Early censored Models

When Half-life was released in Germany it needed to be censored. But did you know that when valve was developing the game it was censored outside of the German build too? There were plenty more features programmed for Half-Life that were cut due to the game being censored. In this article, we’ll be covering early versions of German censorship, early features that got censored in the base game, and what type of censorship made it into the released German build.

Scientists

The scientists in some German pre-release magazines, they resemble robots with red and white coloration.
