    This whole saga might just inadvertently make porno games explode (heh) in popularity. I’ve never played one myself, but if GOG is giving some away for free, I’m going to download a few and see what the hype is about.

      That’s a good timing. I’m looking at my calendar and I am due for my workout session anyway…

        You got a calendar for that? I only got a watch to keep track of my sessions

      Just a heads up, because of payment processor stuff, most are free on itch.io right now also.

      source
      • Zorque@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        As I understand it, those were ones that were already free (to an extent, you could still pay if you wanted to before this).

      Well I hope you don’t bust while playing Postal 2. Not really any sexy stuff on there, but you can dump gas on people, burn them alive, and then piss on them.

      Also, cats can be used as suppressors.

        don’t forget to pick up the original, which is also free. i put in way more hours into it than i care to admit when it was a new game.

        I’m rewatching some Criminal Minds. You’d be surprised/horrified at what some people bust to. The main word of that show is sexual sadism. That said, this one does stand out among the other games lol

      I’ve heard good things about Hunie Pop. So far it’s… uncomfortably sexist. But I guess what do you expect. I’ll give it a shot.

        It was published in 2015 and it feels like it was written in 2007, I find it mostly funny but I agree it’s not be the best ambassador for the genre.

    • Philokins@lemmynsfw.com ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I’ve played Being a ΔΙΚ, House Party, and Fetish Locator, and they’re pretty great. Heard good things about Hunnie Pop and Leap of Faith.

      Hunie Pop is actually a valid puzzle game on its own merits, with a surprising amount of strategy involved.

    I’m going to out myself a little bit in praise of the horny games genre. I enjoy comedies, and I’ve had more laughs while playing these games than anything else I’ve watched or played in the last few years. So many horny games put you in a place to have good, light hearted fun. Being a DIK (included in the bundle) has so many great moments with Derek and Hell week especially. Being a DIK probably has the best soundtrack and needle drops in all of gaming also. Hunie Pop’s dialogue is also incredibly funny. If any of this kindles your interest in the AVN genre, make sure you play Eternum.; it’s far and away the funniest game and some of the best times I’ve had by myself wearing my headphones and cackling like a madman.

    AVN devs are virtuosos of game design. They are pouring their souls into making these experiences no one will ever hear about because of their sexual content, and subsisting on mainly donations.

    I read up a little on what’s on offer and it seems that the Leap of Faith game is actually quality, story driven, and deals with heavy subjects like bipolar depression , body image problems and more.

    They should let people buy credits… Then redeem them for the game they want.

    source
    • TachyonTele@piefed.social ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That's just called buying a game.

        Yeah but with extra steps to give the company plausible deniability.

      I sure do miss Microsoft points

      • brsrklf@jlai.lu ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Or Wii points. With craftfully engineered payment options and prices so that emptying your account was a puzzle where you always end up buying something you didn’t really want.

        Combined with star points in Europe, the loyalty reward points that you couldn’t use for anything for years… And then they let you exchange them for Wii points, at a ridiculously low conversion rate, and you’re struggling to use those again.

      If any one of the games are banned in your country, you will get an error.

      This page lists what’s banned where: support.gog.com/hc/articles/29306002386845

      Two of the games were banned in my country, so a quick VPN to the Netherlands and the “purchase” went through.

    • AnotherSmutAccount@lemmynsfw.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      It might be that there is a region lock or something. It only worked for me after connecting via VPN to the NL. And then it still complained but the games showed up in the library

      Most of the games are forbidden in Germany, so you have to redeem one by one:

      One or more games from the Freedom To Buy offer is banned in your country. If you are in one of the countries below, please go here: support.gog.com/hc/articles/29306002386845 This article contains codes to redeem the games one at a time, and will allow you to redeem those games which are available in your country
