    Damn, this might make some smaller very niche games unavailable here in germany. There are some games that already are (Fear & Hunger for example).

    Article does mention that it’s just a little steam questionaire, but if germany doesn’t like it, it won’t be available anyway (would alternatively require an USK rating I think, which to my knowledge is much harder to get, and even then it might not be guaranteed).

      Yeah, I’d prefer, if the law said that it needs to be sold only to adults. Making it completely unavailable, because no one has decided at what age kids can play it, is really non-sensical.
