Im not interested in the game; feels like a German guilt simulator and ww2 was a long time ago. But hey the devs. want it here and some people are willing to buy it on gog so....might as well add it. It's not like gog is bursting with games coming out at the moment.

After watching a bit of the "Gameplay" trailer, I have to say this may be interesting in some sense as an educational tool for schools, etc....but I wouldn't want to purchase it to "play" it.
Not because of the topic, but simply because there doesn't seem to be much of an actual game (in the sense of something to play).

It reminds me of this one:

An interactive 20 minute viewing experience, as the devs call it themselves.
Interesting to view...but only because it was free.
In all honesty - if I would have had to pay for it - I would have saved the money for something else.

Not much different from what could be considered a visual novel.
And since gog is distributing those now too as of late it'd be only fair if an educational one with a serious subject for a change could be sold here as well.

It looks like an academics idea of how to leverage video gaming to tell their stories. Their stories I'm sure are important. But that doesn't make it a good game. And it doesn't look like a good game to me.

No word from the devs yet if it has been resubmitted for a GOG release though.

No thanks. First nazi symbols in a game released in Germany is not a good reason for GOG to carry a game.

I would buy it just for the sake of it...

It will be a footnote in a history of gaming somewhere.

Its not even the first:

Its the first under the new laws though, but not the first to display nazi symbols there.

Checking the Steam reviews, the game looks solid. Won plenty of awards too. Since GoG has already dived into the world of Visual Novels, this one might be worth publishing!

I'd imagine that most of the GOG staff are also game testers. Hopefully each game is overviewed by multiple people, and not just a single person for multiple games. They go through each submission and play the game for several hours. If the game is engaging, and bug free, the submission would then be considered by other people, who study the potential monetary value of each game. I'm certain there's a more descriptive term than that, but my vocabulary fails me now.

If it just so happens that the game doesn't resonate with the people who tested it, or has bugs, or is considered too niche for the GOG audience, I think would result in a too generic, yet still harsh, response: "the game didn't match their requirements for selection" "the game is too niche for GOG". I said it before, I think GOG needs to work on their communication skills when they refuse a submission. Human brain is wired to feel bad about failure and rejection, to also feel unjustly dismissed only makes one angry/bitter.

I hate it that I keep reading about games being rejected, and the developers expressing less than amicable thoughts about their interaction with GOG. I think I'm becoming jaded about this.

EDIT: About Gemcraft, I played the game on Kongregate(when it first came out), I got it on STEAM(from one of those cheap Fanatical bundles), and I would most likely get it here too. The problem is that I think I would only replay it if had Galaxy achievements. That would be the only thing that would get me to replay it.

About Attentat 1942, that is not a game I'd play, but I believe it would have its public, if release on GOG.

Maybe, but having lived with this ridiculous censorship for decades, for me it feels like an achievement.
