GOG should let people write anything they want about the game in the review as long as it is actually about the game. I'm totally against censorship, and that's one of the reasons I come here. The Steam forums seem like they are moderated with much more heavy-handed censorship.

Yet you can still call things retarded there.

Google deletes reviews of businesses that purchase advertising on Google Maps, when those same businesses complain about negative ones.
GoG probably operates the same way.

Have you tried contacting support? It would be informative to hear their response.

I tend to prefer Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"; I imagine that like most things on this website, it relies on creaky old databases and bloated blob files. And in cleaning out the nodes that were related to the Hitman reviews, they managed to demolish several other reviews.

(Though, given the matter, I feel there shouldn't be different reviews over different "Editions" of games, and that instead there should be a "Here's what our users are saying about Space Umpires IV".)

I have my own issues with the different 'Editions', but I feel this might be misleading.

Many times the different editions contain different sets of DLCs, and those can often change content or provide bug fixes.

So, someone thinking about purchasing 'Generic Game' might read a review that was technically about 'Generic Game: The ultimate Collection', and not realize that one of the pieces of content for 'The ultimate Collection' fixed a but that prevents the original edition from running on a particular system (or it crashes at a certain point if certain conditions are met).

Or that one of the things that people liked about 'Generic Game' was something that was added for 'The Ultimate Edition' specifically.

Perhaps if the reviews were labeled with the particular edition of the game that was reviewed, but showed up on all editions, it would work.

That'd work. I just think that a lot of things on GOG should collapse into each other instead of having 5 million gamecards for a single game. DLCs never get reviews for a reason.

Oh, I agree, that is one of my issues with the various 'Editions', trying to figure out, okay, what is the difference between this edition and that edition, and does this edition come with this DLC or that DLC, or all of them. Sometimes it is clear, sometimes it isn't.

Especially when you see 5 million game cards that don't tell you you actually own them, so if you got them through one of the collection editions of the game, it can be very confusing (especially for people like me, who often can't remember the specific names of each DLC for each game I own)
