For some reason I can't view the Commandos-Product page. Why?

It's not sold in Germany.

Well of course not. You're not supposed to see them coming. They're Commandos.

That was bad. :P

@Breja Good one XD

tinyE that's stupid

Germans also aren't allowed to access Wolfenstein 3D, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Quake 2, Quake 3 Arena, Timeshift, Singularity, Gun or any of the games listed here.

It's not my rule. Blame Germany.

gog hat seine prinzipien verraten stück für stück seit april 2014. deswegen ist commandos und andere titel für deutsche nutzer geblockt. ich würde empfehlen, nur noch sehr selten hier irgendwas zu kaufen.

It's regionally blocked thanks to German law. Something to do with violence or Nazis, no doubt.

Also, when you reply to somebody, hover over their post and click the "reply" button rather than just making a new post. Otherwise, they might not realize you replied to them.


Edit: Ninja'd on the German law thing....I think.

If you mean Apehaters post, that was more some kind of rant. :-)

Upon its original release, Commandos was confiscated by court order under §86 of the German penal code, which refers to the distribution of anti-constitutional propaganda symbols, meaning swastikas and related iconography like the SS rune.
Basically, it was more or less just yanked because of the precendence set by the banning of Wolfenstein 3D in the early 90s, a decision which most lawyers today consider to be severely outdated, but companies aren't willing to go to court to have those rulings reversed.

Note that games with swastikas and such in them are not automatically banned. Even the international version of Wolfenstein: The New Order seems to be unaffected by this law and could- theoretically- be distributed in Germany.

It's all we ever do around here.

No.

Sometimes I blame Dixie.

I meant in Poland :P

No, Galaxy and Steam as well ;)
