Why on earth would I give them shit over providing those titles?
They're like digital trainwrecks, it's great having them.

Hell, I'll talk shit about Fahrenheit all day long, but I still bought that one, along with almost all the other bad ones.
Still need to pick up Kingdom, Simon the Sorcerer 3D and Earthworm Jim 3D, though.
Think I'll get two of those during the promo.

Well, I think GOG's reaction to hatred is as follows.

"This is a shitstorm in the making. Let's just wait until it blows over and then we'll see."

Sensible enough attitude.

I've never played Fahrenheit, or even considered getting it, but I just wishlisted it.

This whole mess of a thread may be GOG's clever ploy to get me to purchase the handful of games here I don't already have.

+1

Fahrenheit is like David Cage shitting on your face. That's it.
If you don't have it, I'd suggest getting it just so you can feel the same pain when it all falls apart. ;)

am pretty sure that's too complicated for them to have fabricated

eh yeah am kinda confused about your post, mostly cause I was referring to the sex in the games lol

And I never claimed that devs raising controversy to publicize their game is a bad thing. On the contrary, it turned out to be a great idea, and an incredibly efficient marketing strategy. What I am saying is that:
a) The fact that devs chose this particular marketing strategy (or that blogs chose to be butthurt about it, doesn't really matter) doesn't make Hatred special in any way. It's just like any other game, and just like any other game, there can be X reasons for GOG to refuse it.

b) The fact that people insist on making it some sort of Ubergame is upsetting. It's one thing when devs create a controversial trailer and media decide to jump onto the controversy - sure, it's hypocritical, but in the end, it's also mutually beneficial. On the other hand, these fanatical propagators of Hatred who basically made it out to be the most important game in the universe before it even got released gain nothing from it, or at least nothing apparent. They're being actively destructive - jumping to conclusions, skipping facts, that sort of thing. I'd love to say they give Hatred devs more exposition at least, but that's not really true either, media took care of that already.

gained nothing from it? we got to put some hypocrites and sjws in their place
EDIT: and now the biggest one remains gog, but you guys don't see it cause apparently a company such as gog cant ever be hypocritical.

Hypocrite? okay point to me where it's stated that Hatred was rejected for it's controversial subject matter?
As far as I can tell no one knows why it was rejected outside of GOG themselves and probley the devs and neither side is elaborating on it. All I ever seen the Devs say on the subject was that they were told "it was good but they(GOG) just couldn't sell it"

That is vauge as hell and could mean many things, the asking price was too high, the game had issues, whatever.
Honestly I may have missed a few posts but I don't think I recall seeing anyone meantion that it was fine if GOG rejected it based on the game's premise. Just that GOG is free to reject stuff because it is their store and unlike Steam has become they are picky on what they approve and yes they do make silly decisions Cat Lady, Xenonauhts, Avernum: Escape from the pit all rejected granted they changed their minds and accepted them sure but they were still rejected and some for dumb reasons like being too high for a indy game.

Now I will agree that if they did reject Hatred for it's premise while selling Postal 1 which is the same damn thing just older(same as in your a guy going level to level on a shooting spree killing cops and civilians). It would be wrong but again there is no proof that they did that. Yet you sit there and get all raging keyboard warrior about it, calling them hypocrites and insulting anyone who disargees, like there is anything more then pure unfounded speculation that was the case.

You and others like you sit there and bitch about the Social Justice warrior crap and yet in the end you act no better then they do, you are the epitomy of being the diffrent side of the same coin because that level of irrational behaviour is the same crap you get from those who claim to be opposed to, making you no better then they are and so the only hypocrite based on what I have seen here is you. Because you seem to act like your better but your not, your as close minded, ingorant and blind to anything that casts doubts on your crazy notions just like those you condemn.

And then Judas says: Keikaku doori.

a) The marketing strategy is very close to what the game is about. Not showing the violence and the trite speech would have been misrepresenting the game. It doesn't have to be special, it just is. Like anything else, they can take it of leave it. The reasons why GOG refused it can be many, but because the zealots wanted the game to be banned, it raises a question whether GOG agreed with them or not.

Zealotry and panic were thus counter-productive.

b) I believe the support for Hatred started when it was taken off Steam Greenlight. Again, the indication that the game would be banned, "censored" or otherwise made unavailable is what created this band of supporters of the game, who feel the right to make their own decisions about what is right for them.

Zealotry and panic were thus counter-productive once again.

"They're being actively destructive - jumping to conclusions, skipping facts, that sort of thing. "

About that, it looks like the few rabid supporters of Hatred are similar to the haters that were calling the devs neo-Nazis who praise ethnic cleansing in their game Hatred.

nothing new there, most of the time anti-extremists can be as bad as the extremists they claim to oppose. Not all of them just some.

You're wrong. He says <span class="bold">Just according to Keikaku</span>.
