at least they shouldn't region lock the uncensored version
some people just don't like to be infantilized

Then what's the point of censored version? Steam won't sell game in germany that isn't approved by USK.

lol, no problem for me, if they don't wan't my money, wouldn't buy a censored game

And the developers are totally responsible for that censorship!

Hint: They aren't.

lol? there are lots of games that arent't approved by USK and I can still buy em here on steam (no region lock),
Hint: Steam forces publishers to censor their games ;)

"Hey everyone. It’s early morning over here in Canada. Yes Valve has reached out to me telling me they temporally removed it from Germany. They asked that I make a censored version of the game, which I will do. I cannot say exactly when I will be able to release the censored version but I will try my best. I apologize for the inconvenience."

"And the developers are totally responsible for that censorship!"
there is no law here to censor a game, they only censor it because they're afraid that the game won't get a rating, so yes they are responsible for censorship and region locks.

What can the USK do though? It’s not unlikely a distributor might end up getting sued and has to attend before a court of law, all things considered. A USK rating does not protect from prosecution – neither does a FSK rating for movies – even in regards to certain depictions of violence. The USK’s reputation is at stake here, being unable to even properly assess the legality of the symbols’ usage. If no one tries to publish, however, there is no new decision and there will never be the desired (supposed) legal certainty which is promised by a USK rated release. The USK will likely never change its regulations of their own accord, and the relevant law needs no changing to begin with.Potentially high costs or valuable release time missed on by such a case are excuses; the German versions are enormously expensive to develop, and the time loss can be compensated for. Suing to have the USK rate a game with swastikas in it is not legally incriminating in itself, after all you sue for an administrative act. The central question is: can or should the gaming industry insist on its right to release a “Nazi game” even if the gaming press and their readers themselves declare the international versions illegal for distribution? Do we need a “Nazi-Spiel-Debatte” just after the infamous “Killerspiel-Debatte” seems to be over?


I just don't buy censored games or movies, if I get a censored steam key from HumbleBundle I'll request a refund for the bundle and they deactivate the keys or I do it myself, same goes for other sites, and the Storepage of Raid doesn't even has an infobox that the game is censored, cowards... would give them a negative review for that, but I won't cause I don't buy censored versions..

COD WW2 MP and zombie have no swastikas for all of us.

The public broadcasting services in Germany, which are financed by (almost) every German household, released a satiric fighting game for the recent German federal election that features a quasi-swastika, which could be considered like a proper swastika under German law, intentionally or not. In context of the apparently never-ending discussions about these symbols in video games this is quite remarkable.
