No further list entries are known since then, although some titles have since been removed from the list. Video games that have been confiscated by a court in Germany may no longer be sold, even to adults (however, private possession and use are still permitted).

These lists are contained as an encrypted database in online search engines or optionally in routers or youth protection filters. Although inclusion in Liste B did not yet mean a ban, some titles were later confiscated by a court, so an entry on Liste B was often seen as a warning not to continue distributing the game in Germany (even if an entry in the Liste B is not a prerequisite for confiscation), although some games were moved to Liste A after a re-examination. Video games that have been rejected by the <a href="/wiki/Unterhaltungssoftware_Selbstkontrolle" title="Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle">Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle</a> are not banned.
