Plot twist - what Collective Shout wanted all along was to get these specific games for free (and more importantly - without official transactions to prove they’ve bought them)

I’m for this because I want those games. But let’s talk strategy. Didn’t GoG just set the market value of those games to zero? Weren’t they already hurt by the censorship? Wouldn’t it be better to just give them a fair market to sell on?
zeca@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
They probably cant do this unilaterally. Maybe gog paid for those copies and they are limited in quantity.
HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
Nice, a reason for me to log into gog

That worked. But using the freedomtobuy.games links kept giving me “something went wrong”. So ^ this link is the way to do it.
MITM0@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Whether you fellows like the games or not is not the point, the point is to get the games on principle alobe (ie; Oppose censorship)
gerowen@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Word of warning, clicking “Claim” on any of these games claims them all. I clicked claim on Postal 2 and got a warning message that I never thought to read, but now I have “Lust Theory” and other timeless classics in my GoG library.
It’s not a huge deal for me, just wanted to put this out there.
ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
My profile is private anyway so it doesn’t matter lol
MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
man i don’t even care. I claimed them all, i’m almost definitely never going to play any of these games, but i think its pretty cool what gog is doing here.

thanks for the Free Postal 2 GOG
coronach@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months ago
I tried it for an hour before I gave up. The cringe was too hard for me to get past.
Mwa@thelemmy.club 8 months ago
agreed but for me i kinda didnt like the racism things,i am not easily offended, i gave up on the game after the religious joke.

I am the gayest gay who ever was a gay. And I apparently own these things now. In solidarity with the goons! Freedom!
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I am the gayest gay who ever was a gay.
I feel like this is going to be a trivia question.
“Who was the gayest gay who ever was a gay?”
“JohnVanDenver?”
“No, I’m sorry, the answer is JimVanDeventer.”
JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Someone called out the name “Archie” and I turned around to see who wanted my attention. Call me whatever you want; it apparently doesn’t matter.

NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
Of the list, I would say Lust Theory is worth a look.
You are groundhogs daying through high school/college trying to bang every single woman in your life. Animations are… sufficient and I do kind of like that any of the more fucked up stuff is almost always followed up with “and then you were kicked so hard in the balls you died” although it would be nice if they weren’t critical path for progression. And it is pretty hilarious that the game lets you define your relationship to the various ladies you live with… but it is still pretty clearly coded for incest of some form which leads to hilarity like “It is so morally wrong that you are having sex with your Live In Janitor”… which I guess would actually be really morally wrong…
But yeah. Mostly the bundle is the bottom of the barrel. Or stuff that has been around so long it is mostly just a meme for how bad porn games are (house party).

Is Sapphire Safari… a furry porn version of pokemon snap??? I’m going to try it for shits and giggles because I adore pokemon snap. Wish me luck.
ThatGirlKylie@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Please report back your findings troopers 🫡
Enkers@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Just getting around to trying it now. Will update with further info.
Very first impressions:
Yep, its sexo pokemon snap! If you’re into furry or pokephilia, and enjoy photography, this’ll probably be a fun time. It seems like it is more anthro focused though, not that I’d be a good judge of any of this or anything. >_>;
Right off the bat, the walking animation is very janky, but otherwise it seems surprisingly polished. The tutorial is a bit info dumpy, but it’s not that overwhelming.
Just starting actual gameplay now.
JustTheWind@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Great catch! Thanks for sharing! As if I needed any more reason to respect GOG more than I already do. GOG always have been the OG GigaChads of online game merchants.

It’s still up, you have to go to a different website. As of writing this you still have 12 hours

Postal 2?
buttnugget@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Is that weird? I only copy pasted this from the article.
cannon_annon88@lemmy.today 8 months ago
I legit thought this was a joke at first. They really said here have all these porn games. Not that I ever paid for them anyways, or played them even …
raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You should: Being a DIK is a masterpiece. The erotic content is really just one aspect of a topnotch visual novel. Great story arcs. DrPinkCake absolutely knows their stuff!

if I could even download gog galaxy. there’s no download link on their webpage and neither anything on the web. But pretty cool of them
mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
I can’t even log in, because their 2FA system is overwhelmed. I’ve been waiting almost four hours for an email code to hit my inbox.
purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 8 months ago
They no longer require authy for time based codes, so I would update to use an authenticator app when you next get in.

The great thing about GOG is you don’t need the launcher, you can use a third party launcher like Heroic or just download the installers directly from the GOG website once you log in.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The link is in the webpage, but it might be bugged? It’s not visible in vanilla chrome or firefox for me (or maybe just not visible on linux).
Faresh@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
It’s not available for linux. That’s the problem.
Katana314@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I think it’s de-emphasized because part of the GOG appeal is that you don’t need a launcher and can grab direct DRM free installers. The launcher just exists for convenience.
Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I haven’t played a porn game since I was a teen in highschool. 20-odd years ago. Now I own a whole mess of the things.
oplkill@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Most of them still trash
raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Being a DIK is definitely worth playing.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 8 months ago
So, there’s this game still on Steam called Slaves of Rome that is the definition of non-consentual NSFW games, and it’s also an open-world action RPG, so the format is very accessible and also not badly done for an indie. So, it has me very confused why it was spared.

Now download them before they have GOG do age verification. The EU overwhelmingly voted to implement it on platforms that offer content not suitable for children.

Gog moment
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That’s pretty fucking cool.
blobchoice@feddit.uk 8 months ago
I have to say since this whole anti porn in games thing has happened, I’ve ironically exposed myself to more porn games.
Before I wouldn’t imagine playing the games. Ever since the itch unban, I’ve tried a few games on itch.io to see what the fuss was about and got absolutely hooked on Queens Brothel - to the point where I’ve paid for the full version on Patreon. And now I’ve got these games on my gog library.
If the Christian brothers and sisters at Collective Shout wanted less people exposed to porn games, lol. lmao even.
oplkill@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I suggest to try “monster girl quest”
Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That is how their efforts usually work out.
They are quite adept at shitting and falling back in it.
carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
FYI, clicking the “Claim now!” button under a game will still claim the whole bundle
i now own a bunch of porn games cuz i wanted to try Postal 2 -_-
nfreak@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
Same LOL, I just wanted to snag Postal 2 DRM-free. Oh well

Uhh, yeah me too. And they used my credit card to sign up for porn. Smh, GOG
ToaofTime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
Heroic also has an option to hide games.
carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
yea i just found out, but thank you still!
i wish it synced with GOG but, oh well that’ll do
PunnyName@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Strange. I redeemed the code, it shows in my purchase history, but none of the games show up on my collection. Oh well.
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It says on the post-redeem page that it can take a while to show up

I think 4 of those games (including Postal) look very decent/promising, others either not my style or looking too generic/slop.

This is the rare case where at no point was a clear coherent statement ever made, and yet everybody knew exactly what your frustrated ranting mumbles meant.
