Tracido: Which contradicts the numbers, which brings me back to loudmouths, making a fuss until GOG got nervous...
Or they refused it for entirely different reasons than what people say on discussion boards. Of course that doesn't fit your SJW narrative, so you're just going to make shit up as opposed to be looking at facts :-) Please just leave, don't let the door hit you on your way out. You don't need GOG to play GOG games, they're DRM-free - I'm sure you're aware of that.

The fact is there isn't a response.

Don't let the door hit you either. I have no problem reminding your tiny mind that Desura has it DRM free, which is why there is no reason for it to not be here.

GOG almost never discloses why did they refuse a game. Why should they make an exception for Hatred? Because you said so?

You're the one who said that you don't want to have anything to do with this store, not me ;-)

I don't wish to buy from a company that bans games, no. To watch that company fall for doing it, that's different.

Now as it is #1 on the game charts (of the top fifty http://www.gamespot.com/gamespot-50/ ), I think GOG can feel free to lose all the money they wish. I'll be here, with popcorn. :)

Both GOG and Steam have refused pornographic and erotic games in the past, make sure to stop purchasing from Steam as well. Not sure about Desura.

Desura is where games go before removing AO ratings to get on Steam.

AO is not allowed on Steam for sexual content because of the laws in America about them in anything, including video or images.

If the reason is for fear of European laws that's different, but GOG is Poland and so is the Hatred studio, who are FOLLOWING Polish game laws, again fail.

Of course, GOG also has offices in US and are officially based in Cyprus. Additionally, both GOG and Steam have refused a lot more than just AO games in the past.

I'd also like to repeat what you have so conveniently ignored: That GOG never discloses why they refused a game. For any game.

Not Steam, other than anything pornographic, which must be censored before being sold. There weren't any developers wanting to risk it, either.

AO hasn't been in the scene for violence, which is all that Steam accepted, other than with Manhunt 2. Which, was owned by Rockstar and they officially wanted it buried, they even removed it from their store online, Amazon and Gamersgate are it now.

Nor does the ESRB (about what they rate AO), which is why it's very difficult to determine AO ratings for violence in the past even though, there were MANY.

Oh how he conveniently changes topic again :-P Of course Steam has refused tons of games in the past, not every game gets on their store. That they have automated greenlight process changes very little. Additionally, GOG has always been known as a heavily curated store which quite simply refuses most games sent their way. How comes you didn't leave when they refused Machines of War 3? Braid? Thomas was Alone? Dozens of other indie games for which GOG didn't give any disclosure as to why were they refused?

Greenlight isn't Steam refusing, it's people choosing. However, much of the worst things I see that make it, are confusing.

Steam refused what adults only violent game, and when?

GOG refused what AO violent game and when?

I understand why sex is a problem(on Steam), it's an American based company. Europe hates violence, this is basic common sense. Why they(GOG) would support AO games with what they consider mild sexual content made sense, & that was the only difference.

Steam acceptance and Greenlight acceptance are two different things. Steam accepts games both via Greenlight and via agreements with publishers. When a publisher tells Steam they want Steam to sell a game and Steam refuses, that's not considered banning?

I'm not going to google Steam refusals. I mostly can't be bothered, so if you want to call this "I'm right", feel free to ;-)

Sooo... When GOG refuses a game which is AO and violent, it's banning and not letting adults choose, but if they refuse game which is neither AO nor violent, it's not banning and it doesn't impede your ability to choose? How does that work?

Which games got refused, especially after being greenlighted by an overwhelming majority?

That's what happened with hatred, please share another like that, I'm all eyes.

So, when GOG has never had one before, in its history, and the first one is refused, what's that seem like, eh?

It seems precisely like dozens of games GOG has refused previously for non-disclosed reasons. I'm sure they all had their own unique characteristics. The moment this becomes a pattern and GOG starts refusing all violent games sent their way (regardless of some arbitrary rating), that's a reason for concern. As it stands, GOG refusing an indie game they are offered without giving a reason is nothing out of the ordinary.
