patrikc: I believe those are questions that GOG can address. However, it is interesting you chose Nigeria (where the market share is probably very low) and not a country like Russia.

Also, how can you be so sure those disapproving of Pride Month are a minority? It is a biased assumption at best, unless backed up by numbers.

At the end of the day, this is a business decision taken by GOG, albeit in a peculiar fashion. Some will approve of it, others won't. And most likely there are those who do not feel one way or another.

morolf: Maybe, but I don't see where you could see that in this thread. You may of course think people opposed to Pride month are bigoted fossils or whatever, but that doesn't equal Nazism. So throwing around such terms doesn't improve the climate of debate.
Anyway, since your original comment has been deleted, there isn't much point to discuss this any further.

BanditKeith2: Nazism bad and those who aren't but fearing for what would happen if they don't follow orders

morolf: That's misleading as regards the "liquidation" of the Warsaw ghetto or other acts of mass murder unrelated to military fighting. A game about that from the point of view of perpetrators couldn't be but inappropriate, whatever the intention behind it.

PanzerFranzz: For what its worth, I am not going to buy as many games here anymore

TheEndedSkull: For those genuinely curious about why Pride Month is a thing, maybe I can try to explain a bit: As you're probably aware, there have been (and still are) many places in the world where being LGBT is effectively outlawed. The most popular (if I'm not mistaken at least) religions in the world speak out against homosexuality as a sin, perhaps even something to be put to death for. Even in places where these things have improved or are improving, acceptance doesn't happen overnight. There's no magic switch where same-sex marriage becoming legal means that suddenly being gay is no big deal anymore.

See, while some people refuse to believe this it's not a choice for someone to be gay or trans or whatever else. It's just how they are, and this tends to be a pretty big part of their identity and their lives. Most people want romantic love, to find someone who they can spend the rest of their life with. Most people want to feel comfortable being authentic and sincere and expressing themselves genuinely. These things can become incredibly difficult if pursuing love or being true to yourself means feeling like most of the world hates you, means losing your friends or family because they won't accept you anymore.

The reason there is no Straight Pride or Cis Pride is because it's always been socially acceptable (and expected) to be those things. Nobody has to come out as straight, nobody has to come out as cisgender. Nobody has to worry about their friends, family, community, or government hating them for being those things. The point of Pride is to stand in opposition to the shame, the hatred, the alienation, all of the pain others have inflicted and continue to inflict upon LGBT people. The point is to show people they're not alone, as well as to help spread awareness, understanding, and acceptance of them.

For most people, sadly, being LGBT is difficult. Some are fortunate enough to live in accepting places and be with accepting people, but many aren't. It is really, really tough to feel like all of the people you love most in the world wouldn't be able to love you anymore if they knew the truth about you. They wouldn't accept you, they wouldn't understand you or even want to understand you. They'd look down on you, they'd see you as defective, or maybe even worse. People treat your very existence as a political issue, and it can feel like the world itself simply doesn't want you around.

It's really bad, honestly. But it doesn't have to be that way. Human beings choose how to treat each other, and there is no reason why LGBT people have to be treated poorly. Hopefully someday we'll reach a point where they aren't, where "coming out" really is no big deal. That seems to be a long way away though, if it's ever reached. But Pride Month is a part of working towards it, and it's part of giving LGBT people some time where maybe the weights they carry don't have to feel quite so heavy.

JakobFel: As a conservative Christian, I don't agree with the lifestyle that the LGBT community pursues but I respect them and treat them no differently than any other human. That said, I do have to say that June is probably my least favorite month of the year simply because of the Pride Month thing. I don't have a problem with people celebrating who they are. That's fine. I just don't see why we need to spend an entire month of shoving it in everyone's faces (I can't stand the activists) when celebrations like Christmas, Veteran's Day and the like are only singular DAYS out of the year.

StingingVelvet: In that context there should be absolutely zero surprise or anger that they would promote Pride Month, which is a thing pretty much every company in the West is doing right now.

TheEndedSkull: Where in the US are you that Christmas isn't shoved down your throat for the last 2-3 full months of the year? I've seen that stuff in stores before Halloween lately, and of course when December itself rolls around the whole thing gets dialed up to 11.

lukaszthegreat: Isn't it for gog to make sales from a) gay people b) people who want to support homesexuality

So if you are not in those two categories
What's the big deal?

lukaszthegreat: Hence people who are anti pride month are small minority
