Dying Light banned in Germany

The german BpjM has banned Techland´s Dying Light from the Market after the game got no approval by their Rating-Board USK.

Good grief

Germany's laws are ridiculous most of the time when he comes to video games, it's the reason why most of us in Europe suffer with video game censorship

Biggest one was the gore in the Last of Us Multiplayer been censored for all of us because of Germany's laws.

Well, blame the Allies after World War 2.

[BABY-JEDI]

So in an alternative universe where Hitler was to win WW2. Does anybody think that video games would be banned? Just curious, not trying to be controversial

[Mutant-Spud]

If Hitler had won the world would still look much as it does now, some of us refer to the Third Reich as the "First European Union" and the Nazis were all in favour of normal people having fun and pursuing hobbies in their spare time.

Ah, there's nothing quite like a bunch of out-of-touch suits telling the people what they can and can't play.

I feel your pain, Germany. And I'll make sure to kill plenty of zombies in your name on release.

"youth-endangering media"

This super-violent game that is clearly for adults only is being banned because the kids who shouldn't be playing it will see blood. Makes sense. /s

[core_5]

It´s the same like in the us with Sex, we calls this violence LOL

[Gore-Content]

Must suck being a gamer living in germany

[Tibbers]

Import is still possible.

[Scatpants]

Wow, Germany is like the new Australia. If they're going to ban this for "endangering the youth" even though this game is not for the youth, then they should ban all porn too. We know they won't do that because Germany is pretty in to porn. What a bunch of hypocrites. This is the work of shitty bureauocrats who are out to impress a bunch of uptight old people.

[iSuperSaiyanGod]

Germany has some of the craziest sex & porn known to man , but ban this .. Wtf lol . My 58 year old grandma even thinks this game is cool lol

Even though the translation is off, there's nothing about it being banned. It sounds as if it was put on a list for consideration.

The intricacies of such a development would probably take up more that a few short paragraphs. Surely, if Dying Light were actually Banned (as in literally pulled from the stores and Steam) there would be more information on the matter?

Title is entirely misleading and in fact posting this is wrong to begin with as it lacks any substantive information.

"Dying Light provisionally indicated in Germany" That's your title.

"As a result, a judge must now decide whether 'Dying Light' is finally withdrawn from service in Germany or is merely indicated." This is the description.

Does that mean its Banned? I have no clue, that is literally a quarter of the "article".

is it only me that i cant open the window to read this bullshit???!!!

[RadioActiveTwinky]

If it is banned I won't be surprised because IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME YET....

#*#&#&#&#,#,#SPOI LERS#*#*#*#*#*#*

There is a part of the game where you kill children. ( a zombie class. Like the witch in L4D) Sure they are zombie children but they are children in general.

[jakmckratos]

Not trying to but it's kind of funny how in 75 years a country has gone from allowing the Holocaust to be a thing to being one of the most restrictive countries in the world in terms of media....

[CLOUD1983]

WoW! I didn't know we had in EU a country with the same retarded way of thinking like AU very disappointing Germans join the club with AU it seems what club I won't say because the mods here also belong to the same club & they like to show how powerful their mod-skillZ is.

[mogwaii]

Mate aus has relaxed HEAPS! A few years ago we were a bit strict and strange in terms of what would and wouldn't pass but never anything like germany, they take the cake.
I think in regards to the change in aus its because all the old fuddy duddies on the board of censors either died or retired....thank f**k for that!.

[mogwaii]

What a surprise

[Hotzan]

Ok Germany I'm a help ya out. All ya have to do is make a new psn account( ps plus not required). Then when ask region put America instead of Germany. Fill out the rest and that's it. You will now have full acces to the USA psn store where you can buy what you want.
