I really wonder how long it takes you to make a decision what KF will look like for german players in the end?

It's hardly Tripwire's fault that the German Government requires bespoke cut versions of games, which requires extra paperwork, bureaucracy and extra dev time.

Complain to the government. Not Tripwire.

Tripwire doesn't have to censor the game. They choose to.

Tell that to potential German customers who don't get squat if Tripwire doesn't mean Germany's individual decency standards.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

Other developers took their chances by not censoring anything and their games were not put on the index, e.g. Resident Evil 5, Dead Space, Jericho. Those games are all very gory, so of course they are 18+ but that's fine and dandy to me.

Oh and guess what, games that are censored in Germany like Left 4 Dead or Red Orchestra? They are 18+ too. Censored or not, Killing Floor will end up 18+. Tripwire might just release the game as is.

What worries me is this, now that Tripwire started negotiating with the USK, the USK might ask them to censor not only gore but features like the chainsaw or ZED time.

They've already said like 6 times. Look. :p
I looked and looked but didn't find any official announcement or something. So if you know it couldn't you just post what you know instead of that what you actually posted ;)?

I'm not complaining I'm asking.

And if it's censored will it work if I get it as a gift or is there any IP tracking?

But of course, Tripwire have never released a game before, have they? They do know what they're doing. So chill out.
