B1tF1ghter: Keep in mind tho that external server hosting the patch could be brought down at any moment in time and so GOG version could someday become non-uncensorable due to that.
Physical server infrastructure fails, mistakes happen, domain owners change, really a lot of things happen that could make the patch unreachable at really any point in time.

Gersen: Too bad nobody invented a way to keep files locally without having to re-download them every time, some sort of offline backup, "offline installers" or something like that...
If you mean:
1."once you download you don't have to redownload so 'it's not a problem'".
No. Actually that's the whole point. My point was about the fact that you have to go to a website outside of control of company selling game to obtain the patch.
There is countless ways this could go wrong, ranging from the website getting hacked and patch being replaced with malicious one (not unreasonable, definitely not that uncommon) through things such as "maintanance" as well as "domain holder forgot to renew the domain, someone used the time to obtain it thus the address changed but many people did not find the new one so they got locked out" all the way to "natural disaster happened / a-bunch-of-raging-anti-hentais-raided-server-room-and-physically-destroyed-servers and we subsequently lost possibility to host it".
The point is, the website is totally independent from GOG and thus is outside of jurisdiction of GOG.
Also, what about versioning, what if the patch would be updated and only the latest version would be hosted publicly?
What then? You would effectively be artificially forced to run the most recent version of the game to use the patch.

Not EVERYBODY has to buy the game TODAY and download the patch TODAY.
The website could stop hosting the file at any moment. Even human error (such as refactoring website and forgetting to fix broken link) could result in it.
My point is, IF the file would someday stop being hosted, say in few years, then there would no longer be any official source for it (assuming there wouldn't be a new one made) and at that point good luck obtaining the patch "from unofficial sources" while being 100% certain that it wasn't tampered with.

2.If you mean "it should just be an extra or free DLC offline installer on GOG".
Well yes. "Too bad the company in question (GOG) doesn't seem to care".

B1tF1ghter: If it's allright in your view to buy a crippled version of the game and rely on EXTERNAL server then it's entirely your choice.

PaterAlf: That's what backups are for. You know, the thing you normally do with your DRM-free games, so they are not lost when a server or a whole service is brought down. And there's absolutely no problem to backup the uncensor-patch filetogether with the installer.
My entire point isn't about storage, which would be needed for base game anyway, just about OBTAINMENT.
Yes, theoretically it's not a problem to back it up. BUT that assumes you actually managed to obtain it.
And indie game websites aren't going to be live forever, even official ones.
In 10-15 years the patch may no longer be live.
Anybody who did not obtain it in that time would have to obtain if from "unofficial sources" with no guarantee it's vanilla untouched file.

fronzelneekburm: Top kuk! Itz region locked for realz!

I'm starting to see why gog would release a censored version then - though I would much prefer if they simply region locked it for Krauts (and any other regions where selling the uncut version would be a problem) and sold the uncensored version in the rest of the world (just like they do with pretty much every other game on the German index) - if Germans want to get the game, they could still do so through gifting.
avatar
MarkoH01: Exactly what I expected ... so no humble for me and GOG it is because at least they did not block it completely (since there is the option of uncensoring I prefer this to blocking it completely) and if you ask me this uncensor patch will be shared like wildfire and if I should ever lose one of my copys I just will have to ask somebody here ... chances are that I'll die beforenot having access to the patch anymore :)
I mean... If you feel confident enough that some random on the internet "totally has the original unmodified file" based just on said random's words...
I don't see checksums on the official website. So, you know, until they show up you have NO idea if the file you are downloading from "unofficial source" is indeed unmodified.

So for preservation sake to at least somewhat alleviate my above desribed issues I went ahead and saved the file in webarchive :D

GOG for whatever reason cuts everything before the last https in links (that or deliberately criples archive org links) so you have to manually copy paste the archive org link as otherwise by merely clicking on it GOG forum software will strip everything before last https and guide you directly to live site instead of backup

Right. Regional locking sucks. In that case, a bit of (avoidable) censoring and 8 cents don't really matter.

B1tF1ghter: It's nowhere near like it was in the first one - when the decensor file was needed on EVERY pc distribution platform - in this case it's needed ONLY ON GOG.

DreamedArtist: So the dev got lucky on steam?
[...]
No, it is becuase adult games are hidden on Steam, unless you allow it to be shown. AFAIk you can also put on family filters. gOg, on the other hand, has no gateing for content.

There are quite a few games on Steam now which are very adult. such as the Madmind studio games (Agony Unrated and Succubus), Movie Games next game (Lust from beyond), Acting Leassons, Being a DIK and many more. As long as you now go behind the 'Adult Only' curtain on Steam, you can find many.... interesing?.... things.

Edit - to see if your Steam account allows adult content, try this link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/985830/Succubus/

Since when are things blocked in Germany for sexual content (the game is marked as adult only)? Are there any new laws? Usually blocking is enforced for violence only.

