GoG announced today that they will region lock about 20 games for Germans this week. It seems as if GoG wants to kill it`s german market.
They decided to threat us germans not as adults, but as little Kindergarten kids, which I find inacceptable.

It's the German censorship.

They were all removed on Steam a while back though.

They really should implement some sort of age verification thing for German customers.

Aww. And here I thought only Valve would be affected by this crap. :/
Titles like Kingpin and the like will be region locked...meh.

I think Germany is killing the German market.

^this
GOG doesn't make your laws

You ever notice how all the banned games are foreign?

It's the gamocaust, I tell you.

Guess now's the last chance to buy those games.

Yeah, region locking is mainly a legal problem and not necessarily GOG's choice.

Now that is an interesting point! No shit.
As you are a German I want to learn about this stuff, being totally serious here.

We all know about the laws pertaining to these games, but what about said production? I would imagine there are game devs in Germany, and some damn good ones, but are there laws in place dictating what they cannot include in their production?

Is it a better country now that those games aren't in it?

Go fight your government which is the real reason for this censorship.
Or use trading/vpn's

I know in Germany there are laws stating swastikas cannot be shown and blood has to be green. Are there any others that might affect these games?

Edit: As a follow up to what Mobutu said: If someone buys one of those games then gifts it to a german friend? Is that ok?
