| Viper1 said: I think what you are not understanding is that this law is not being applied to the buyers but the seller directly. The law is not looking at who the end user is at all, only who the seller is. Thera are 2 entites in a direct transaction. A buyer and a seller. While the intent of this law is to protect the buyer, it is applied to the seller. So a kid in the UK is still buying from a German store that is subject to German law. Say a German store sold hard alcohol online. German legal age is 18. A 16 year old in Denmark (legal age there) would still not be allowed to purchase it because the German laws the store must abide by. |
while yes there is a law that you arent allowed to sell usk18 games to people under 18. (this is applied to retail stores with boxes)
idk why this is not used for digital sales here in germany, because you can get those usk18 games digitally without age verification anytime.
edit: maybe there is no law which forbids it
and no, there is no law which wont allow you to sell usk18 games digitally before 11pm
edit:
I think the companies are just careful, because they had trouble in the past which those kind of games and make their own law to protect them from the 'old german law' which doesnt exist anymore.
