Since today Germany has blocked Adult games from the Steam store.

[Crome18]

Hello perverted friends, It is a very sad day today.

Rip to all us German people that would love to support our Developers over Steam.
I believe 90% of the Games (weirdly enough most of the Kagura games are still buyable) we would be able to buy on Steam won't be accessible anymore from this day on, until Steam decides to change their age verification process :/

VPN's sadly also will not work since Steam recently changed that you have to now have a billing address out of the country you wanna buy the game in.

Here a Reddit thread about it aswell

EDIT: 24.12.2020
I have found out ALL of the Kagura Games on Steam are still buyable? (is that maybe a Tag thing? or is that a deal ?)
People found a way to Screw the system for now. You can buy games over Steamdb by adding them to your Wishlist and then hitting the buy button on the wishlist.
It will then look like this and should still be working. (btw. I am using Metro for steam if that is something that is needed)

Man, this censorship is terrible, why are they so intolerant?

 

[Crome18]

The sad thing is you can't even see the games in the store anymore for maybe further investigation somewhere else
:/

It's not censorship, it's for protection of minors; that law has been in effect for years in Germany; it's only now caught up to Steam.

? Every country has old reactionary fucks who try to dictate what content people have access to. Now they're joined by SJWs who ironically are much the same, just with green hair and nose rings.

That is not the solution, kids will get it if they really want to, i was the kid
The solution is for parents to be careful with their kids

Steam sucks anyway. There's plenty of game stores and some are bound to be working in Germany.

Yes of course, makes perfect sense that the nation that tried to introduce a porn licence would leave the EU because Germany wants better age verification. Something both countries would agree on. Piss off you melt.

Are you shitting me? I am fucking 32 and I have to deal with shit like that? Pornhub is fine but Steam where you need a fucking Account and a Online-Payment Method is not? Wtf is this shit?

Does using Keys still work? So Devs would need to start selling Steamkeys on other Platforms then.

Censorship is still censorship even if you think it's justified. If you're pro-censorship then own your position, man!

I just gifted me Twists of my Life via my 2nd Account, that still works.

From the Reddit link:
"Instead of offering a 'strong' age-verification Steam has now decided to nuke all adult games in the biggest gaming market in Europe."
sounds like it's a little more complicated than Germany just censoring adult games. Seems like Valve's greed is just as responsible for getting in the way of them offering games in Germany.

the USK is a bunch of old sacks, they censored/banned Die Ärzte- Geschwisterliebe or Claudia has an... a long time ago

The USK has nothing to do with it. The banned Games don't even have a USK Rating. Its sadly just Steam being greedy retards just banning everything instead of implementing a age-verification system.

i grew up in the gdr, the wall has fallen....one thought, now one is free...but it was all just an illusion

It really is and it's indeed a problem in general.

By now like 70% of kids get their smartphone below the age of 10 and they could/can basically get access to all kinds of hardcore shit via google within seconds. So I doubt it's the tech-savvy horny 15/16 year old these kind of child protection regulations are really aiming for, but more the naive 10 to 13 year old.

It's just a huge mess and even I don't really know what the best solution is, but it's certain that it'll require some efforts from everybody to make it work. This just isn't it.

The Landesmedienanstalten are trying to get rid of pornhub, xhamster & co since 2019. (maybe even longer...)
