http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_gaming_in_Germany#The_USK_and_censorshipI'm not talking about those restrictions, I'mtalking about violent video games and blood displayed in games. This issue might have been "fixed" but in the past, they would replace humans with aliens or zombies(carmaggedon) so as to not portray violence against humans. Again, this might not be an issue anymore, I'm not up to date on that one.
TL;DR: If your game doesn't get approved by the USK, you're put on the naughty list.Wikipedia said:Violence in video games is a controversial subject in Germany, and German localisations of violent games are often heavily cut by the publishers to permit a public release. Usually this entails a simple removal or reduction of depictions of blood and gore, but sometimes extends to cuts in the content or plot of the game, as was the case in games such as Counter-Strike and Grand Theft Auto.
All games that are released to the public are required to carry a certificate given by the USK (Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle - Voluntary Monitoring Organisation of Entertainment Software). If the USK refuses certification of a title, it may be, and often is, placed upon the index. The compulsory nature of the USK label was a consequence of the 2003 modification of the Jugendschutzgesetz.
The 2003 changes to the Jugendschutzgesetz also announced an intent to extend the restrictions on the depiction of violence in video gaming, leaving open the possibility of banning any depiction of violence in video gaming, which was met by widespread outcry from the video gaming community in Germany. The then in power CDU/SPD coalition government announced an intention to enact this in 2005, but in November 2006 it was announced that such restrictions would not be enacted at this time.
The (likely incomplete) naughty list naughty kids are not supposed to know about.