Yeah, afaik by default the "adult only" tagged titles are filtered off.
All these ACTUAL porn (not to be confused with hentai) games aren't "in your face all over the store" by default which makes me cringe when "some" people in this thread say their "entire Steam pages are filled with porn" - I mean, lol - it's entirely responsibility of such person to set the settings to not default and let that happen :P

uhm you forgot one point
You forgot that Gog itself can go down
Making the uncencor patch existing here a moot point
If gog goes down getting the patch here and lets not forget about the game as well
the process of obtaining them here woud then be rather hard

also , there are cases when a game is removed from here for whatever reason
and i imagine such patches woud go with as well in those cases
and there are also cases when gog Post links to external sites with mods
so isnt it almost the same thing here in this case?
If youre talking about convienience then i agre with you.
It woud be esyer for custommers to get the patch here while gog still exist or the game is still here.

TomNuke: So it's "woke" now to not want to directly sell pornography on your store front? It's not nudity here. It's hardcore pornographic nudity. It's not "softcore" or anything that you might see in regular games, here or on console. It's hardcore depictions of sexual content. Very different.

GOG had the thread pinned on the HuniePop forum telling people how to uncensor the game. So how is that them being woke or having issue with people playing or uncensoring the game if they're going out of their way to do that?

Not wanting to start selling pornography on GOG is a business decision. Ask the fine folks from Germany how that's working for them on Steam. I already see people wishing they'd have just sold the censor version there, so they could at least access the page, buy the game, and easily uncensor it with the patch.

It's a simple patch procedure to uncensor. You'll get achievements on GOG eventually, and you'll be supporting a good store.

Look at the disaster Steam has turned into since they stopped caring about curation and just decided to let whoever dump whatever crap they want on Steam. It's filled with porno games now, and not even good ones at that. That's one of the main reasons I've abandoned Steam.

I wouldn't be against GOG selling a few uncensored adult games here. Like the best of the best, but I wouldn't want anymore than that. And only if it wouldn't cause problems for them.

Really Steam is the last place you should be buying those games from anyways. Buy them from the actual stores that specialize in hentai / porn content. If you're a fan of those kinds of games you don't actually help that industry by doing the whole "no Steam - no buy" shtick. Steam isn't going to fight for you and those kinds of games, or anything that might damage them. They're not a hentai store (despite what it might seem like now), and they'd drop all of it in a heartbeat, and start banning all that stuff if it started to affect them negatively.
I don't know how it is in this game, but the first one it was just pictures of women in positions (which didn't show any character other than the woman). The Witcher 3 actually haad sex, with movement.

Could someone who has a friend who bought this game kindly answer this question about Polly? Obviously some people will see this question more important than others.

Except I didn't (forget that point).
My point was precisely that GOG as a distribution platform has arguably better durability of their server infrastructure and it's harder to bring down GOG than some small external website sitting on Apache server hosted by some obscure corpo hosting a bunch of small-traffic sites and with domain name set to expire in around 4 months ( https://www.wmtips.com/tools/info/huniepot.com ).
Probably even casual distributed denial of service would bring this website down whereas GOG could MAYBE survive longer (I say maybe because I have seen GOG services go to sh*t in the past during giveaways but that indicates more of infrastructure not being ready for load and not neccesarily actual DoS protections).

If it would be in extras you would still be able to access it if the game store page would be brought down.
And if it would be free DLC - well - as long as you obtained the DLC before all that got brought down you would still be able to access it's installer.

avatar
Lodium: and there are also cases when gog Post links to external sites with mods

If there are official GOG posts linking to modding sites then GOG is stepping on paper thin ice.
What digital distribution company would in their right mind link to website ENTIRELY outside of their control that may host ANYTHING, INCLUDING illegal, distasteful and malicious content?
Such behaviour is nuts and should not be seen as "this is fine" denominator in regards to relying on external websites to host what effectively should be present in game's extras.

EDIT:
you know what I just realized my mistake (thanks to two different things (????) being hosted on same address depending if www is present or not and since nosrcipt strips it in "check this domain" I got different result first - which normally wouldn't be a problem [because normally only one website is on the address regardless if www is present or not, most domain owners are sane enough to ensure that] - but I guess in this case it's a bit of wtf moment).
The website server obviously is not exactly on Apache.
So here is my correction. Gomenasai.
But my point on obscure corpo and low-traffic (thus likely not much DDoS protections) remains.

Because there's sexual content and then there's SEXUAL content.
Meaning that showing bare breasts/nipples and primary sexual characteristics (male and female, during full frontal nudity for instance) is still A-OK (in Germany at least), but when it comes to erect peckers, spread vages, insertion of objects or actual penetration on display it would generally count as pornography (not just in Germany but everywhere else as well) and as such would need to be rated differently.

I wonder as well why this is blocked in Germany? There's never been a problem with sexual content in games here and as far as I know there hadn't been any new laws. Can also still buy all other erotic games on Steam and other shops. So blocking this one doesn't make a lot of sense and I doubt it is really neccessary.

Some of the still images (in their original uncensored form) you're rewarded with likely depict spreading of the vages (dripping with bodily fluids) or inserting of digits/objects into other cavities as well, which should count as pornography, even in Germany.

That's usually rated P16 in Germany, at least for movies.

As far as I understand it that's what rating P18 in Germany is for (which fits as the game has a P18 rating according to GOG's game card) and usually not a reason for being illegal or completely banned.

But I'm not an expert and just was curious if something has changed in German laws lately which I've missed.

So apparently other games I also would classify as porn are not blocked and for me it still isn't clear why Hunipop 2 is blocked. Perhaps blocking it might indeed not be necessary.
