Forums - Gaming - Shame on Germany, Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors gets banned

http://nisamerica.com/blog/criminal-girls-2-ratings-and-availability-update

 

CRIMINAL GIRLS 2 WILL ONLY CARRY ESRB AND PEGI RATINGS

Today we are disappointed to announce that the Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK), Germany’s video game ratings board, has refused to provide a rating for Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors. This is an unfortunate blow to the game, and for fans of the series, and means that the title will not be advertised or sold at retail in Germany.
 
We have filed an official objection requesting a rating for the game, but the USK has stood firm in their refusal citing the potential for the game to qualify as “content severely harmful to minors” which could violate certain clauses of the German penal law. German Penal Law dictates that a game cannot be rated if the panel of experts suspects that the content would fall within the purview of these laws. (More information from Germany’s Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Minors
 
We will still be releasing Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors in other regions for Europe carrying a PEGI 16 rating on September 23, and in North America with an M rating on September 20. There will be no release of Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors in Australia or with an OFLC rating. For more information about the game, please visit our official game website, www.CriminalGirls2.com.
 
For more information about the USK or their ruling, please visit www.usk.de or contact them directly at kontakt@usk.de.

Sucks for Germany, sucks for Australia too.



Quite lame. Especially considering the game has already been compromised by censorship.

Is this waifu simulator? :o



Who cares? It's a game that appeals to mastubatory enthusiasts who like little anime girls. Not exactly a type of person common in Germany. But if anyone really needs this game, it's most likely legal in France.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

It's actually a pretty good 2D fighting franchise. It'll stay here with my shame.

EDIT: I was thinking about Skull Girls

Still don't have Skullgirls? Describing... :P

Lol, that was absolutely savage.

But yeah, the game was already censored and yet it's not enough for Germany to allow it in stores. Interestingly, PQube hasn't had much difficulties releasing its games uncensored.



They are afraid they may offend their growing refugee population
