Synergy no longer available in Germany due to new rules, could you fix it?

Could you make the mod available in Germany again? It's currently unavailable because it's now required for every game to have a rating on Steam to work here.

https://partner.steamgames.com/healthcheck/missingratingforgermany/ it's this page on Steamworks and then filling out a short content survey so it gets an automatic rating on Steam and we can access it again

This is ridiculous. I thought Germany got better with the crazy video game rating requirements...

This time it's NOT about banned ingame content though.
Germany has a new law that makes Steam age ratings on store pages mandatory after November 15th - no matter what type of game or mod it is.

To fix this, devs/publishers only need to fill out Steam's age rating survey in the store backend (which apparently only takes 2-3 minutes) and the game will be relisted in Germany.

Unfortunately no, just like all games that only have a 'sex' tag are banned. In Germany, it is not checked, but everything is radically excluded

So it's like a lack of an age rating is the same as there being hateful imagery before Germany saw that videogames can be a form of art... Wolfenstein had such things, and IRL the symbol was used during a dictator's time there.

Absolutely, and without the awesome SteamDB project it would've been way harder/almost impossible to even get a complete list of what was blocked. Some people made a Steam group to organize messaging all the devs/publishers about this stupid new requirement and to track relisting progress.
It's a big mess.

We have submitted a Content Survey. Not sure how long it typically takes for it to get processed, but if approved, Synergy will be available in Germany again soon!
