Tripwire, why did you...

That, or import a retail version from outside of Germany.
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.
And from now on, instead of buying games yourself you fear might be censored, have a friend and an English IP gift it, so you won't have to worry about it.
I did that after playing 21 minutes. You know what? Valve Support just deleted my question! How does that sound? Well, no, I don't feel depressed about that, no, yes, no.
The problem also was that my mate, who bought it earlier, got the same "low violence version"-information, so he told me "Just buy it. Look, I got the same thing and you see mine is not censored if I put Steam on Englisch language."...
I told that to Valve, everything. That I don't want any money back or something. I just wanted the same version as my mate got, because of this misleading information.

someone on the steam forums in germany managed to turn on gore
all i can say is seek the answer there
all i can say is seek the answer there
It's easy to turn gore on for Singleplayer, but not for Multiplayer. Im also in the Steam forums. Never heard of what you say.
I recall someone saying he had to change his computer language away from German to fix it
but you say it doesnt work on multiplayer but it does work on singleplayer
is it possible that maybe the server you are joining has lowgore on?
I mean if you are in germany..and killingfloor in germany is censored..wouldnt it make sense that all germany based servers have lowgore on?
Based on the fact that a server with low graphics that cause ragdolls to disappear fast will also effect all clients, wouldnt low gore do the same?
I know servers can have these settings and im willing to bet on german servers these settings reflect lowgore settings
have you tried using the command to enable gore then hosting a server and having one of your friends in germany join?
if it works you could host gore enabled german servers
you could be the only germany server with gore enabled
and if it works word could spread and german servers could enable gore
but you say it doesnt work on multiplayer but it does work on singleplayer

So basically you're faulting Tripwire for releasing Killing Floor in Germany in order to generate revenue so they can continue to function as a (very small) company.
I'm sure they don't want their game to "get ****ty" as you so eloquently put it, but the developers who have the luxury of not releasing censored versions of their games are also much larger, much more profitable studios (such as Epic Games and Capcom).

Don't buy the game in Germany.
Purchase a title from an English gaming business or whatever, and you'll have your gore.
Or, listen to the suggestions and advice given to alter the gore levels...

The OP is right. before the German version was censored, Germans were able to buy the game digitally without any cuts, but because TWI wanted in on the retail market, they had to cut the game.
First - this is a PC game, and its obscure, its already going to have a small crowd, so 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, D2D, etc.

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?
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
...
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.
But you dont understand that ppl in Germany could buy the game on steam without censorship back before it was censored.. The censorship was done so they could sell it in German stores.

For what it's worth, I would love to play a bright, colourful reskin of KF where the monsters are all brightly coloured cutesey sprites that blip away or explode in a puff of smoke and rainbow sparkles when you kill them.
