Sleeping Dogs Definitive Unplayable in Germany

SLeeping Dogs Definitive

Sleeping Dogs is getting an improved release on new gen consoles and PC. Sleeping Dogs Definitive contains improved graphics and all previously released DLC. In Germany, however, this is all completely useless, as the game isn’t actually able to start.

Firstly, Sleeping Dogs is banned in Germany, so it’s actually impossible to purchase it in the country. Through the use of VPNs or gifting it’s possible to add it to your games list, and that’s how thousands of German PC gamers bought and played the title first time around. That’s changed for the Definitive Edition, however, which can’t even be launched.

One fan complained about the issue, but wasn’t happy with the answer they were given.

In all fairness to whoever controls the Sleeping Dogs Twitter account, the conversation didn’t end there.

Either way, if you’re from Germany and want to play Sleeping Dogs: Definitive, it might be best to hold off on purchasing until this issue is resolved.
