… unless the customer is over 18, right? The age where an age rating doesn’t fucking matter?

This is the same shit as Australia “refusing classification.” Oh cool, guess it’ll default to the highest bar to entry, oh no wait the whole thing was just an excuse to censor fictional people taking imaginary drugs.

Is there a list (ideally sorted by rating) with affected games?

Considering a lot of games on steam don’t have a rating at all, it’s probably going to affect damn near everything but AAA games, honestly

No it fortunatly doesn’t. The games don’t need an USK (official german) rating. Steam seems to have it’s own rating system which seems to be enough

Why only Germany? Adult games on Steam are pretty much porn.

All adult games on Steam are banned already in Germany + those on The Index.

Because no one else is requiring some shitty rating system?

Older titles should be restricted to +18 by default, at least they would stay purchasable.

Don’t know if they can legally pretend it has a rating though

You are probably right but there has to be some kind of path forward baked into the regulations.

It will be a bit of a farce if retro gaming becomes illegal because no one submits the paperwork for 8-bit consoles.
