![]() ![]() ![]() While players in Australia have been able to enjoy an uncensored Left 4 Dead 2 since the country classified the game in 2014, German players had no recourse, apart from importing Left 4 Dead 2 or purchasing it behind a VPN, until now. Its video game ratings board, the Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK), has throughout the years refused classification for several major releases, prompting studios to develop similarly censored versions of games like Mortal Kombat, Grand Theft Auto, and Wolfenstein. Germany is particularly strict when it comes to violence and, for obvious reasons, references to Nazis in video games. This effectively banned Left 4 Dead 2 from being sold in those countries before Valve released censored versions that, among other things, changed the colour of the blood and removed dismemberment. When Left 4 Dead 2 launched in 2009, video game ratings boards in Germany and Australia refused to classify the game due to its depictions of violence and gore.
