So then what about Sony and Microsoft and others? Do they do the same rules?

They aren't headquartered in Germany.  That's the problem.    However, they do still have similar restrictions for their German customers.

OK, so do it in Germany alone and get servers elsewhere in the EU that don't have that restriction.

It's not a matter of where your servers are located but under what country your company is registered.

They'd have to open a whole new subsidiary in a different European country to bypass this problem.

This post makes no sense to me. You just stated:

1) Other companies' actions vary by the law of each nation (which is why companies not HQ'd in Germany still follow German laws for German distribution)

2) The company's actions are based purely on which nation they are HQ'd in (which is why Nintendo has to have the SAME practices across all countries isntead of adapting to each law)

 

What?
