He needs PEGI16 because with PEGI18 the game is Adult Only and Ocean would not be able to have access to his own game on steam from germany.
Urm, that's not how it works. He couldn't buy it (without some little workaround) but german Game Studios made many games for Adult only and I don't speak only about sexual content. Sure they've access to their game.

Who gives a shit bout Germanys idiotic Pegi Sys
isn't german. It's pan-european and 38 european countries are part of it. As a matter of fact Germany isn't part of it. Germany has the which isn't as strict as PEGI.

Is that so? Maybe I misunderstood Ocean here:

But that sounded like he don't want to have a PEGI16, because it would be bad to scaled up to PEGI18 afterwards. But I'm honest and admit I didn't really understood what he meant with it.
I think what Ocean is saying is that he doesn't want the curators reviewing it as PEGI 16 if steam slap an 18 on it. So he's waiting for the steam review to be complete to send it to the curators so they're reviewing the version which will be in the store. I think.

No You can not buy ANY Adult games like this in GErmany because Steam has no Id verrification system. Tghe only way to support these games in Germany is Patreon or other sites anyway.

This topic is a total mess, I haven't found any stuff in the web that would put a light on it from a developer side.

Now I got annoyed have asked on Oceans discord:

This is how I thought it was, good to have confirmation. I think this means Ocean needs this as a test case so he can see how it works, before releasing WiaB on Steam - WiaB will get the adult/porn label, so Ocean will have to do it blind. Having SG as a test case means he'll have a chance to work out all the bugs even if he can't see the end result for the next seasons/games.

You should read again what I wrote. There's a difference between user account and developer/publisher account. A german dev HAS access to their account and game.

Btw: I'm german. You don't have to tell me what I can buy on Steam and what not. I never said the german Steam store has these games. But you can use a workaround. In my Steam library are enough AVN and I bought them all while sitting in Germany.
