Isn't Hatered just straight cut misanthropy with no real redeeming qualities about it?

Pretty much.

I'm actually interested in such games, but nobody's doing them well. Misanthropy is actually an interesting subject, but I'd want it covered at a deeper psychological level than videogames do with their "woohoo I'm evil and I'm killing everyone, haha" characters.

There was that wishlist entry, asking for GOG to bring in uncensored games:

https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/uncensored_versions_of_games

Says "in progress", but will never be "completed", i bet. Games here are loaded with censorship, especially those in German. Others, aren't even sold in certain locales, like Germany and Japan. And worst of all, games like (old) Fallout (1+2 mostly), are censored.

Since even worldwide versions of games, games old as hell itself, get censor, it is lies at best, to believe in the chance for the opposite. Also, yes, we all forget the local branch of always "offended", special individuals. Anything they don't like, they only need to nag at GOG.

Why the quotes around refuse? Also i always see people saying it looks like a shitty game but to me it looks like an average top down shooter. Nothing great, maybe not even good, but nothing awful either. Can't say for sure though as like i said i haven't played it. As always though whether a game looks shitty or not is subjective. For instance some people seem to have a deep burning hatred for pixel art games and think they all look shitty, while others don't mind them or even enjoy them :p

I'm sleeping on fifty mattresses, and I can still feel a pea someone placed on the bottom one.

I hear you, and I agree.

But that's how curation works. "Let's sell it, someone's gonna like it after all" is what drove Steam to be the shovelware-fest it is now. (edit: I don't know why you deleted that part of your post)

After Dark. The olde Windows screen saver program.

I remember when Postal 1 came out. I was a little girl, I saw it on CNN being talked about, they were saying how "bad" it was. I got my dad to buy it for me right away, haha! I loved making my own maps full of bombs in it, killing all those happy people. Sigh Those were such innocent days.

On topic, I'd only welcome the idea if they accept other games too. GOG has declined so many games. If they just start to accept loads of adult games only because of their content, then I want them to accept all the other games too, otherwise they'll just become an adult store, and while *you* may like it, I personally would rather have all those other games full of adventure where I can kick some monster arse. In the end, I would just stop shopping at gog if they focused so much on adult games cause of their content.

BTW, I could make the same argument for any genre as in the OP. :p Remember killing children in games? How it was censored? Think of how much money you can make selling to the gamers that want to kill children if you open a shop called, "Killing children is back baby!" :D

I deleted it as i've had somuch drama today over on the Steam forums I couldn't be bothered to get into another debate.

But seeing as you replied, i'll reply with this one mans Shovelware is another mans treasure. I know people who only collect mem games. I don't but if you like those types of games, should they be denied to you just because people other people don't like them?

I know that people have different opinions on the matter, but I prefer a curated platform like GOG, where I lose the opportunity to get 3 or 4 games I might like than an "open" platform like Steam, where there are no rules other than "the game launches". Curation (= hand-picking what goes on the store) always comes with a cost, but I value the benefits it brings more than its costs.

And I agree that there is alot of rubbish on Steam and GOG for me exells at that part that they screen things. But what i'm getting at is just because one person says its bad, doesnt mean it is. Daiktana for example was very badly slated by reviewers when it first came out, I personally loved it though.

I played the s**t out of Mad Max, even though it had something like 70 on Metacritic, and loved every minute I spent in that game, I know how it feels like to enjoy something everyone else seems to hate :D

I made the mistake of playing Rise from the Tomb Raider first. After being able to jump to ledges and stuff and not being able to do that on Max it felt like a massive leap backwards.

But anyway we are digressing from the purpose of this thread.

I genuinely laughed out loud when I got to the line "Enter GOG After Dark".

My god, that's got to be the sleaziest name I've ever heard.
