Comment on GOG is getting acquired by its original co-founder: What it means for you
JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 week agoHow much of that (the game related stuff rather than the GOG specific things) is due to publisher/developer restrictions I wonder.
Didn’t know about most of that though. Very disappointing hearing about non-drm-free games too. That’s the main and definitely most important reason I’ve been buying things on GOG. DRM free with an offline installer.
The only one not bothering me is the porn games. As long as I can filter things with a default filter if it gets annoying, I’m not bothered buy any type of game being sold there.

They make a big deal out of saying that they hand-pick games and make sure they’re good and proper, then they take responsibility of quality problems of the games that are available.
And last I checked you cannot filter. If you do a search, sure, but not on the main page, and during times like around Valentine’s day, the website starts looking like a weird porn website. Also, they claim that they select good games, and no one is going to make me believe that those porn games are good quality games.

@Solumbran @JigglySackles there was a particularly heavy handed show off when visa and Mastercard were going after adult games on other platforms in a «but them before we're forced to delist them», but other than that I don't remember them being pushed particularly strongly

Yeah I was going to mention that incident. I see way more porn VNs on steam than on GOG.
