but Postal 2? Seriously??

The Postal series was one of the first to be targeted for censorship, and considering GOG is Good OLD Games, it makes sense to include it in a bundle responding to censorship.

“Shortly after the game’s release, Postal would become the target of US Senator Joe Lieberman, who previously played a significant role in creating the ESRB. While he’s overall supportive of the ESRB and ratings practices assigned to video games nowadays, the volatile content of Postal certainly set him off, describing it, Marilyn Manson, and Calvin Kline underwear ads as the “three worst things in American society.” While Vince Desi admittedly appreciated any news coverage of their games, Lieberman would strike a chord with RWS, with Postal 2 featuring an entire difficulty mode named after him. Dubbed “Liebermode,” it’s the easiest difficulty setting, significantly modifying health values, enemy hostility, and more.”
