Okay maybe I am getting old here but it seems people are throwing around words to back up arguments in complete lack of understanding of their meanings as I am aware of them, now yes definitions change so can someone please explain to me how GOG is committing censorship by not selling the game?

Last I checked Censorship is: the practice of officially examining books, movies, etc., and suppressing unacceptable parts.

In other words: To "censor" is to review something and to choose to remove or hide parts of it that are considered unacceptable. Censorship is the name for the process or idea of keeping things like obscene word or graphic images from an audience. There is also such a thing as self-censorship, which is when you refrain from saying certain things — or possibly re-wording them — depending on who is listening.

So how is a store not deciding to sell something that is seen as controversial as censorship? Provided GOG denied the game based on content. They are a store, stores are free to sell or not sell any item they choose. Yeah you can use the book banning arguement but that's not censorship per say, that's suppression and banning now if they make it available and take out offensive content then yes that's censorship.

It's the same as people saying Galaxy is Alpha under the label of Beta and was rushed out for the Witcher 3 and it's not truly optional. That also confuses me since last I checked Beta software was defined as: A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to try under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing often inhouse and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as a result. Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in it than completed software, as well as speed/performance issues and may still cause crashes or data loss. The focus of beta testing is reducing impacts to users, often incorporating usability testing.

As for rushed It's defined as: done or completed too hurriedly; hasty.

So as far as I am aware the client in it's current state does fit that definition of Beta and since it wasn't claimed to be the final release version I can't see how it could be rushed. As for optional your not forced to use it for anything outside of games that use it's API for multiplayer functions and that is only if you want to play multiplayer. That sounds pretty optional to me.

Again, maybe the definitions changed and I am unaware but as it stands I don't see any "Censorship" happening here as it applies to Hatred since you can get it elsewhere, limiting your options sure but censorship? really? same with the other things I mentioned.
