Dying Light: Germany ruined international release for all switch

The existing indexing of horror classics Dying Light becomes the problem for players around the world with the current switch release. Because the legal situation in Germany forces Nintendo to keep the zombie horror away from the eShop in other countries.

Indexing of Dying Light prevents Switch version

Due to the Germany-wide indexing of Dying Light, the game must not be advertised and only sold on demand to majority. So that the digital version in Germany is not offered on Steam, PS Store or in the Nintendo eShop.

Since Nintendo of Europe has now its headquarters in Germany and is subject to the Europe-wide eShop German law, the new Platinum version of Dying Light is offered neither throughout Europe nor in England, Australia and New Zealand in the eShop. And that, although the game is likely to be available there.

Developer Techland has now responded to the requests of countless players and probably tries to set up the indexing of Dying Light in Germany :

If you speak of the digital version - the digital version is indexed because of your content in Germany and the European Nintendo eShop is also officially registered. It makes it impossible to offer the game in Europe and also in Australia and New Zealand. We work together with our partners and the local authorities to set up the indexing as soon as possible.

Chance to repeal the indexing?

Germany is the only country worldwide in which Dying Light is still indexed. Whether developer Techland together with Nintendo now the Federal Center for Children s and Youth Media Protection can now be opened, is open. Apparently, however, an attempt is made in the direction.

The Dying Light Experience It is also questionable whether an exit control for the eShops abroad can be taken: In the case, the Platinum version of Dying Light would appear everywhere else in the eShop, but remain indexed in Germany.

The Platinum version of Dying Light has been available since 19 October 2021 in the Nintendo eShop - at least in the US and Asia. So far, this version has not been tested in Germany, which is why the retail version can currently be bought by adults.

No, it was of course still not all right again at the VfL Wolfsburg in the game against Fürth, the threesome after previously eleven victorious games in a piece but at least for a temporary salvation. "Three points were the most important," says Trainer Florian Kohfeldt, who sewishly instructed the performance of his team: "A decent offensive performance with four goals, which we partially enforced. No really good defensive performance, too little baller conversions, a piece of far too little intensity against the ball. That must be better in Frankfurt. " Kohfeldt: "It is fought around the places" "I can only encourage every player to impose" Eintracht with Kohfeldts pre-predecessor Oliver Glasner ("One can only pull the hat in front of what he has reached here last year") is undoubtedly another degree knife for the VfL, which in all the criticism of the defensive behavior of the team's view the offensive is directed.
