Why can't the german government just be happy with their most famous game developed there GOLLUM by Daedelic studio? Why do they need more?

[-] sirjash@feddit.de 11 points 6 months ago

Silly me, thinking that Crysis was the most famous German game.

In defense of this game

Their music's are very very solids and now underated because no one plyaed the game (and I didn't too but go listen to them, great DND ambiance Cool link)

The German government wants... Yeah and their bullshit censoring of games.

[-] leave_it_blank@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

To be fair, it has gotten a lot better. Games rarely get censored anymore. Dying Light 2 comes to mind. The Index also has become rare, also the complete confiscation.

But yes, I'm with you, the authorities have to go, the European classification should be enough!

I'll forever be salty about Carmageddon having zombies with green blood.

[-] leave_it_blank@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

And please never forget the Multiverse of Soldier of Fortune 2, with their alternate timeline of Robot Humans. That was for me the most rediculous thing in my gaming career!

I mean there's been a bunch of small games developed by German game studios but it's not like it's easy around here

You mean the studio that just at the beginning of this year died because of budget cuts of a big Corp? Not that I want to defend Elex2

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 4 points 6 months ago

It's not like Belgium does anything special either for the games industry. Their success is just due to hard work and good management by a studio that's taking the long term view and it's passionate about the work.

Just for context, you can't actually apply anymore and it's been like that for about a year. And that's not the first time period for which aplications are blocked.

In addition, both founding a start-up and actually applying is a lot of bureaucracy. You've probably run dry of money long before it's approved.

Lastly, I believe they mostly fund mobile games.

Short story time. In USA, over 25 years ago, a Russian immigrant used to give me rides down the peninsula to work in the early hours. I wondered at his ability to survive and provide for a family in our high cost of living area. He told me that applying for government and nongovernmental aid and so on was easy for him because he was used to the much worse Soviet bureaucracy.

Not only this, they cut the budget starting 2025 by a lot and only productions with >400k on their own will be qualified to apply for a state funding. Cause that will be a good reason for each state (Bundesland) to rise their funding (Berlin has some millions and Hessen 260k/year funding budget). Or at least that was one of the arguments to cut the state budget.

[-] De_Narm@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Don't get me started on state funding, there is none at my location.

[-] Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 11 points 6 months ago

If they start saying this about The Witcher or Cyberpunk, we should get really worried.

[-] Nath@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago

They have Egosoft and their X universe games. Epic sandbox galactic games. I love my X3 empires.

[-] dukatos@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

Sorry, too much censorship in Germany...
