FrodoBaggins: To the boys defending the disgusting porn games...

Would you still be as interested if the games showed almost-naked men, instead of almost naked women?
Personally, the only things I find "disgusting" are censorship and moralization, not erotic content in games.
Which is why I've been for years a very vocal advocate for more naked men in games as an answer to those annoying moralizers that complain about sexualized females in games, in lieu of censorship.
In fact, most games ALREADY sport half naked muscular men normally. Only women are taboo, due to some weird double standard.

Im glad they did that

Realms Antiquity? ?? looks like garbage
Lurking II A Madness looks like a garbage too
who wants these games anyway? probably nobody

looking like 40+ year old games is not an advantage

I don't really care if GOG decides to have adult games, though I'm not super happy with Subverse, there's far better adult games with better gameplay to smut balance than Subverse(which is 100% a smut game focused on smut and nothing else). I'd much rather see something like Brave Souls, or Evenicle. Where gameplay comes first, and the smut second.


Eitherway, If GOG wants to accept Adult games, it should be an all or nothing thing, not dipping their toes. Either all Adult games are added within the same standards\curation as other games, or none should be(Meaning, Evenicle 2 and similar games should be accepted).

On the other hand, why it is more disgusting than shooters, for example? In a shooter, you kill people, sometimes good people who defend their homeland from invading forces. Vietcong is a great game, but, honestly, you just kill locals who are trying to defend their country.

Or Carmageddon where you constantly kill pedestrians with your car.

Or Mortal Kombat with very painful deaths.

And on the other hand, we have games with sex. Sex which makes people closer together, sex which is an important step in a relationship, sex which creates new life and brings new humans into our world.

So, my question is: since when and how sex between two people is considered worse than killing?
Just be thankfully you get all the content in the game rather than the usual GOG trick on online gated or pay per booby.

It's technically not all the content (yet), as the game isn't finished.

it's okay for a piece of media / entertainment to target a specific audience / demographic

also yeah like Breja said, "Defending =/= being interested in"

In the evangelistical (or islamist) worldview, sex has always been worse than murder. It is very perverse that a religion, that pretends to be a religion of love, condemns and expression of love (consensual sex) but is entirely OK with the ultimate expression of hate (violent killing). Somehow none of these ostensibly religious people see the contradiction. And they don't understand that, while they complain about the oh so bad 'perversion' of depicting sexual love, the real perversion lies in hating in the name of Love.

The problem is not that religions condemn sex or expressions of love - that is hardly so. They condemn an idealized (or better said demonized) version of sin - fornication - whereby one engages in sexual activities only out of desire, to obtain a constant selfish sexual gratification. In this sense they classify fornication much in the lines of substance abuse. If you have sex within the confines of marriage in order to "populate the Earth", then "spread and be plentiful" :P.

The behavior religions condemn is very rare in actuality in an individual, who seeks sex and companionship for a variety of other reasons. I would imagine the clergy would like to substitute faith as an alternative to the gratification of sex and companionship, but we are already discussing trains of thinking that have been defined centuries ago and are very much obsolete in this day and age (at least in most parts of the world). Religion should not have a social role IMHO, but should remain true to its original purpose - dealing with spiritual matters.

It's role was always social, ensuring tribal uniformity and cohesion, and giving the people in control of religion control over the population. "Spiritual matters" are just the veneer used to accomplish all that.

Agreed, but we're mostly talking ancient history (or certain parts of the world still stuck in ancient history), not modern statecraft, where religion does not a play a role in deciding social policies. I mean it still tries to at times be a compass for morality, but technically it doesn't have any legislative or administrative power to do so. Its sole tools as this point are social pressure and tradition. The witch hunts and inquisitions are over last I checked :P.

Got is part of CDPr who do indeed develop “games” and then use GOG as the front to push them. As you well knew already.

You are right.

But the role in deciding social policies still exists. In the past it was direct action, theocracies of all kinds or extreme power of the clergy in governments, but in modern times it is made introduced in some political parties, their messages and law projects. Not only religious pressure based in tradition. The latter is basically understood for their own people or sectors.

XYCat: The games involving sex scenes show both.

I know, shocking, but true! :o
Really? Where? Cos looking at the front page, I don't see any almost-naked men with their privates bulging out.

In most games, men have their privates decently covered up, and not bulging out. THAT is double standard.

You obviously know nothing about evangelicals, and it shows. There is a difference between sex in loving relationship of a married couple (this is an expression of love between a man and a woman), and than there is obligation-free shaging for fun, no strings attached (that is not an expression of love). Now, subverse seems like a game that contains smut for the sake of smut. And FYI, Christians condemn murder.
