BadDecissions: Maybe some people are being a little precious about this, but it does feel like GOG’s botched this whole thing pretty badly; mainly because they want the money from selling adult games, but also seem desperately embarrassed to be doing it. If they’d made an announcement telling us how excited they were to be adding adult games to their catalogue, but also they understand that it’s not for everyone, and people who don’t want to see it can opt out of it, that would have probably avoided a lot of very pointless arguments.
And now that they are selling adult games, they still can’t stand to talk about it. Exhibit 1, this release thread. How important is the porn to the game? That is, how complete is the game without it? Is it happy, consensual stuff or is there rape? Is the sex censored? It is in a lot of Japanese games, and the publisher specializes in translating Japanese games, but the game page talks about “native English” so maybe this isn’t actually a Japanese game. Are there any fetishes that people might find off-putting? This would be useful for any potential buyer to know, but GOG is too shy to talk about it; instead we get a brief note that “This Game may contain content not appropriate for all ages or may not be appropriate for viewing at work.” Thanks for telling us absolutely nothing.
Incidentally, it looks like GOG isn’t announcing its adult game releases Twitter. Which is extremely goofy, and supports the image of a company that’s terribly embarrassed to be doing this.
Aside from the filters, Steam doesn't even do that. They don't tell what kind of things are in their adult games. Reviewers do point it out, but that's not the platform's job, it's the buyers job to look it up. There are reviews everywhere for this kind of stuff. Hell, I write them myself. If I tell you what kind of sex this has, you buy it and you're upset with it even after I told you blatantly what kind of sex scenes are in the thing, then you would be a damn fool. That's why I write reviews in the first place. Start reading reviews before you buy games in general. Don't be ignorant. I've saved money by not buying bad ports because I read reviews for them prior to purchasing the game.
Start doing that. It's a Google search away.
"Detective Girl Of The Steam City Review"
"... some scenes of rape..."
Well, there you go. Might want to save your money and wait for the next game GOG releases. Is it burning a hole in your pockets? Do you have to spend money here everyday? If you don't want your money, I'd definitely take it.
Nope. You just give it the old review, say "nah, not my thing" and you go on about your day. I'm sorry GOG only releases like two games a day if we're lucky and they're not what you want.
*A while back, there was this Russian band Tatu. No straight man can watch their music videos without getting a hard on. Band was insanely popular world wide despite that their music was utter garbage. Sex sells inferior products.*
"All The Things She Said" was pretty popular in my country, but I prefer the death metal version. I think Biomechanical did it. They weren't that hot though, at least to me. And I'm straight. This is another one of your problems sir, you assumed that no straight man couldn't get an erection. I mean, I never did. I was always into like Tracy Lords, Pam Anderson, Jenna Jameson, then you have the Texas Fifty, most of them are actually fifty these days though, haha.
And we can talk about the pop industry. Clearly they use sex to sell it, but it sells better than any other form of music. Hip hop is right now the most popular form of music here in the US and there is a lot of sex in the videos, the songs and all of it. But it sells more than anything else, even music one would consider higher quality. These artists go platinum and diamond now. While the music that doesn't sell with the sex doesn't do very well at all. Think about what gets awards these days - sex. So by that notion, you are calling billion dollar artists inferior even though sales would not say that in any way, shape, nor form.
