Just because steam shuts down store pages does not mean, that that is what the law requires.
Its like saying
to prevent car accidents, no one drives a car.
Instead of saying, people need this or that to handle car driving.

Actually that is precisely what many places do. Severe drought increases the risk of fire? No fireworks allowed to alleviate risk

Global Pandemic spreading? No large gatherings.

Restricting or blocking activities or things being sold are perfectly normal ways to comply with rulings. Steam is under no obligation to sell to every region in the world. If the cost of doing business in a region outweighs the benefits then you don't do business there. Sure there could be many ways to comply with the law, but not doing business in a region to comply with the law is totally an option.

No fancy law degree required, just basic common sense.

It would not cost steam money.
Just an email.
And the user pays the method.

Like when you order alcohol and it must be sent with age verification. The fee is added.
In this case 80 cent.

People like you make steam not do such a method. Because oooohhhh and uhhhhh this and that, lets better shut it down, brian said there is no other way.

Not a single law changed. But someone actually cared
Oops

if someone would really care (at valve) then access to most games would be "forbidden" in germany as an actual age check would be required (in theory) at almost every game (at least everything rated higher then 12 cause of other laws which might interfere in some other way).

And yes, if valve would have to do that im quite sure that they would solve that "problem" really fast...(as it would impact the selling of their own games.....the few which they have)

Steam has to implement that, implement a check to know if the email was clicked, etc. All that costs programming, requires testing, development, support, etc. Programmers don't work for free after all.......

If you used the search, among the threads also locked about such there's the mention Steam is working on a solution that would make Germany happy. So, "Coming Soon"*

*In "Steam Time"

Messaggio originale di Emrifreak:

Damn hell of a lot of MURICANS in this discussion.

Well this is an American company, so most sections are in English and dominated by such. There's areas for other languages; russian, french, german etc which you're free to use if you don't like Americans.

Next time, try not to lose your cool to the point you get a ban; you can use your anger to write in a civil manner to your politicians

Again though, the solution could very well be we just won't sell them in Germany. There is no guarantee the solution will be one people like which is why people should petition their government to stop being basically the only country in the world with special rules regarding it.

Actually some of the adult game publishers on Steam did go and got themselves a USK rating , the "Keine Jugendfreigabe" one.
And those games can be accessed even from Germany.
Figure that.

again it's not Valve's job to change the laws. they're just a company. lol not really a hard concept to follow.

They pay taxes. They do not shut down the store because a law says, pay taxes.

No one said that valve should change laws.........but it is quite funny that they follow some of them, but ignore most of the rest which would affect their business in a more critical manner then just not to be able to sell some niche games ;)

Unrelated.
Paying taxes is based off of sales, which is automatically collected accordingly with almost never any issues.

Being punished ie fined or threatened of such per day/week/month for an "issue" existing and "not fixed" as subjected to them by another countries laws, is shutting it down to work on a resolution which they said is being worked on. That was a rather poor comparison.

Steam removing gifting when a game is over a 10% difference between regions because of taxes would be a far better comparison to what is going on.

It was a reply to someone who claimed we talk about steam having to change laws.....
