Factorio Forums

Steam users in Germany are unable to see/download/play the Factorio Demo.

This is most likely related to Germany's Age Rating requirements and Steam store listing requirements.
Steam's announcement about the German Age-Rating requirements and the Steam Survey that Wube will need to submit to avoid these blocks for German players:

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steam ... 6768588864

Take action before November 15th (2024)
We will stop showing games that do not have an age rating to German customers within the Steam Store on November 15th. Please check the link below to see if this affects you and, if necessary, take action.

The main game does not have this problem, only the Demo on Steam has the issue. Thanks.

Hi,

This should be fixed (as soon as the changes propogate through Steams side)

Thanks for the report

Appreciate the efforts, Klonan. Unfortunately, the demo is still not showing up (in Steam) for German players according to the Steam thread:

I can confirm that the app page is not accessible from Germany: https://store.steampowered.com/app/452280.

Okay did some more things, lets see what Steam does

It's available now.

Confirmed by user on Steam forums (who initially posted about this problem). The demo is available for German players on the Steam store page. This can be closed out as fixed. Appreciate it!
