As somebody who is also in a country where the president is a fucking retard, I simpathize with the Russians being affected by this situation. But it's Ukranians that are suffering the most and GOG has the right to make a political statement when a war breaks out right next to their home turf

TheNamelessOne_PL: Disagreed. Their country has been invading other countries for centuries. They hardly deserve pity.

darthspudius: By that reasoning, ban ALL Americans and ALL British.
And all Spaniards, and all French, and all Japanese, and all Germans, etc.

Ban everyone.


It is a nonsense for GOG to close threads in the forum in a regular basis, using the excuse of people touching political topics, and then see GOG creating a thread about politics themselves, to close it soon after.

amok: AFAIK I don't have any Russians as part of my community. Neither are you, first time I see you. Then again, my community so far has a member count of 1

KetobaK: Well, it's really lonely to be you, but I will stand, discriminating in the 21th century is a really fuck it up thing. After all this years I interacted with several Russian users and many of them help me with problems I had in more than one occasion, GOG Community and forum is not a political or war territory, so I won't tolerate this kind of things.
it is not descrimination if i threat everyone the same

KetobaK: My previous thread was censored.
I stood up for our Russian Users friend, those who take part in the forum for years, people that help many other users and always were kind with everybody. Think is not fair to punish them because the simple fact that this users are not part of the war, they are just splitting our community for not reason, that excuse that taxes revenue will go to war is not true, after SWIFT Bank restrictions most users couldn't purchase games anyway, so what is the point of divide our community? Of discriminate users that were part of this community for years? Let's not make GOG Community part of the war!

The only reason your country didn't is because the only thing you sad kurwas have been capable of invading in the past couple of centuries are British toilets, after the rightful pacification by Russia.

Also gog can suck my dick, won't ever buy anything in this shithole.

Sorry but your putin has chosen to go to war with the whole world. I'm not surprised the world isolate you.
If you change president and stop war then you will be part of the community again.

One things for sure this isn't a friendly place anymore, better tread on eggshells because GOG will ban all users from a nation if it doesn't like them...no appeal or anything, your games aren't safe and no matter what you have contributed to the community according to gog you can just f-off.
I fail to see the point in excluding our fellow Russian gamers for choices of their shitty government. Most of them feel probably bad enough already without even having a chance to influence that political situation. It should be made clear that they as individuals are, unlike their head of state, welcomed among friends.

Blame the leaders; not the people. 'specially not those that wish as hard that this shit never had happened as the rest of the sane world.

I'm sad for those russian citizens who were never pro-Putin, but unfortunately for the EU there wasn't any other choice than using sanctions against Russia.

Gog team, let me give you one example:
"China has been accused of committing crimes against humanity and possibly genocide against the Uyghur population and other mostly-Muslim ethnic groups in the north-western region of Xinjiang."

So, why are you still selling games in Сhina?
Do you really think separating people with stupid restrictions(halt all sales in Russia and Belarus) is a good idea?
Do you really believe that all Russians and Belarusians want war?

I don't like Putin like many others and the war sucks so fuck that but russians and belarussians have been screwed over pretty hard by his invasion, not as bad as ukrainians but still so i don't see this wisdom or agree with suspending sales of games in those countries.

I wouldn't want to be the one to push for change as the headline in theat thread said against an authoritarian where protesting is met with arrests, i kind of wish they would they change their suspension to their own charity or something instead and games could be a decent distraction against all shit thats going on.

Let's hope this war is over soon and it ends the best for all parties involved.

WinterSnowfall: The situation is rather unfortunate and ultimately won't make much of a difference to Putin and his regime... but neither will getting yourself banned be any good.
Don't worry, they cannot legally ban me, the other thread was arbitrary closed, I wasn't talking about any political statement, harassed, insult or discriminated anybody in that thread and neither does in this one. Just defend Ruasian Users from discrimination, in that case GOG should ban GOG itself XD
I don't think cutting off Russia from Western media is a particularly good idea. It simply builds resentment for the West while allowing Putin's propaganda machine to continue to churn unopposed. We should be flooding Russia with Western media and showing them a different point of view. Instead we are cutting off all lines of communication and isolating them utterly. I suspect that won't work out the way a lot of people think it will.

Can't get past Putin's censorship anyway. This is meant to make the ruling class turn on him.

Why don't you stand for Ukrainians people who are being invaded? Sorry but a temporary inability to buy new games on gog is nothing in comparison to the bombs that fall on the Ukrainians.
True discrimination is what happens in reality.
Instead of complaining to gog, the russians should unite against that crazy putin for peace.

PS. Usually I'm not for punishing people for actions of their government but here the alternative is a WWIII and that's not joke at all so russians should really act. There is no time to lose.
