@Mevious/Ben please rate Rexaura to protect it from German laws...!

Dear Ben,

please consider filling out Steam's questionnaire about age rating. There will be a German law coming on 15th Nov 2024 which will prevent German gamers from visiting the store page of unrated games. Reaxaura does not have a rating yet, I guess it needs to be done seperately from the base game. Please save Rexaura...

With this questionnaire filled out correctly, Steam will rate the game and everything's fine.
Thanks in advance! :-)

Thanks for letting me know about this! I logged into the steamworks developer dashboard and checked the page you linked. It says this:

"All good; all your games have the required rating entered."

I guess it either inherited the rating for Portal or someone already did it for me. It's also possible mods or DLC aren't included in this requirement. I guess we'll see for sure on the 15th.

Thanks for the reply. That's some interesting input.
I don't see a rating yet, whereas Portal 2 mods like Mel, Reloaded and Revolution have one.
I'll keep you updated in a couple of days.

It's gone :-(
You can see this on steamdb under restricted countries:

Hello Mevious,

as SpielSatzFail says, Rexaura is now blocked in Germany. Not to worry though, we figured out what is going on:

Even though Steamworks tells you "All good; all your games have the required rating entered.", that's actually wrong.

What you have to do: resubmit the content survey once again.
Only this time (on completion) an age rating for Germany gets created.

Very simple, but incredibly confusing communication from Valve regarding this issue.

Kind regards
nian

Thanks SpielSatzFail and nian for looking into this! I found the content survey, filled it out, and saw the content rating for Germany. The game no longer shows as a restricted country on SteamDB. Please let me know if it's still unavailable.

Thank you so much!
The storepage is back and has the rating!
