Let's be serious. None of you people even heard of the game until the drama started.

NONE of you gave a damn when STEAM banned it, sucking up to China.

The Dev boasting about removing there game from GOG doesn't give a damn as they did not remove there games from STEAM that supported the removal of Devotion.

All of you just want to have the delusion of fighting the good fight without actually putting any effort into it.

Like with all the drama on the forum you will get tired with it in about two weeks and wait for the next drama.

Licking Winnie the Pooh's and CDPR's boots must be a fun hobby for you.

I heard about the game from the news during the original controversy.

I didn't check it out then but perhaps a bit because of the Streisand effect, I've just read a review of it and it piqued my interest. So I do care about it now.

More importantly, I care about GOG staying true to its original principles. Everything that happened so far regarding this situation goes completely against what GOG used to represent.

And if something like this happens once, it's bound to happen again.

So if for some people it's not about the game but primarily about where GOG is headed, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

Even if that were to be true, it's still completely irrelevant.

I am staunchly against censorship, and so are many people.

One need not be interested in the game itself in order to have the right to speak out against the tyrannical acts of GOG both:

a) censoring the game from its platform and

b) flagrantly lying about their reason for doing so, by falsely claiming it was because "many gamers" told them to

So, your thread title is presenting a false premise by strongly implying that only people who are interested in the game should be allowed to have a say in this debacle.

Having said that, there are many fans of the game who would have bought it here on GOG. But again, that's irrelevant: everyone has a right to speak up and oppose GOG's nefarious actions 100% regardless of whether or not they are interested in the game itself.

We are not just care about Devotion, we care the censorship on GOG, care did we need to watch out for that Xi's small easy-broken heart before we play a game.

I was there when it went up on Steam and went to find some folks playing it to see if I would enjoy it myself. Got wrapped up watching a playthrough and did a lot of talking with folks in chat about it. Looked up the developer, things they've had to say on the Steam forums and on Twitter around the time and thought a while longer ( as I usually do for most purchases of games instead of impulse buying ).

I saw all of that shit go down, kept waiting and asking if anyone heard any more news and not hearing more after they left Steam to keep another company that was working with them safe from China's bullshit ( it didn't.. they were still punished pretty heavily for being involved in any way ).

Just finding out when Devotion was even coming to GOG, I was ready to jump on that before it might vanish again because of some awful people bowing to China and their "leader" that can't handle a simple name-calling. .. of Pooh Bear of all things...


So I do care about this. Fuck you for even starting a thread to get people riled up in some sort of 'gotcha'.

You are wrong.

Of course they don't care, if they actually cared about GoG doing this they'd delete their GoG account. That's the problem with fake controversy, it's about the entertainment value not the actual "let's change something."

If you want to do something, write to your government demanding that all trade with china be cut off until they become a democracy. THAT would be standing up for your beliefs and THAT might actually accomplish something. GoG isn't the only company bending over backwards for the CCP.

-I heard of the game when it came out due to everyone talking about it being a fantastic game, unfortunately I didn't have gaming PC at the time to buy it on steam.

-Steam didn't ban the game, the developer's publisher lost it's publishing license in China. In fact, the soundtrack for the game is still on Steam. If they were in the same business as you, washing China's balls, they would have undoubtedly removed all traces of the game, but they didn't.

-Again, other than Valve not stepping in to publish the game themselves, there is no evidence that the game wouldn't be allowed on their store and again, to this day, they still have the game's soundtrack for sale.

-I'm sorry? Do you want us all to travel to Poland and protest outside these people's homes? Have some fucking respect. Not everyone in the company is an amoral CCP piece of crap. The best kind of protesting in these situations IS DOING NOTHING. That nothing of course being, not handing over any money to GOG when we otherwise would have.

-People might move on with their lives. That's a normal thing to do. Doesn't mean the stink of Chinese censorship on this platform is ever going away.

Ding, ding. Wanna go round 2? Or is it game over. Hurry, I hear Xinnie the Pooh has extra cheese on his dong today, wouldn't want you to be late for his cleaning appointment.

I actually do care about the game, but like many have said, that's kind of irrelevant. And those are some real mind reading skills there telling us what we really think.

But I get it. It must be a pain skipping over those extra threads in the forum. That's the real travesty here. Don't worry, you'll get it back soon enough assuming CDPB/R survive the Cyberpunk mess.

It's an almost completely irrelevant game nobody was interested in. Hats off to the idiot who decided it was a good idea to release it on GOG in the first place.

I'd heard of it, but true, I don't care about the game. I do care about slimy authoritarian governments affecting my purchasing options, or any aspect of my life.

But you're not willing to give up the cheaper phones, tvs, computers / everything we get from outsourcing there and making the CCP rich right?

What a stupid take. I'm from the U.S. CD projekt is not a U.S. company. Hold brb, letting the moron known as Donald J Trump know about this while he is in office being a petty ass loser. The government is ineffective when it comes to the free market. There is no evidence of the game not being allowed on steam anyway. Only signs point to them being unable to find a publisher, hence the reason GOG was going to publish the game on their store. Educate yourself and maybe stop being an ineffective dunce. If people speaking out against GOG aren't doing enough? What does that make you? You are bored? Well I would be too if I had such a small mind and need to wax corporate greed by trying to dilute the subject with nonsense. You ask for major steps when you don't even know how to walk.

I'll gladly take the hit if it means that stuff is manufactured under humane conditions in my own region.
