Okay, but are these really likely to sell better than some of the games GOG has rejected? Maybe but I find it hard to believe. Maybe these were supposed to be released in June but there was a hold-up.

I don't know what anyone is "offended" by, I just think those games look like utter shit, cheap flash mini-games collections.

Not my kind of thing, but GOG sells a lot of things that aren't my thing. I usually manage not to freak out about it though.

Telling people to go out of their comfort zone while simultaneously begging for censorship for things you don't like.

Not what I think of "dating sims".

This just looks plain weird.

I don't know this game not my type but Kitty Powers? That name rings a bell ... Was he - or is it she? (no offense) co-host or participant in that youtube show RuPaul's Drag Race? Something the all-knowing YT algorithm suggested as result for a totally different search, though was funny, so. :-D

On a side-note such shows are the best advertisement for diversity. No activism and social media terror of a small number of people with large numbers of bots and some real followers towards anyone not wanting to do with any of it. That's also part of democracy that not everyone must like what the other person does or accept anything and everything AND saying so. That's not me, just saying. I accept many things not discriminating against, except social media terror and proselytism. Can't have that, never will have it. ;-)

I don't condone hatred, sue me.

Compare the comparable or don't even bother.

The ship has sailed long ago, as it were.

Edit: Actually there are several, but I can't remember all of them. There's also this:

My tired eyes initially read this as "polytheism" and I was about to strike you down with Mjölnir :P.

We got this instead of Fearmonium?

Really? Eh, maybe we'll get Ender Lillies.

It look's like a flash game. Seeing GOG release a weird game like this, but not all the Tomb raiders makes me sad.

My two cents: I actually knew this one. I haven't played it but some years ago I watched a video of someone else playing. The author used it as a mean for comedy. This is one game that I would usually ignore because I don't care about the genre but I can still get something from it by watching another person play. It didn't make me want to buy the game but it gave me some laughs.

Anyway, the more variety the better. I wouldn't expect or even want GOG to have only games that I like. Better to have something for everyone.

Usually if GOG is releasing a game some don't like, I think to myself (and often express this as well) - "well, it might not be for everybody and maybe not for me as well... but some really must like the game because why would they release it here? They are the marketing guys and they should know." Then I look in the release thread and see myself confirmed reading several positive comments about it. However this time I read the release thread and it really does not seem as if the community actually waited for those games or is happy that they are here. Makes me wonder if the people in the forum really are (as it is often said) just a vocal minority or if GOG smply made the wrong decision here. Time will tell.

Dating Sims can be a lot of fun though. Sure, you can always go on a real date, but people also like to play Basketball and Football games, even though they can play those in real life with friends.

I'm not much into this kind of dating sim, but stuff like Huniepop can be fun because you don't have to worry about saying the wrong shit. If you do that on a real date, you may not only end the date, you may get hit in the jaw as well. Also, some women, if not many these days, are not as happy or agreeable as the characters in the game. Real life means that you're spending a lot more money on a person for what is basically sex at the end of the day, rather than paying a small amount for a fun game. I have to agree, dating is just a form of prostitution these days. You're not paying for the meal, you're paying for the sex.

If you're old, you won't get it. But here in the west, it's basically hookup culture now. People paying other people for sex in the guise of food. Tinder really started that.

So yeah, I like the fun dating sim games that don't require me to pay all kinds of money to bang a woman that is not interested in me anyway. As far as this one goes though, I can't say it's my thing.

I'm an American in my mid-20s, yet that's honestly one of the reasons why I do not care for the fact that these sorts of games exist and Tinder can fly face-first into a black hole for all I care. It's one of several things in our ridiculous society that has completely decimated the value in intimacy and romantic relationships.

I get the escapism aspect and I don't doubt that these sorts of games might help a person increase their charisma when dating but at the same time, who would actually pay for that? That'd be like me paying for a game where literally all you do is swing a sword just because I want to get into something like HEMA: it may be fun for practice but I definitely wouldn't pay anything for it, especially not when full-featured games such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance have sword gameplay alongside a bunch of other elements that actually make the product worth a purchase.

But I guess it's one of those "to each their own" situations. I definitely don't get it but meh, grown adults are free to spend and/or waste their money however they wish.

The fact the other Tomb Raider aren't here has F all to do with GoG (other than being DRM free store). Piotr Karwowski isn't telling Square Enix "No we don't want those game here"

I want the TR game here.

How about petitioning the people that CAN do something about it!
