It is not censorship if not performed by government.

If GoG decides to stop selling porn games, it would be just another business decision based on the perceived profit/loss this action makes them.

Porn games can still be sold on different stores no matter on GoG decision, so no censorship is happening.

You sir, need to stop getting triggered over this content. Calling people incels, talking about how vile this stuff is, then going on about toxic masculinity - please take all of your SJW bullshit and get off this forum. This content is not for you and you demonstrate that you are not mature enough to handle it. Do we know the difference between fictional rape and non-consensual sex play and real rape? We don't? We're seeing pixelated characters in fictional rape situations as real? We need to go see a therapist and talk about our issues.

This is not the game's problem, it's yours. When I talk about Starless, it is women that are in control there "not the incel wet dream" and it is more vile assuredly than anything this novel could possibly offer. And it is femdom. There is no gameplay, just torture and sexual torture. And I love it. Why? For the same people like shock in horror movies.

Would I ever consider it appropriate to act out in a real life scenario? No. Because I know the difference between rape, molestation and other forums of sexual and mental abuse. I am an adult that can distinguish fiction from fantasy. If you can't do that, then you need to go have a talk with someone in mental health. If these images and scenes are triggering you, that is your problem and once again, you need to get help with it. Don't blame the game, the developers or the publishers for content you cannot handle.

That the release announcement should acknowledge that this product includes rape porn.

Now kindly bugger off.

No, not at all. What you are probably mixing up is the US first amendment that protects you from censorship from the government, but that's something US specific and censorship has nothing to do with whenever it is enacted by the government or not.
You mean something like that:

"This game contains mature content recommended only for ages 18+ "

To publicly clarify things a bit. Warning was mainly for posting offensive remarks against other nationalities. We also don't allow to post links to porn websites no matter what the particular video presents. The video was on a porn website and this fact matters. Anyway I won't discuss this case publicly further. If there are questions or suggestions you can always send a private message to me or any other moderator.

Would you like to guess what I'll do if I catch you raping someone, "friend"?

GOG is going to henceforth refer to this sort of product as rape porn, because that is precisely what it is. And then we'll see how that works out for them.

90% of the genre involves rape. It's pretty normal, have you been living under a rock? It's called consensual non-consensual sex play and women love it. Do I need to bring up the fact that a novel with explicit rape and murder of women was written by a woman? Kara No Shoujo. And guess what? It is a favorite among women. There are women in the eroge community. They know there's rape in these games and they don't have a problem with it. None of it is real and all of the games have a disclaimer that is is a work of fiction and that none of the stuff is condoned by the publisher. Just like a murder simulator. It says it pretty blatantly, even in untranslated Japanese Kanji. Don't blame GOG for not knowing the material.

Is that a threat? Are you now threatening people here? Have you gone that fucking low to start making threats?

You really don't see how backwards it is they are selling a game that violates they're own rules for discussion? You don't think that rules of the forum and rules of the store shouldn't be in conflict? The link bombardier provided shows a completely different side of the game than anything shown on the game's store page. And that's despite that store page being "18+". Whatever else you may think of his posts (I'm staying away from that, having a sensible discussion on the topic is clearly impossible), with that link he provided valuable info about the game for anyone considering a purchase. And he got a warning for that. It's no different than if during the recent Hitman release mods gave out warnings for listing features locked behing online DRM that weren't mentioned on the game's page.

It's really just sheer hypocrisy, just like selling obviously political games and banning political discussion. GOG is now selling stuff they seem to be so ashamed of they don't show a complete, true look of those games, and when someone does it for them they get punished. I think regardless of where anyone stands on these porn games, this is pathetic and nonsensical. Rules of the forum and rules of the store shouldn't be in conflict.

So, porn on this website good, porn on other websites bad. Makes perfect sense :D

what makes it a porn website? it hosts porn just like gog , is gog a porn site too?

I would have thought that you're intelligent enough to appreciate the irony that a smut site is the only place he *could* link to to show what GOG is now peddling. Alas, I was wrong.

I would like to protest this finding as it was introduced as if performed by me.

In only instance where nationality was mentioned I actually defended Japanese games as being more than rape porn, while others were claiming that this is a standard for Japanese indie game companies, and we should have no high expectations when looking at Japanese indie game market.

I'd be OK with it if it wasn't rape porn, but that's exactly what it is, and thanks for making that unquestionably clear.

Well, it is. The Japanese indie market is full of these. Doujin circles do other things, but most doujin works are of an adult nature. It's a massive industry over there and it's all starting to hit the mobile market.
Also, we weren't talking about Japanese games in general, but Japanese doujin. Completely different market.

No, why should they ? That's two different things, the rules of the forum say you cannot post explicit or in general non-safe-for-work images and it's not a new rule. That Gog sells games that contains images that fall in the NSFW category, be it because of sexual content or violence, doesn't change that.

If you start posting graphic screenshots of Soldier of fortune or other games showing peoples mutilated I suspect you would get the same king of warning very fast.

You are just being dishonest here, please post the link, found on Gog, of any explicit images related to those games.
