Nvm I thought it went out in 2008.

#22

I don’t know… there are some rumors that only the orangboxes are affected which were bought in 2007 till first half of 2008…
you’ll see…

#23

I feel sorry for you Germans, just like WaW Nazi Zombies, you buy the game thinking ‘oh cool lets do this’ and you find out you cannot join others because your game doesn’t have it.

And I thought my government was a complete failure.

Hey dudes… I have a question:
I want to buy the UK import version (UnCut) of the orange box… so…
When I install this version, what happens with my games/account?

  • Will I get the games twice… so I have HL2 & Co. 2x in my games list?

  • Will I get the games and this version replaces my Cutted version?

  • Or will I get the games, I install it and nothing will happen?

I need an advice… :wink:

#25

Yes, you will have several copies of your games, and you will be able to gift them to friends.

#26

And the games I have then in my list are the UnCut ones and the gifts the cutted?

#27

It depends on wich games you gift.

Here’s what the Steam support says:

In Austria I had no problem. I wrote an email to steam-support, saying that I live in Austria and bought my Orange Bawcks in Austria.
A day later I got the email that everything should be uncencored now - and it was!

#30

Na das wollte ich hören :smiley:

I have bought my cutted version via amazon… so its not bought via steam…
then I have still this conversion rights? :’(

its evil… my bro got a uncut key via amazon and now he has all OB games in uncut on a german account… but me…[/SIZE] > :frowning: I have the s**t[/SIZE]

As far as I am aware, HL2 and Episode 1 are the only games where duplicates can be gifted. I don’t think anything will happen with the other duplicates at all, and I doubt this will make any difference to your censorship issues.

#32

It won’t - as I said earlier, the censorship is handled by steam itself. Doesn’t have anything to do with the DVD/download.

#33

That’s what I thought.

#34

ok dudes…
UK version on the way and when I have it I send the key to VALVe and ask for a un-censoring and key replacement

#35

Oh, at times like this, I love living in the Netherlands…

#36

God bless America for gibs and gore. :stuck_out_tongue:

#37

I bought a retail copy with both Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode 1 in Germany. But still lived in France. So I went back and unlocked it through Steam there. I got the uncensored version. Then I bought the Orange Box through Steam in France. I naturally got it uncensored. Now I’m living in Germany and I still have all my Games uncensored.

It really depends on where you actually unlock it.

#38

Since both myself and Nosehole have just warned you that it probably won’t make any difference, good luck, but if it doesn’t make any difference don’t you dare moan about it here.

#39

any game which you buy from UK or any other country without these censorships we have will be uncut on your german account.
The only game for steam which you’ll never get uncut is saints Row 2

I bought my orange bawcks in Austria - there shouldn’t have been any cencorship.
Steam was set to english ( as always ).
As I mentioned earlier, only emailing the steam support decensored the game for me.
