Zombie paradise action game Dead Island may have been out since early September, but itâs only now that the Germans at the wonderfully-named Federal Department of Media Harmful to Young Persons have got around to banning it.
âThis isnât unexpected,â Techland, the developers of the game, told Eurogamer. âGermany has its unique regulations regarding video games and violence and the industry can only comply.
âBoth Deep Silver and Techland were aware of such a possibility from the very beginning.â
The game has been put on the organisationâs âList Bâ, which is normally where you find games featuring âextreme torture or Nazi contentâ.
The exact reasons for the gameâs belated banning have not been made publicly available, so Iâm just going to assume itâs for the worst intro song ever forced upon mankind
