That's why you need to get it gifted from the same region. The problem you had was due to regional pricing. Games from Russia simply don't work outside of Russia iirc. Could be the same thing with India or whatever. But games that are censored in Germany or Australia due to their strict video game censorship laws do work if you trade for them or get them gifted from another EU country or a region with similar prices to EU like USA. One could also "travel" abroad to buy a game they want.
Too bad i have to work tomorrow.
would be an ideal way to pass the day together with the dreadfull weather that we are having.

It's not the game itself that gets censored though, there are a lot of very explicit adult games on German Steam.
The problem is the game page and the pictures and other media on there. That needs to be censored or rather Steam would need to set up an age verification process that prevents minors from seeing these images while browsing Steam.
Something more robust than just asking for your age. Steam won't do that so these games then get banned.
So if the Steam page was SFW then the game wouldn't be censored.
Still fucking stupid but it's not just the law that is the problem, it's also that Steam chooses to rather block the games and lose the income than set something up for this specific market. Which kinda surprises me tbh, I expect they lose a lot of income this way.

I more had the games like Wolfenstein and Hearts of Iron that have Nazi symbols in mind with my comment. I think those games themselves are censored in Germany. Although I believe their laws are getting more lax with stuff like that recently. Australia on the other hand is draconian with video game censorship as far as I know.
Point being that you can still obtain the uncensored or unavailable versions if you trade for them or get them gifted from an appropriate region. (Or fuck around with VPNs but that could get your whole account flagged so I wouldn't experiment with that without knowing exactly if it's safe or not)

Open your VPN add a game to your steam shopping cart, than you can change your country / region at cart page temporarily

Surfshark has a deal, 2 years for 55 euros. has pretty good reviews all around, so that's what I'm using.
Having a VPN has been pretty useful since moving to the EU.

No. Your Steam shop is based on the location you pay from not from the location you are connecting from at the moment. So simply using a VPN wont work. You would have to manually change your payment location. Furthermore doing this to get cheaper prices and to go around region locks is bannable, so you might loose your account.
Need to decide, if its worth the risk for you.
Personally im prob. gonna buy it on DLsite and replace the censored artwork with the uncensored one from a pirated version manually.
