What is the advantage of opening a shop in Germany? Is it worth it to brave certain German Censorship and backlash?

You're welcome. Now go drive to Berlin, and ask Angela Mackerel to drag Germany into the modern times.
On the other hand, considering what party she's associated with, that may be a fruitless effort.

In other words, Germany's lack of freedom of speech and freedom of expression strikes again. Also, while they worry so much about "neo-Nazis" and such, German politicians and bureaucrats say and do nothing about pro-communist bastards like the ones who had no problem with Soviet troops committing one of the worst mass rapes in the history of humanity in 1945 in Berlin and they also say and do nothing about radical Islamists and their sympathizers.
I would love for there to be an active blackmarket of blacklisted video games in Germany just to stick it to such politicians and Chancellor Angie. I know that is not really her last name but I call her that cause of her first.

And in this case it is the usual racism against Germans that I expected not to see on GOG.

Really? What was posted by you and Protoss on this situation says otherwise.
Regardless, you've been boring, but meh I've got nothing better to do really. Have a nice day.
Well I've always seen it labeled as restriction after sale, that's in my 18+ years of gaming. That's what DRM has always been. Only more recently in this digital age have I've seen the definition be warped into whatever people want to make it.
Idealy only people who have yet to pay will feel the effects of DRM, and people who paid will not see or feel DRM at all. Now that this thing evolve into affecting honest customer that pay for the software is bad enough, to be widely recognized as something that come into effect AFTER PURCHASE is worst.
DRM is Digital Rights Management, it manages your rights to digital goods, it can be done in a good or bad way. GoG has DRM in the sense that you need to pay to access some digital goods. After you pay you are not restricted to download / use the digital software you pay for, before you pay you are restricted in your ability to download your games.
But now its meaning evolve into screwing you after you pay for something...... that is disheartening, but I guess the term destructive DRM is longer and harder to stick with the public.

Well I think it's the only weekend sale your going to get. I also have no idea what "Herlich Willkommen" is... :P
I regret not going past year 3 in high school German class now.
If you like the German language because it sounds like slow death metal to the foreign ear, try modern hunnish.

There is no need for a black market for most video games as you can buy them legally in other lands.
If you still want Wolfenstein in all its glory, you are out of luck because stupid swastikas. I personally dislike that because the nazis stole it and it's high time to steal it back.
Please don't drag politcal crap like comparisons between nazis, stalinesque communists and people who dammit can't read their Quaran into this. We have active discussions here about this crap all day long and nobody is jailed about it. And thanks mentioning Angie - any erotic thoughts this weekend were culled instantly.
