A recent change from Steam will see some games on the online marketplace becoming unavailable in Germany, in cooperation with a German law regarding age ratings. The massively popular online platform developed by Valve has long been one of gaming's most well-known marketplaces, with a library sporting tens of thousands of games. Steam is one of gaming's most widely accessible platforms throughout the world, with most countries having access to the marketplace. However, one country's Steam store is set to see some major changes in the near future.
While Steam's popularity has opened up the platform to a wide variety of users, the storefront also boasts a significant diversity in its games. While users can easily purchase games meant for children, like Freddy Fish and the Putt-Putt games, the platform also hosts a wide array of games geared towards adult audiences as well. Though many games coming to the platform do receive ratings by proper ratings boards like the ESRB and PEGI, Steam does not feature a hard requirement for developers to have their games rated. Now, Steam is adjusting its policy on unrated games in the German market.
Steam users are pointing out problems with the way...
