Game verder Germany: Prohibition endangers international release of horror classic

The Zombie game Dying Light has been indexed in Germany for years; So it must not be advertised and only sold on demand to majority. The ban is now on bizarre the new Platinum version of the game in the Nintendo eShop: During the strict German law, Dying Light can nowhere in Europe, England, Australia and New Zealand can be bought.

The Platinum version of Dying Light has appeared in the Nintendo eShop, but not in Germany - and not in many other countries. The reason for this is quite absurd: Since the zombies game Dying Light is indexed in Germany and the seat of Nintendo of Europe is here with us, the new Platinum version of the horror classic can not be offered in many eShops. Affected is Europe, but also England, Australia and New Zealand.

Dying Light was indexed in Germany 2015 on List A. Accordingly, it must not be advertised and only sold on demand for adults. Related to this is an offer of the digital version of the game also prohibited on Steam, in the PlayStation Store and in the Nintendo eShop. The Europe-wide eShop is affected by this prohibition; Only in the US and Asia the game is currently available.

BIS Now Dying Light 2 is not yet indexed in Germany:

Dying Light: soon no longer indexing?

After players complained of several countries, developers Techland announced on Reddit to do something against the ban:

If you speak of the digital version - the digital version is indexed in Germany due to your content and there is the European Nintendo eShop 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.

If Techland actually manages to lift the indexing of Dying Light in Germany, the game should be bought anywhere: also on Steam, in the PS Store and in the Nintendo eShop. Probably such a regulation would not only refer to the Platinum version.

But it is questionable whether the developer can change the Federal Center for Children s and Youth Media Protection in the case of Dying Light. Also possible is an exception in the case of the eShop, so that the Platinum version of Dying Light is not available in Germany. Germany is the only country worldwide in which Dying Light remains indexed today.

The Saxons had to be satisfied with a 1-1 (0: 0) in the home game against Jahn Regensburg on Saturday, but with 31 points there are hardly any more relegation rank 16. Christoph Daferner (73.) scored 1-0 for the hosts, Andreas Albers (88th), the equalization was achieved. Erzgebirge Aue can still pass Dynamo with three wins. FC Ingolstadt is determined as a relegation. However, the distance from Dynamo to SV Sandhausen in position 15 is seven points, so that Dresden must adjust to the relegation duel against the third of the 3rd division.
