Nothing to do with STEAM or age verification system. In Germany every game requires a certification handed out by USK before a publisher or developer can sell their game.

All DPC has to do is to submit his game to USK and get his game verified. Afterwards he can sell it everywhere in Germany.
This is not only wrong in this case. Games that are not checked by the USK are simply treated like a USK 18 game. It may end on the "index" (List of media harmful to young people - enforced by the "BPjM") but even then it is technicly possible to buy it. It just means that these games may not be advertised in any media or put on display in retail stores, so noone knows if you can buy it.

In this case the blame is on steam and it's - non existant - ageverification system. Valve used the simplest way and put a regio lock on these game, so you can't even start the game in Germany. It sucks if you want to honestly buy the game, but that's how it is in Germany.

That's not quite true. For pornographic content, there is a general obligation to verify the age when selling and even for advertising it. See German Criminal Code §184, which regulates the distribution of pornographic content.

Pornographic content may not even be advertised publicly (visible in the steam store), if it cannot be ensured that this is only seen by 18+ year olds.

Really?!?! its not available in a county with legal prostitution and a very liberal stance on porn, man germany is pretty fucked on censorship, i have heard about what they like doing to a lot of violence video games but what the hell?!?
The same is true for Australia, which also banned the sale of adult/porn games on Steam. From what I've read, the rationale for these bans was due to legislators' belief that a platform like Steam is primarily to sell content to children. Never mind that children can just as easily type " " into a browser as they can hunt for adult games on Steam (Valve has a "family view" feature on Steam that prevents accessing the store and any games that parents don't want their children to play).

On that note, of Jill falling for scams (not the futa Josy), I do hope Tybalt's blackmail is the last example of this and Jill learns her lesson to be a little more sceptical. I'd hate for Jill to get herself tied up in some scam with this Johnathan cunt:

Jill: "Dear Johnathan."​
Jill: "It's been a while! How have you been? I should have written you more often, but you know how it is."​
Jill: "For me, it's been all about college, with little time for much else."​
Jill: "Even so, you all have been in the back of my mind."​
Jill: "I made an attempt, a poor one at that, to start a campaign in Lana's honor, but I fear it will stay a dream if I don't get help with the first steps."​
Jill: "Remembering how you let me be a part of your group with open arms, you're the only one I know with the knowledge to help me get going."​
Jill: "Can we get together soon? I understand if you're busy, but I would love the opportunity to pick your brains about it."​
Jill: "All the best - Jill Royce"​
Reading between the lines, this Johnathan fucker definitely wants to bone her... :cautious: :p
Who the fuck is Jonathan? :unsure:

I'm planning to buy Season 2 on Steam both to support the developer and avoid the downloading hassles. Just wondering if anybody knows if the plan is for Season 2 to be released on Steam one month after the Patreon release of Episode 8 as was the case for Season 1/Episode 4, and also whether The Complete Official Guide will be updated for Season 2 and available the same day as the game release as was the case for Season 1?

In anticipation of Episode 8, I've been refreshing my memory of the list of unanswered questions leading into the next release (courtesy of shazba):

Storyline Questions


It's a great list, but I STILL want to know who's at the door:

Knock, knock

It could mean something, it could mean nothing. But it has bothered me ever since Episode 5.

now we´re talking!
I admit, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Sally or KRJ with a ball gag in use. Or even Maya, while Quinn is spanking her.

bro wtf are you talking about? I posted that comment 2 and a half years ago LOL
Okay, I don't know why, but the nature of your response made me think of one thing only.

The big difference between Steam and the big porn platforms is that they usually belong to a network of interwoven mailbox companies. XHamster's domain, for example, officially belongs to a Russian pensioner who receives a few rubles for it. Even if public prosecutors in Germany wanted to sue those responsible for these sites, it is simply almost impossible to identify them at all.

As a result, Riona will cum from Derek's cock, lol. And Derek will mock the hero for the entire 8th episode and half of the third season.

I don't think it would particularly bother Riona either.... :unsure: :unsure:
I like her a lot and as a real LI I would most definitely consider her as my MC's main girl, but the way she is written I would have no problem sharing her with Derek and I'm far from being a sharing lover. Bros be4 hoes!
