Codemasters Standing by Jericho in Face of German Ban
Foll owing word that the USK, Germany’s ratings board, has denied to rate Clive Barker’s Jericho, effectively banning it in the country, Codemasters has officially told that they are standing by their game and not modifying any of its content to get USK’s classification.
“Following a review by the USK ratings board, which declined to give an official rating, Codemasters has decided not to change the artistic vision of the renowned author and filmmaker Clive Barker though cuts and extensive changes,” announced the publisher through a press note. “[We] respect Mr Barker?s creative ideas, despite the German distribution and marketing consequences for the title.”
The company will not be able to sell or advertise the game in the country for PS3 and Xbox 360. However, they will still be selling the unrated PC version starting October 26 when it’s released for “adult gamers and Clive Barker fans.”
