 The compulsory nature of the USK label was a consequence of the 2003 modification of the "Jugendschutzgesetz," or youth protection laws.The 2003 changes to the "Jugendschutzgesetz" also announced an intent to extend the restrictions on the depiction of violence in video games, leaving open the possibility of banning any depiction of violence in video games, which was met by widespread outcry from the video game community in Germany.The then in power CDU/SPD coalition government announced an intention to enact this in 2005, but in November 2006 it was announced that such restrictions would not be enacted at this time.
