Thank you again for posting, GodFeelling! ^^
I was missing 3 games and I can gift the remaining games.

I didn't know that activating a few games in a bundle and making giveaways with the bundle spares isn't allowed. ;-)

Man, I'd love to get it for Commandos alone, but it appears that the German version is not available on Steam. I don't get it, a friend of mine got that game from a video game magazine nearly twenty years ago, and yet I cannot buy it on Steam?

The problem is that they are set in WW2 and you fight vs nazigermany.
Thus there are swastika and other symblos of the Third Reich that are forbidden to use in germany outside of "art or science, research or teaching".
And the german cut version was never released for online-sales as far as I know (neither on steam nor on gog)
Your friend got 100% the cut version from the magazine years ago.
And thus far no gamedeveloper fought for games being art to prevent them from doing cut versions for germany alone, even though many lawyers said for years such a lawsuit would probably win nowadays (maybe in fear of being called nazi-sypathizers?)
That said..none of the Commandos games got a regionblock for key-activation...

I am aware of the root of the problem, I'm just annoyed and wanted to went my frustration because I think it's a shame since the game is great fun regardless of whether the nazi symbols remain intact or not. I'd be quite satisfied with playing the cut version. Still, thanks for explaining it. I think it's high time that the double standards regarding the depiction of symbols of the Third Reich in movies vs. video games is challenged. Although I have to admit that I personally have the feeling that the BPJM has become more sensible about their demands in recent years, so maybe they will become less strict when it comes to Nazi symbols and signal the developers that there no longer is the need to censor themselves preemptively.

The problem is that the BPJM doesn't have a say about a law.
Sure many games that would have been indexed for violence years ago now can get published and they are way more lenient about it today but that was always in their discretion, nazi-symbolism is forbidden without any room for discretion.
A publisher would have to open a lawsuit that their game (and/or games in general) should be considered art and thus would fall under the same exclusion as movies).
And even though For uncut always tries to inform publishers about how the german law works, the publishers apparently think it's easier with the status quo and doing an extra cut version for germany instead of trying it with a lawsuit that would solve the problem forever...

I see, I thought we were already one step ahead and the main problem were timid publishers.

More or less we probably are just one step away (a lawsuit) and the problem is timid publishers.
Because relying on the government to change the law without a lawsuit won't ever happen (unless they think it would give them lots of young voters) considering many of them are from another generation and some probably don't even know how a pc-game looks like or what this internet is so many talk about... :D
Also: Owning any indexed/banned games is not forbidden.

I'd give you my key if you wanna try and activate it

Much appreciated, I'd gladly accept that offer.
Edit: It worked, that shows that I have a lot to learn about the restrictions concerning games in Germany, thanks again! I always assumed that store page not available here automatically meant that one cannot activate the game here.

Many games don't have regionlocks (and most of the sellers either don't know if their games are region-locked or sometims got wrong information they give you).

Thanks for your information!
Oh, UT can be activated, that is great news to me!

Seems that their currency calculator is stuck, I'll wait till they fix it. :P
[edit] Nevermind, it was enough to vpn myself through the US and it worked fine using the same login, billing address and paypal account. Lame that they force GBP on most of the world just based on the IP... I'm not from the UK, not even close...

Hmm. Only need 3 but they are decent titles and I can think of ways to use the majority of the spares I would get ...
Gonna need to sleep on this one.
I'll probably gonna buy it ;-;
