Indexed Games

News by Gestalt Contributor

Published on 14 Jan 2000

have posted a little article called "Indexing In Germany", all about what it means, how it effects gamers, and what it's doing to the pro-gaming scene in Germany.

For those of you who don't know, computer games (and other media) can be "indexed" in Germany, meaning that it is illegal for under 18s to buy it, and you are not allowed to advertise it, or even sell it where children can get to it. By extension, this makes LAN parties and tournaments very hard to organise in Germany.
