Actually the way I reworked the quote you so desperately pick on is the way that allowed me to preserve the very bits relevant for the message I wanted to convey (you circling around 2 countries in your messages) while retaining my ability to STILL BARELY fit in character limit. This way instead of creating 2 long-a** messages I succedded in fitting in just one.

The thing is, when I am referring ("I", precisely ME, not anybody else) to "free speech" I mean an international standard based somewhere in international human rights and NOT in ANY way related to vastly... "unusual"... US laws.
It's true that A LOT of people just DON'T understand what free speech is about and where it applies.
It's also true that many countries choose to ignore international human rights and the certain big country sandwitched between "country commonly used for racist jokes by the sandwitched country" and "country commonly used for immigration jokes by the sandwitched country" can be seen as one of those by many.
It doesn't change the fact tho that free speech is an international thing by design and generally speaking it should apply EVERYWHERE regardless if it's a public space, citizen laws, or private corp with operating in country Q.

There is a user here called "BitMaster" or some such.
He/she is in no way related to me.
It perhaps might have been him/her you are referring to.

You know, some people MAY take their time to painstakingly disect a list of thread PARTICIPANTS from this thread by hand.
In which case you are ALREADY HERE.
So your "not signing up to not be immediately seen" only works for the "immediatelly" part ;)

I have a Steam account. I have more games on Steam than I have on GOG.
FOR ME Steam is infinitely better on a TECHNICAL level (the one level that MOST users will NEVER perceive nor care about). For *example* GOG's API is:
1.ATTROCIOUS ABOMINATION
2.Not even publicly PROPERLY documented
There is also fundamental lack of OFFICIAL GOG tool of the kind like SteamCMD.
Also SteamDB counterpart called GOGDB is pretty worthless even after a moderately long time of being around.
Also GOG while claiming to be all "DRM free friendly" doesn't allow you to AUTOMATICALLY (as in, without support's involvement) download older builds of your owned games - something that you can do EASILY on Steam if you have technical know-how - that's why USUALLY GOG builds are USELESS for speedruns.
There is many more things like this.
On TECHNICAL level Steam is better (FOR ME). Also Valve supports Linux directly, while GOG is constantly putting an afront in it's direction.
FOR ME there are MANY things far better on Steam.
That does not mean I don't see it's flaws.
That also doesn't mean I am some "fanboy". I am not.
I see Steam's flaws and I try to make Valve fix those.
Here's a bit of true story:
If you try hard enough and talk to the right people (at Valve) you CAN make them change some things.
At least 1 thing I nagged them about got changed (I won't list what it is here but it was a very welcomed change for many people).
UNFORTUNATELLY GOG puts on a facade PRETENDING to listen (the infamous ever-open community wishes that are in fact just a convenient way to pretend to do SOMETHING while doing NOTHING) while in reality they seem to just NOT CARE, and the latest few years of "unfortunate developments" only bring it more to light for those who didn't already know.

I don't know your age. And even if I would it wouldn't matter.
I am in fact probably younger than you.
But LIFE EXPERIENCE has NOTHING to do with age.
So, I don't know what you experienced in life, but I can give you a tip:
Don't worry (that does not mean to just put on pink glasses and NOT CARE, don't confuse those 2 as these are 2 different attitudes). Don't pay attention to the worldwide hate.
Just put on headphones with Doom (2016) music and do your thing while swimming through ever-spreading hordes of idiots worldwide ;)

Speaking of which, it could be possibly the best outcome for GOG to actually branch off and become independent from CDPR-G.
From my perspective GOG is ALWAYS an afterthought for CDPR-G and is treated in a very slack way.
It would have higher chances in succeeding as a store IN THE LONG RUN if it would be independent, instead of being under money-hungry constantly-kept-being-accused-of-mistreating-employees umbrella corp.

GOG forums is an abomination that has:
1.Profoundly outdated CMS design, things break, and even after reports NOBODY CARES
2.A design that seemingly takes the worst from similar platforms and creates some monstrosity (what's the point of rep system if it is THAT BADLY DESIGNED?)
3.Possibility of bringing out people's inner monsters. This forum is among the most toxic public ones across the entire internet.

btw - in before this post gets mass downvoted again - this is something I meant to outright say for a long time:
It seems like it's an implied unofficial rule that one shall not post too much and not be too active in a thread (and not write "long" posts) in this forum as some people get "upset" by the person "taking space" and they just choose to unleash their fury on the rep voting system.
It's so profoundly stupid and funny at the same time.
Like - what - am I supposed to just say one short thing and shut up for several pages?
Grow up people. Just because I am ACTIVE IN A THREAD is not sound enough justification to blindly downvote EVERY post of mine ONCE YOU START.
It's almost like some people here don't control themselves once they start hating.
