PSN does something.  I forget what it is.  I'll see if I can track it down again.

OK,, found it.  At first PSN blocked ALL 18 rated games in Germany.  They didn't even allow demos for 16 rated titles.   The way they got around it is by restricting sales to their PS+ users which require a PSN Wallet which proves your age.

 

I do know that EA Origin is blocked to the same time period that Nintendo is for 18 rated games.    So this is not just a Nintendo thing.

it should be that way, but i can remember when psn+ members in eu got infamous as game, while germans didnt get it (usk 18).

the whole first year i didnt get any usk18 title as psn+ member, so i canceled it :(

Are usk18 ratings frequent? (because virtually every "mature" game is PEGI 18 now)
