Note from the developer and publisher: 20% of all net sales from the game throughout May and June will be donated to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and other charitable foundations supporting the fight against the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.
No I think I'll pass on this. An attempt to cash in on a virus so the developers can be seen as relevant in the industry. Not sure whether anybody would play what is likely a reskinned game. But hey guys it comes with wallpaper!

LGGOG: One great thing about games is ESCAPISM - we can have WWII games, sci-fi, fantasy, etc., and not having to deal with exact real world events if we're having a good time enjoying great gameplay or story.
Dude I have a bad news for you...

Yep, some millions of people "escaped" life back then. Yet, we're having a good time enjoying the gameplay...

I think it's good to voice opinions but I do get a sense of virtue-signaling in this topic, just my opinion of course. In any case, if we're looking from a "DRM-free gaming" perspective, this game has more business being here than GWENT. Can curation go ahead and curate that one out of the DRM-free store; surely it could be sold from CDPR's own site instead?
This is way to tasteless. On par with Raid: Shadow legends. get this shit down GOG. This belongs on some shitty flash player site at best.
There are things that can be written or done to express how much one deprecates the fact to find a title such like this on GOG or Steam. One can try to reason with GOG and tell them how there is no place for it and why. It will not make the game disappear from the store. One can also stop buying other games and the result will be the same. It stands to reason that voting with the wallet is certainly a strong argument if many would do it - which isn't very likely.

What is left is to ignore it, block it out with your ad-blockers, and it is gone. Whoever wishes to buy it? They will do it despite what others say. Have fun, people - if there is any to be had.

My personal opinion is that this is a title I would have least expected to find on GOG. Not even on Steam to be honest ... but with greater likelihood to be accepted. It works differently on GOG with curation. Which in this case really wasn't the best move considering whose titles have been refused and for what reasons ... As for me? I will not buy anything from this publisher, and ignore this and all the other titles, even though I would have Realpolitiks and DLC during this sale. Despite the negative reviews it received.

For GOG it would be best to reconsider and remove it. Not for the sake of anyone demanding it, not for the sake of arguments probably unheard, but for their own sake. There's a storm looming once the major websites become aware of it and no mentioning the trolls drawn to it just waiting for their next opportunity. That's of course on GOG, Steam, and wherever else one could buy this game. They have to live with the consequences.

Raid is a nice mobile game though.

This post brought to you by Raid: Shadow Legends ;P

All joking aside, it may very well be. Not my cup of tea, however.
Yikes. Top dog curation right there.
are you kidding me? they easily could have called it something else, but instead capitalized on an ongoing tragedy. screw em. also, looks like the boardgame Pandemic clone
Just checking in to see if the thread and the game are still up, I would bet the game and the thread is gone from GOG by Monday or Tuesday. They might need one workday of back and forth discussions to arrive at the conclusion that the release of this game at this point in time might have been the worst idea since Operation Barbarossa.

If I considered buying the game I would do so right now without hesitation.

I wonder if gog is having some second guessing about deciding to bank on an ideological point - media should be drm-free - to attract customers. Like, it is bound to attract fanaticism-inclined as well, the self-righteous sadists, how do you handle them now?

Keep the game.
Any press is good press.

I think you'll find they were spice mines. Typical of fake news.

And yet, we're totally fine with Wolfenstein, Medal of Honor and the first COD's games (even if some were banned and/or changed in Germany), and we can't judge Wolfenstein for it's historical rigor, right?
