What was the deal with violent movies again? You can only enter a rental store when you're 18+ or something?

And that doesn't count for games that are rated?

Just asking...

Not quite, there are 18+ rental stores and family rental stores. Also if you're with a parent I don't think it matters at all. Probably not 100% legal but nearly every shopkeeper will just ignore you.

The exposition of hardcore porn and non-rated games are the only issue here. Not USK/FSK18 content !

Thanks! So all in all it's  just not that big of a deal. Apart from the games that are banned/not rated ofcourse.
