Of course they're anti-free speech. Evil is everywhere.

Just like I cannot put the retard Pheace in an Ignore sack and forget it.
Can't do simple reasoning and there's like many of them across the forums.
With this there is a point that GoG is against free speech, also auto scanning curse words and forbidding post even.

What about a Manchurian zombie puppet squatting, along with all its fellow grifters, in the WH? Not to mention all its puppet-masters like Barry O. Not sure Tsar Putrid in The Kremlin is any worse. The El Salvador leader is my kinda hard-ass with cartel murderous POS. We'd administer the firing squad to the whole mangy lot of 'em. QED.

I've just reported your post for breaking forum rules.

No forum is free from moderation. The ones which are, you don't want to visit.

And every forum moderation goes too far at some point, or not enough at other times.

I can give you an example: on October 20th 2022, I posted on this thread:

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/contest_jailhouse_stock_e9262/page2

for the anniversary of the contest, saying that it was ridiculous and illegal that the contest was unresolved, and that GOG was continuing to breach the self-set terms and conditions of its contests.

The post was deleted and the thread was locked without any comment or message.

So don't tell me GOG is any better than Steam.

Free speech means that your government can't sanction you for your speech (i.e. put you in jail or have you shoot for what you are saying, which do happen in countries without free speech). That's all.

If you are in my house and start talking badly about my mother, I am going to throw you out - and that is not an attack on your free speech.

Quit trolling.At least I hope you are. Such stupid arguments can't be made seriously. You talk about straw men, while failing to understand what that is, and present a gigantic straw man of your own. I'll humor you.
1: This is GOG's house. It is not owned by the US government, nor is it able to restrict your free speech. This is a private forum on a private site. Freedom of speech specifically applies to the government's ability to chill speech. GOG nor Steam are the US government.

2. Discrimination only applies to specific protected classes. Outside those protected classes, you can deny service to anyone you choose for any reason. This means if I don't like red hats, I can deny service or entry to anyone wearing a red hat. If I don't like people who drive Chevy, I can make that a policy. If I don't like people who talk about certain topics, I'm not required to entertain them. Perhaps you should understand the US constitution and Anti-discrimination laws before citing them.

apart from what paladin181 said, that this is not a breach of either freedom od speech or discrimination - keep also in mind that the civil rights act and the first amendment is USA law only, other countries have other laws. gOg is a Polish company, so follow Polish law.

(I remember a funny SovCit video, where an Irish driver was trying to use the sixth amendment as a reason why he did not need a driving license when driving in Irland :))

You ask too much from these people.
They don't want to understand how "free speech" and "discrimination" actually work.
Because then they could not use these words anymore to support their causes.
For the same reason, they also don't want to understand why there are laws against libel and slander, when there' s this awesome thing called "Freedom of Speech", which - according to them - means they can say whatever they want, with zero consequences.
One of these days, these people are up for a rough awakening.

Now this is such a weird result of the cultural zeitgeist originating from Hollywood and US television airing beyond it's borders, some people know more concepts about the law from United States(without understanding them) than laws in their own countries.

It's fucking hilarious to see a Swede talk about not wanting to pay taxes to the IRS

"Dractonian" sounds like something concerning dragons.

It does, but it actually comes from a 700bc Athenian law writer called Draco. While dragon comes from Greek drakōn, which means serpent. it is just one of those coincidences

It's also spelt "Draconian".

As others have said. I don't see a problem here. The developers also might ban you for talking politics too and that would be well within their rights Though they could ban you because they ran out of coffee in the morning and yours was the first name they saw and that would be within their rights as well.

Many developers understandably see anti-DRM as piracy talk. I would prefer they let such conversations happen myself. But there is absolutely nothing to get outraged about here.

Now if you got banned because a moderator ran out of coffee and saw your name first,(and you had some way of knowing that) I will uselessly commiserate with you.
