I would love to buy a copy. But Valve has stopped selling adult only games in Germany to avoid implementing an age verification system. Since they have an official office in Germany they can't just claim that German law doesn't apply to them. Are you selling steam keys elsewhere? Patron tiers are sold out.

Backer builds are available to my patrons!

Shall I take that as a "no"? As far as I understand backer build don't include steam keys.

I think I misunderstood your question, then. I'm not selling Steam keys elsewhere.


However, I intend to make CoV available to buy on Itch.io in the near future, so watch out for that!

Update: the current version is now available on Itch.io!

Thanks, but as far as I can see it doesn't include a steam key.

That's correct; adult games are banned in Germany on Steam. You'll be able to play the Itch.io version, which will be updated alongside the Steam version.

Adult games aren't banned on steam, because they are legal in Germany. Valve just wants to avoid implementing an age verification system, so they stopped selling the games themself by blocking the store page. Everything else is still in place. You just have to buy the keys from a different store. Since Valve has an office in Germany they can't claim that they just have to follow the laws of the country where their EU HQ is located.

Would a VPN not work?

No, Valve is blocking VPN Services for quite a while now. You not only need a VPN but also a payment method located inside the country you are using. More importantly: Using a VPN to hide your country violates steams terms of service and can result in the deletion of your steam account. Buying keys from outside steam and activating them is perfectly fine.
