XCOM 2 War of the Chosen - Propaganda Center

[TheFrommie86]

Unfortunately the XCOM 2 War of the Chosen - Propaganda Center is no onger availagle in germany ever since the 19th of November 2024.

I am aware that it is unlikely that anyone besides Community Members will ever read or even see this but it would be greatly apprichiated if the game could be reinstated on Steam

Not at all sure what you are talking about. HOWEVER, a bit of game specific information for you...

EVEN if it disappears on Steam or even only the "Play" button disappears, go to github, download the Alternative Mod Launcher, and bypass 2K and Steam altogether using your local files.

The XCOM 2 War of the Chosen - Propaganda Center is a Program on Steam, a Demo in specific.

It's this, HazardHawk
https://store.steampowered.com/app/433050/XCOM_2_War_of_the_Chosen__Propaganda_Center/

I can't see it on GOG either

As far as I am aware it never was on GOG to begin with.
It was removed from the German Steam Store due to the lack of a Age Label

Maybe you guys shouldnt of done the thing in the 1930's where y'all kinda went overboard with the crazy radical propoganda?

Why has that anything to do with the Discussion?

I assume thats why they took it down in germany. There are many other instances where things are banned only in germany but are fine everywhere else lol.

Just a little introspection is all i'm suggesting, like what is it with germans obsession with propaganda?

Mate...
What on earth are you talking about? Like what is your point here?

All I am asking for is a Demo for a game to be reinstated on steam since the Publisher forgot to put an Age Label onto the Store Page. That's all this thread is about.

The missing Age Label is also the reason why so many other Games disappeared from Steam because the Devs/Publishers forgot to fill out a form on their Steam Development Page, not because of the Actions of Germany back in the 30s and 40s

Yes, I remember now. Never purchased that portion as never actually cared what characters specifically looked like or how they were dressed. It is on sale now, 90% off. May grab it now for the heck of it.

As for "age labels", it is mostly a developer or publisher oversight. Contact 2K and ask about getting that corrected to match the game itself. Setting up a sales page on Steam is so simple it is ridiculous! All they have to do is select edit, select the check box for age restriction, and select which available rating. This has to be done even when there is no age limitation.

Yeah I already did that, thought I also start a thread just for the sake of it , who knows what results it micht bring

Also went and did some checking. Go to its install location on your hard drives. Removed directly from Steam, you had it, it should still be there. If it is, try to local executable to launch.

I have several games which have fallen off of Steam, Stormrise comes to mind automatically, which have been removed altogether from Steam, but still work and launch from their original install files if they are present as the steam linked file is still in place.

Had wondered how they would handle that. That means it updated to be provided deliberately with an invalid license.

The modders in the TW Warhammer Workshop often update to gibberish leaving it for months so anyone signing in to Steam has their copy removed. It is a little bit annoying! Hahahahahaha

2K is the only folks which can assist you. Unless there was a Russian release. A Russian release would be a direct download and executable to install not requiring Steam at all. Russian copies have the base game in English and then all the Cyrillic keyboard languages selectable to install the translation.

The only other advisement I could give cannot be given on Steam,.

I contacted the 2K support and oprned a ticket, that's all I can do really.

Sadly the Demo's no where else than Steam
But AFAIK the features of it should be part of the War of the Chosen DLC

Use Google, search "XCOM 2: War of the Chosen - Propaganda Center download"

Scroll down, find the code weaver website for using this crossover, and see if they can assist you. Would give the link, but with my luck my last 90 days of posting history would disappear with the link flagged! lol

I have no idea, but it does seem to me to be able to use a Steam Library download to cross it over to XCOM 2 on another platform likely doesnt require Steam running to say no license.
