Good news for German gamers! Following an appeal to the German ratings board, both DOOM and DOOM II have been de-listed and now carry a “16+” rating.
While we work to make both DOOMs available widely there, we’re also set to release an entirely uncut version of id Software’s RAGE to German stores. Look for it on October 7!

That is really great to hear.
I bought Doom 1 for 360 already via proxy connection but it was a nightmare to set up. And now that I changed consoles, I can’t download it again without setting up a proxy connection again.
I’m looking forward very much to seeing these games on the German XBLA marketplace soon.
Thanks Bethesda, keep up the good work!
Please ask for Quake next!
I haven’t seen a single german localisation yet wich wasn’t an epic fail (added bugs and weird translation goofs) – so I’ve preordered my copy of rage via amazon.co.uk anyway ;D
Please make it available on Steam in Germany, too!
Wow I’m impressed you were able to get past it.
Great! Everyone should have the right to play Doom! ^^
finally! now it’s time for quake and wolf 🙂
