Looks like our friends in Germany aren't going to be able to purchase Gal☆Gun 2. PQube, the planned publisher for the game in Germany, has put out a statement saying the game was refused classification.
Today we have received word that Gal*Gun 2 has been refused classification in Germany.
We’ll always try to get games through classification regardless of the possibility of it being denied, as we feel that everyone should have the right and the access to play the games they want to play. It is our opinion that disliking the content in a piece of entertainment or art, and voicing that dislike, is totally fine and even encouraged, but denying that work the right to exist in a market based on personal opinions and prejudices, is something we strongly disagree with.
Unfortunately our appeal against this decision has been unsuccessful. Given that Gal*Gun: Double Peace did receive classification in Germany, we’re doubly disappointed that we cannot bring the highly-anticipated title to our fans in Germany. However, we will have to accept and respect the decision of the USK.
It is a bit strange that Gal☆Gun: Double Peace was approved for release, but the sequel has been refused. It seems like this is an open-and-shut case though, so Germany is going to have to go without.
