Requiring new releases to provide this information going forward makes sense. But I expect a lot of older titles have no one actively paying attention to go get this paperwork filled out, and will get blocked as a result. This law should’ve just applied to everything new released after the law takes effect, grandfathering in legacy content.
Older titles should be restricted to +18 by default, at least they would stay purchasable.
Why only Germany? Adult games on Steam are pretty much porn.
Is there a list (ideally sorted by rating) with affected games?
Considering a lot of games on steam don’t have a rating at all, it’s probably going to affect damn near everything but AAA games, honestly
No it fortunatly doesn’t. The games don’t need an USK (official german) rating. Steam seems to have it’s own rating system which seems to be enough
Man, the Germans have a history of taking L’s.
