I tried everything and talked to people with German/English versions. Nothing works.
You can have someone with an English IP gift you the game
I already thought about that. And I would ofcourse do it. But why should I buy the game two times? What would happen with the old account? Just a "Ghost Account"? I hate the feeling of owning something that is not being used and just "exists".
(And I would also double-support Tripwire for releasing the p.o.s German version.)
Well if you haven't had the game for long, talk to Valve. Tell them you're unsatisfied with the game due to it being censored and see if you can get a refund from them. If you get a refund, you won't have to get a new account, just use the one you have now. Then have someone with an English IP gift you the game after you get a refund and it the censored version is removed from your account.
...release Killing Floor in Germany? I admire everyone who doenst even think about a German release of his game. There are still developers who don't want their games to get ****ty by censorship. Don't you know the main objective in this game is shooting zombies? And how funny is that when the game is fully censored? You don't even know if you did a headshot or not...And things like that are quite important in KF.
As a member of the old community and a long-time player of KF...I have to guess you're only about the profit. Everything was fine BEFORE it went retail (in Germany). And yes, I was stupid enough to buy a German version, because my mates one was cut in German and uncut in English. Later I read the mentioned statement.
Don't you think German players hate their own laws and how they cut the **** out of games? Everytime a game studio acts like "**** this crap, I'm not gonna release in Germany", we're happy and import it from another country.
By censoring Killing Floor like that, you destroyed it. The German version is not playable if you're used to the other versions. It's not only the fault of the German people that the laws don't change. It's also people like YOU, thinking "Let's cut everything out - 1 or 2 idiots in Germany are going to buy it anyways."
he does have a point, why cut the gore on the game for a portion of the players just to sell the game on the shelf if the game ONLY plays on steam which allows you to buy the game digitally?..why make that crowd even smaller by cutting it for Germany just so it could be sold in stores? PC gamers dont need to go to a store when we have Steam...

They released the game in Germany so people can play the game. Its not their fault its being censored so dont blame them for it.

Even bigger question - why does KF have advertisements but RO:OST/RO:HOS will never have ads?
Zombie games - easy money. but at least its for a good cause - if KF is going to be exploited for as much money as possible, at least its for a great game like RO:HOS
