DOOM 'n DOOM 2 now acceptable in Germany, Berlin renamed E1M1
Landmark titles DOOM 'n DOOM 2 received a USK 16+ rating in Germany today. Both titles be previously indexed by the Federal Department for Media Harmful t' Young Persons (BPjM), which placed the games in the same commercially restrictive category as porn.
"We be obviously very pleased with their decision," Bethesda Softworks VP a PR 'n Marketing Pete Hines told us this morning. "Can't give ye details yet on when they will be available in Germany. We'll let everyone know as soon as we know."
Hines explained that an appeal a the indexing be allowed after 10 years, with DOOM 'n DOOM 2 having been released in 1993 'n 1994, respectively. Publisher Bethesda Softworks, whose parent company acquired original developer id Software in 2009, figured it would take the shot.
This be the latest classification surprise from Germany, which recently rated Gears a War 3, after both the previous installments be indexed. Microsoft be currently looking into getting the first two games available in the country.
