Lifthrasil: Let's see who is going to be fired about this release. The last perceived insensitivity led to the discharge of Linko. Let's see how it goes this time.
I don't know about others, but I DO NOT want anyone fired or the game removed(let people buy what they want)...I want them to acknowledge their rule about politics is a laugh in the face of such release and either cut it back/be more lenient with it, or drop it almost entirely(
short of posts that get too out of hand or break other rules).
=======================
TheMonkofDestiny: The GOGBear will get put into a rocket and scapegoated directly into the sun for this indignity.
Which one...there are multiple bears. :)

kohlrak: I've left because the politics and the impossible standards for avoiding political discussions irked me. I decided to stick to game specific forums (actually, only 1, and because i felt i had an issue to address [eventually decided to contact the devs directly]). However, i must break this vow of silence for this game... We need to worry about how our politics look on the forums until we can make a sale on it i see... Now it's not just an impossible standard to avoid politics, but a
double standard! SARS-CoV-2 and how to handle it is very much a political issue, so now GOG wants to support things it agrees with while banning discussion on politics? I'm absolutely sure they're doing a good job banning all discussion on it as well, outside of this game.
But, hey, i'm a free speech absolutist, so i think it has a right to exist. I think gog should freely allow as many games as possible. However, GOG should know damn well that this is going to put it's curation under much, much more scrutiny at this point. All the games it rejects and rejected in the past in favor of this obvious tone-deaf cash-in? Either come up with some standard we can verify for your curation, or abandon it entirely, because i think most people would say this is not something to make GOG alot of money over something like pro-trump or pro-biden propaganda. Insted of pissing off "one camp" you manage to piss off everyone with this. Sure, it should be allowed on here, but beware the outrage over the next game you reject.
Well said.....I agree with the bulk of it, and also dislike the double standard of "Don't talk politics on the forums! & "But buy this political game!"
