Vainamoinen: @ GOG : Can we just ban the whataboutist putinist propagandists with their pathetic "we're just selectively killing the nazis in Ukraine" bullshit and have their posts removed? Chances are, they can't buy from you any longer anyway soon.
Sure. This is so in your style to "cancel" people who disagree with you. Western values, big deal.

donating directly is fine and all but "red cross" seems to be one of the worse choices...

it's annoying but after certain non-communist games got banned for being "political", i rather fight for free speech here and in videogames?

2 wrongs don't make a right.

I have no desire to buy the game, not did I have any relatives or friends in Ukraine.

I do have friends in Finland and Sweden which Putin just threatened to start a nuclear war over if they decide (which, as far as I know, the majority has not been wanting to vote in favor of before this, so I don't know why he'd even go out on making these types of threats) on certain things or make certain choices.

Who in their right mind thinks that this is even an acceptable solution. Using Nuclear weapons should NEVER be something that is thought of as an option. That is PUTIN making that choice.

My only hope is that Ukraine can show the world the evil of what Russia is doing so that Russia never gets the chance to do what they are threatening. Only a madman decides that using nuclear weapons is the way to get what he wants.

Doesn't he realize that will destroy Russia along with everyone else if he starts one!?

So, I bought the game and showed my support for Ukraine right now. I hate that this is happening. I hate that Ukraine is suffering. I hate that Russian and Ukraine soldiers, many that are still teenagers, are fighting and dying for someone else's war. Many haven't even really gotten to experience life before dying for a cause that they may never even understand. Some are dying to defend a homeland they love (Ukraine) while others are dying because they were ordered to die (many of the Russian soldiers) making many of their mothers losing children before their time. I hope this ends soon and that all those that need help can get the help they need.

Personally speaking, I don't bught the game to support Ukraine, I do it to support the people that is trying to help, I'm not happy with this conflict or any conflict, no the several conflict USA is involved or the conflict between Israel and Palestina, niether this one between Ukraine and Russia, I don't see the point of soldiers killing each others just because somebody order them to do that, or the ppor civilians that has nothing to do with the conflict, yet they see involved in all this shit. I really hope this end up soon and we see a solution for all this thing, I have Russian friends that are struggling after twk year of the pandemic shit and now they see this, and all the people from Ukraine that have to abandoned their homes to be safe.
If you are an user from Russia or Ukraine and you are reading this, I hope you are safe and well, I hope your beloved people are safe too and comeback to home soon.

I believe Nuclear weapon case can be justified used if say already at war and crunching the numbers find the odds are using such a weapon of mass destruction would result in most likily the least amount of lives lost on both sides if not using such a thing .. but otherwise no justifying it at least in my current view of such things .. Not trying to get political or be for any war or weapons factor just saying if the call is made because after varies figures and checks done show constantly far less loss of lives would likely result from using such a thing rather then not using such.. It would be reasonable and justifiable in such cases ..

Edited do to typos and one odd auto correct error

This is a disturbing and dangerous trend. I hope GOG doesn't give in to these lunatics.
The western imperialists already have a near monopoly on world affairs; what harm could possibly come from pointing that out? (I mean, aside from them sicking the cops to crack our skulls in the streets)

igrok: I don't have a problem with the Red Cross and support them (although I wish they noticed the war has been going on since 2014 and civilians have been killed all that time). The problem is with GOG - which is a private company selling games - when it instead openly embraces one side of the conflict and engages in political propaganda in its tweets (please add this to the long list of their dumbest decisions). Of course, I respect people who will disagree with me and I don't want to force my opinion on them in any way. I am just saying that personally I will no longer spend my money here.
Yes, in my case I don't consider it particularly bad or like it is propaganda, like you said GOG is a private corporation but they are based on Poland, which currently is being affected by the on going war for all the refugees that arrive from Ukraine, it's not like they choose a side, is more like the side choose them. Apart from that no invasion to a foreign country is legit are sovereign and like you said there is an on going civil war, but that is not a real threat to Russia, and offense never is a real defense.
It's a shame that this war is just separating all of us, for what it seems you are a respected and beloved user here, yet now you are considering leave this forum, for what? Some stupid tweets that should have never existed in the first place? For the senseless discussions and hatred that is in the forum in this days?
I'm quite new here, but I found a great place here, full of good people that I like to consider friends, franckly I don't know you particularly, but you sound like a reasonable person and it would be a pitty have to lose you for something that we don't ever choose, being effected for something that is not about games that is what we all agree and care for, you now, the real important shit, we may be from different countries arround the world but we all are gamers and that is themoat important thing :)

You are wrong my friend. There is nothing bad in supporting refugees. They need help and care. Who is right or wrong - time will show it.

Lexor: This thread is NOT about discounts, it is about supporting the Red Cross.
Even if you do not see any discounts it still means the profit the supporter has will go to this cause.
If you pay more then you support more.
Over 120k fled to "evil" side. I made the post how to support them, here is it: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/support_the_refuges_of_shelling_from_kiew_in_donbass

Here is a direct link of Red Cross "Evil" (official) to support East Ukrainians fleeing from war:

"The recent invasion on Ukraine, our friends and neighbours, left us shocked and outraged.

In solidarity with all victims of this act of aggression, the CD PROJEKT Group has decided to support humanitarian aid efforts by donating 1 million PLN to the @PAH_org.
We cannot remain indifferent in the face of such injustice and we ask everybody to join in and help in any way you can. Together we can make a huge difference!"

The game's good, no matter your political stance and which sort of rancid bullshit spewed forth from mass media outlets you subscribe to.

KillingMoon: Brainwashing is as repugnant and cruel to the human spirit as war and its attrocities.
Brainwashing is the root of this chain of atrocities. One people was brainwashed for years that they're two different, and even so, there would be no harm in a peaceful split, but they were brainwashed even harder to deathly hate one another - by same scum that gleefully exploited, abused and robbed both. As new taxes and tolls were invented, as old climbed higher and higher, as freedoms and citizen's due privileges were restricted and taken away whole, they pointed and said: "Look at him, focus all your attention on him! This is your enemy, he wishes you ill, he is the cause of all your woes and misfortunes, he's why your lot is getting worse and worse!"

Chasmancer: "Look at him, focus all your attention on him! This is your enemy, he wishes you ill, he is the cause of all your woes and misfortunes, he's why your lot is getting worse and worse!"
There are media outlets and then there is historical reality. If said "enemy" didn't have the habit of creating breakaway regions whenever it suited its agenda, then we'd maybe treat the current situation more seriously and not as "oh, look, yet another bunch of Russian-backed breakaway republics with proposals for a federalized state and Russian troop presence for "safeguarding". It's been done before, it's in the history books.

Name one other state in the world which supports breakaway regions and sends its military there to "ensure peace", please enlighten us... Note that I'm not a fan of American "diplomacy" of recent years either and perhaps they have done more wrong in the world than Putin's regime, but let's not whitewash wrongs or demonize anyone. At least the US is stupidly blatant about their wars and does not pretend they are not wars, regardless of legitimacy and the idiotic justifications they provide.
