Germany Unbans Quake |
Listed in: News Tags: banned, banning, censorship, Germany, id Software, Quake, youth media council
The classic id software game Quake has finally become available to play in Germany for the first time in almost a decade and a half. The amazing FPS was developed sometime between Theme Hospital and Half Life 1 and Germany thought it was a good idea to protect the entire country from it's frightening blocky embrace by banning it outright.
The decision came after August when the other famous id software shooters, Doom and Doom 2 were released from the Kraken-like prison of being apart of Germany's large selection of banned games. Whilst the game was a bit of tech wizardry back in 1996, the 3D engine was fantastically rendered and actually helped shape the way we play games today, as the original Team Fortress mod was on the Quake Engine.
According to Heise Online game publishers can request that their games be removed after a minimum of ten years from the Youth Media Endangerment list. Recently added to that list was the 2011 release of Dead Island, so Germans will probably see that come out in what, 2021? It's not worth it, Germans, not heaps anyway.
Other than possibly games like RapeLay, I feel that banning media unless it's particularly harmful is wrong and ridiculous in this age of internet. If people want something, they're gonna find any way or means to get it. I wonder how many German people have played Quake.
I remember a great friend of mine telling me when he went to an internet café in Germany and he was asked for ID after slamming down some Euros. He laughed so hard at first until he saw how serious the guy behind the counter was.

"Large selection"? There are not even 20 of them. Doom and Quake were never part of that list.
If your writing about another country then maybe you should actually figure out how the system works before writing nonsense.

Apart from this having absolutely nothing to do with this news other than agitation:
I remember a great 20 year old friend of mine telling me when he tried to buy a beer/buy cigarets/rent a car in the USA and he was asked for ID after slamming down some Dollars, he laughed so hard initially then he saw how serious the guy behind the counter was and slipped away.
