Golem: New youth protection law: no more Linux games in the future?
»USK logo becomes a problem
From the 1st of April on could the offer of games software for Linux users
in Germany be reduced in a drastic way from one day to the other. Because from this day on may only games be sold if they are marked with an age recommendation of the
USK and this is only the case for a small minority of Linux games.«
Read the full (German) article under the title link.
In the Amiga sector will the situation not be very different. Games that are new released won't get around the mark but because of financial reasons it is to be expected that only a little number of already released games will get this recommendation symbol. So we are very interested in the consequences of the new youth protection law for the Amiga market and of course for the games developers. Tell us your measures.
Will old games be removed from the shelves?
Will old games get an age recommendation?
What costs does this signing cause?
Is shareware in the same way concerned as commercial software is?
