I sent a message to support, urging gog to reconsider.

You should too!

Fucking Twitter is exploding about this.
A tweet I made at GOG about this has hit almost a thousand likes
(I am tooting my own horn. TOOT TOOT)

Actually sent in a letter of complaint, don't know the chances of someone reading it but I've never really done that before.

Done.

That is true. But only the GoG release was delayed in the end. (After said legal issues were sorted)

There's a touch of cosmic irony in this happening on the same day as the New Colossus release. Resisting would-be global overlords is the kind of thing that only happens in video games these days.

Some of the old-timers among us may remember that time when Gog would not have minded comparing someone to Winnie the Pooh.

The entry for message #9 has aged really well, don't you think?

Someone should GOG send a spine for xmas.

nevermind

I urge people to send messages of support to the small Taiwanese developer Red Candle Games which only wanted to get their game out to the masses... which will not happen due to this.

Seriously, to hell with you GOG.

So what have we learned about GOG:

Incompetent biased curators.
No communication with fans and/or deliberate ignoring of them
Woefully inept forum code.
Arrogant moderators.
Gutless staff.
Fired a staff member due to ResetEra screechers.
Repetitive, mundane sales.
Throws DRM free principles under a bus for Epic.
No attempts made at offline installer parity with Galaxy users.
No parity clause with other platforms.
Complicit in No Man's Sky's DRM'd content.
Locks content in Cyberpunk behind the internet.

And now, bows before China and blames gamers for it.

Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe what GOG has become.

You had better reconsider this move, this is not going to end well for you unless you're actually trying to tank your business.

Honestly the thing that baffle me the most in all this stupid situation is how ???? Gog are very good at shooting themselves in the foot, but here it takes a special kind of talent.

Like I said, if they were afraid to "offend" china they should have simply refused the game and nobody would have ever known anything. But to accept, list the game, and then remove it with a couple of hours with some dumb justification....

Maybe it's some sort of very clever PR strategy to try to take some heat away from the CDPR.

I wonder who's in charge of PR now. I don't remember seeing elcook on the forum in a long time.

Again be sure that you are contacting GOG directly about your dissatisfaction over this, the chances of someone seeing the forum thread is rather low.

Hit there Twitter account, contact support, send E-mail, any other form of social media, make your voice heard.

It's insane how much a cartoon bear can shake companies and a county to their core
