Justice is done - after nearly two decades, residents of Germany finally be free to buy Doom and Doom 2, unless, of course, these games they are still interested. Recall that the classic shooter id Software, published in 1993 and 1994, respectively, immediately after its release in Germany have come under close scrutiny of a special government commission, which regulates including distribution of pornography. Thus, Doom and Doom 2 have virtually disappeared from the free sale. However, Bethesda, which in 2009 bought the id Software together with the brand Doom, exercised its right and successfully appealed the decision of officials. As a result, now Doom and Doom 2 in Germany is perfectly legal to buy anyone who is already 16 years old. Vice-president of Bethesda Pete Hines said the company is very pleased with the positive outcome of the case. However, publishers can not yet tell anything specific about when and in what form the Doom and Doom 2 will be reissued in Germany. It is worth noting that German officials have always been known for extremely strict attitude towards video games. Developers often had to thoroughly remake versions of their games for the German market, replacing the people in zombies and blood - to obscure the substance of the green. Recently, however, German authorities have softened their stance somewhat. Pardon Doom and Doom 2 - only one example of. In addition, not so long ago, officials allowed to sell the country`s version of Gears of War 3, do not pass the censorship, while the previous two parts of the show once in the same way were equated with pornography and taken out of free sale
