Hentai Games blocked in Germany?

[Sotar89]

Since Today i can´t get to some Store pages. Everything published by Nutaku, nearly everything with Hentai in his Name and many other adult Games like Meltys Quest, Lockdown Lewd up and so on. Anybody know something?

[crusnik]

All games marked as adult-only have been region blocked on the German store as of today.
I've written a reddit topic in r/steam with further info.

Thx, for the information. what a shame.

Just noticed this, well crap.
I still could buy the one i already had in my cart.

[Fake News Fredo]

I did test a few things.
Right now, they still show up in my wishlist.
I can still get them into my cart, from the wishlist & buy them, even if i can't open the
store page.
I'm pretty sure they will change that, at some point. Let's hope they do it after the winter sale.

Did you tried to go through?
Maybe it'll just return an error message in the end?!

[Fake News Fredo]

Yes, the one yesterday, that was already in my cart.
I did buy the game, it showed the game in activity, but i could not open the storepage.
When the sale starts, in a few hours, i'll try again.

You might wanna use a VPN to browse those page.
But to buy those games use their sub id using steamdb.
Google on how to, because it's complicated to explain how to.

VPN stopped working 1-2 years ago, i think.
They changed to Account is set to a country and can't be changed, like some time ago.
To change the country, you need a adress in a different country & it was enough BS for
me to drop it after a few hours of trying.
EDIT Oh, on top of that my free VPN did not work with that.

[Rik67]

I never said you should change your country.

I can't find a thing about it. Is it OK if i contact you on Discord?

[grody_antagonic]

to buy through Sub-ID you search for the ID of the game on SteamDB and then put it like that:
https://store.steampowered.com/sub/210118/

With /sub/subID/
that way you should still be able to buy.

To find the subID go to the page of the game on SteamDB and click on the Packages tab.
https://steamdb.info/app/723090/subs/
Left row are the subs, you need the ID for the game with the store-page which is marked.

[Rik67]

Sure, but I can't explain how to.

Weirdly enough, Gun Gun Pixies is also unavailable in Germany, despite having been given an GOFLC rating of MA18+.

Well, actually sortof, because I was shown the way that you can still access its storepage.

Having an adult filter on a game that's not even sexually explicit is a real headscratcher.

Funny thing is i still could buy AI Shoujo although it has the tag NSFW

This is getting more messed up by the minute.
The thing grody_antagonic posted, went from works fine to not working.
The games from my wishlist, that could not be opened a few hours ago, can be opened right now.
My guess it that Steam decided to wait till after the sale, or that they are testing this to get it running soon.
