A heads up, but Outlast 2 has just been refused classification in Australia. Whether that will result in the game becoming regionally-locked or edited to remove the offending scenes, it remains to be seen.

Yeah. :/ Based on what I read about the controversy, Outlast 2 apparently features scenes containing sexual abuse or outright rape. Wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being too much for the BPjM.

Aye. But apparently Outlast 1 was never rated for PC either (the USK only lists ratings for Outlast for PS4 and Xbone) like Shadow Warrior 2013 / Shadow Warrior 2. We'll have to see whether they're actually trying to get a rating or not....

A little late, here's MaGog's confirmation of the unblocking of the Hidden & Dangerous games in Brazil:
---------------------------
>>> Hidden & Dangerous Action Pack is no longer regionally locked in BR
---------------------------
>>> Hidden & Dangerous 2: Courage Under Fire is no longer regionally locked in BR

So GOG does it "right", Steam does it "wrong".

Companies which are located in Germany because the German law ends at the German border. The BPjM can't do anything when it comes to none German stores (located in Germany) except indexing the website and there are no shops on the index.

If your company is located within the EU and you are (also) selling to German customers, you'll also have to abide by German law, because the German law is enforcable through EU law.
So your company should a) don't sell to Germans and be located somewhere outside of Germany or b) sell to Germans and be located somewhere outside of the EU.
