“We’re giving old and new fans a lot of reasons to pick up the game, as we’ve gone beyond just increasing resolution and running at 1080p.” “It was an exciting opportunity for the original development team to be able to revisit a game we’re so passionate about,” said Dan Sochan. You’ll get the main Sleeping Dogs game with all previously released DLC, including the additional Year of the Snake story episode and horror-themed Nightmare in North Point EP. Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition will be launched for Xbox One, PS4 and PC with the game graphically enhanced to full 1080p HD. Previously leaked by a prematurely published Amazon listing, Square Enix has officially announced the remastered version will arrive in October. The response from that thread is the exact same response that DanKraut posted in the OP, only in English, not German.Square Enix has confirmed Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition will arrive on October 10 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. We’re very sorry to have to disappoint you, and we completely understand your frustration – if the situation changes, we will of course let you know. Under German law it’s a criminal offence for Square Enix to distribute the game in any form, plus we must also take reasonable measures to prevent the distribution or import of the game, anywhere in Germany. The game is currently indexed to List B in that country. As a result we’re unable to distribute the game in Germany at all. Unfortunately, doing the same thing for the Definitive Edition wasn't feasible. Thanks a lot for your comments and feedback regarding the release of Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition in Germany.Īs you’re probably aware, we were only able to release the original Sleeping Dogs game in Germany back in 2012 by creating a special low-violence edition to comply with German law. Originally posted by Inexorabilis:Hi everyone - Sleeping Dogs Community Manager here, *With geolock I mean the "prohibitrunincountries" tag. Square Enix could remove the geolock for the retail version and keep it for the digital one which is possible in Steam and was done by other publishers. You may understand that many german Steamusers are very upset about Square Enix. The game could be legally sold in Germany all the time as retail version only digital distribution was forbidden because of List B which is also now invalid.īut we haven't heard from them until now on the new situation and if something is changing or if they now have another argument for the lock. I suggested that they try to get the game changed from List B to A what they did and what happened so their argument for the geolock is now invalid. When the thread you linked was opened the game was indexed List B (the CM also said this in your quote). , the situation has changed as you can read above. Originally posted by SpawnCap:Wasn't this already discussed and they gave an answer on this post? This thread is also linked in the forUncut Group so if you don't respond or delete it over 80k people see it. So the main question is why are you constantly ignoring the german Steamusers you are not idle because you are still responding here in this forum but you haven't said a single sentence regarding this! Your argument was that the "prohibitrunincountries" tag was set because the game was indexed on list B which is nonsense as everyone knows and we already proofed this but because you followed my suggestion the game was changed from index list B to A.īecause you game is now on List A you can even sell it as Telemedium (digital version) (in a closed usergroup) and of course it can be sold in every store in Germany as Trägermedium (disc version) which was also possible before when it was indexed List B. Da das Spiel auf Listenteil B der Liste der jugendgefährdenden Medien geführt wird, ist es Square Enix verboten, dass Spiel in irgendeiner Form zu verbreiten - außerdem sind wir verpflichtet, angemessene Maßnahmen zu ergreifen, um die Verbreitung und den Import nach Deutschland zu unterbinden.Įs tut uns leid, dass wir in diesem Fall unsere deutschen Kunden enttäuschen müssen und haben vollstes Verständnis für etwaige Frustration - falls die Situation sich ändern sollte, werden wir dies natürlich bekannt geben. Leider war das Anfertigen einer entsprechenden Version für die Definitive Edition nicht realisierbar, aus diesem Grund können wir das Spiel nicht in Deutschland vertreiben. Wie den meisten bekannt ist, konnten wir aufgrund deutscher Rechtsprechung das ursprüngliche Sleeping Dogs im Jahr 2012 nur als gewaltgeminderte Fassung veröffentlichen. Wir danken für die Kommentare und das Feedback bezüglich der Veröffentlichung von Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition in Deutschland. This is Square Enix official response why they implemented the geolock "prohibitrunincountries" for Germany.
