the Netherlands it is PEGI 16, no check, can see the Epic page, japan, IARC 16 no check, can see the Epic page.
