And while nobody under 16 is supposed to be using GOG in the first place, that does fly in the face of many laws and statutes, which seems like a heedless risk.
Yeah, they should spend their time on a worthwhile pointless flame war, like which incarnation of The Doctor was the best. And personally, I'm a fan of Pertwee, Davidson, Baker, and ole' Salt & Pepper Troughton.

Hahaha! I love that scene!

Stands to reason, a handful of complaints mean nothing, compared to the sales figures we do not see. We can infer this, based upon the stark increase of such titles. The conclusion from gog is, "Bitch, moan and complain. As long as we make money, you still have a forum to do it in.".

Goglodytes: "Don't save or use my personal data, ever!"
Also Goglodytes: "How dare you recommend me games that don't suit my tastes! I demand personalized ads!"

I just received a similar email. To be honest, I received two newsletter emails: the first with the latest games, interest, and blabla news that I would like to receive, and the second one with adult-content games that I never showed interest in all my long gamer life.

I tried to reply to this email asking them to understand how and where I decided or if I can remove my email to receive JUST these newsletters while continuing to receive my GoG newsletter with offers and gaming-related content updates.

I will keep you up to date if they will ever send me a reply...

Just unsubscribe from the mailing list. Easy as pie. Oh wait the OP did do that, fair point I guess.

Personally like MarkoH01 said earlier, I get emails for stuff I'm not interested in, like strategy games, or management/sim games, or the few brand new AAAs that grace us. The kicker is that I actually don't read their emails all too often to begin with.

And yes GOG fairly assumes you are of legal age to see these emails. If you are under the legal age and have a guardian's permission I think you shouldn't be receiving marketing emails to begin with, or the guardian should be the one responsible for checking these emails. If you're under the legal age and have no guardian that's another topic entirely.

So just delete the emails or unsub from the mailing list.

But... what has any of that to do with this thread? The OP didn't mention that game. He didn't say any of those things. You're taking some most vaguely related other subject and attacking the OP for... what exactly? The fact you assume he's objecting to porn games for what you consider wrong reasons?

All he said is that he's getting email ads about games he doesn't want, so he's unsubscribing from the emails, and later provided an example of how it could be solved. That's it. No reason assume anything else or call him a 12 year old (as someone who in some ways is mentally still 12 I should know :D)

But that's exactly what I meant. As long as such an option does not exist they can't know. So while it's reasonable to complain that such an option/setting does not exist (though I personally still think that it's much fuss about nothing ;)) - and to my knowledge GOG is working on implementing such a filter - it's not reasonable to complain getting such mails as long as they don't even have such an option and therefore no way of knowing what your interests are.

Jup. Pretty much sums it up.

But I really don't get what the fuss is about. If the OP (or others) only want to get mails about games they are interested it, they just can subscribe to the "Wishlist Alerts" list and unsubscribe from all others. Then GOG won't send you adverts for naughty games, unless you have them in your wishlist!

Did anyone say this specifically? I didn't see any when scanning through the posts here. I will also hazard a guess that some females don't want to see dangly bits of one sex or other. No need for any misandry.

Not wanting to see sexual content often gets associated with religious puritans. I'm guessing that's where Cat's reaction jumped to. However, most people generally don't want to be randomly exposed to sexual content, man or woman. OP's complaint is fair. Even if I personally ignored the ad, I get the point.

Just don't sub to the subscription emails.

If you're like most people who claim the free games, you can have your cake and eat it too if you unsub right away.

Prepare for a slew of complaint threads from me then the moment GOG sends me newsletters for game types I have no interest in.

It's a damn newsletter. It's going to have games in there I don't like. Do you know what I do? I read it, shrug my shoulders, and delete the email. indieGala advertises a lot of adult games with their newsletter too.

Furthermore the OP has revealed the reason why they didn't like these games, so it's not a broadly generic conversation about non-interesting games in newsletters. It's specifically about pr0n games, because the OP prominently said so, perhaps as a beck and call to all other people who don't like said games. Using a term which is argumentative given the level of content in some of these games. Risque, titillating or erotic might be more accurate than "pornographic", which by definition means "Containing an explicit depiction of sexual activity."

I had no idea the OP made a "slew" of complaint threads. I guess I missed the other ones.

But if you were to make one, I certainly wouldn't start insulting you because of it and making assumptions about you being a puritan a deviant or three kobolds in a trenchcoat.

Good for you. I'm not saying you're supposed to agree with the OP. I'm just saying I'm sick and tired villifying people who voice any complaint regarding the porn games. In general, I'm sick and tired of using any disagreement as a blank canvass onto which angry assumptions are projected because everything has to be take to extremes and everyone we disagree with on something must be burdened with everything we find disagreeable in general.

It's possible to find complaints about porn games excessive or unreasonable without assuming the people complaining are all the same puritans afraid of nudity etc.

No, he hasn't. You "perhapsing" things because he called a spade a spade is not the OP revealing anything.
