fronzelneekburm: Wow, dat wishlist! :o
This could potentially be game-changing for GOG. Even if they release it and it turns out to be complete shit, the buyers could simply abuse the 30 day money back garantuee. Which would doubly prove to everyone that GOG is teh awesum!
All the eyes are on GOG now,
not releasing this would be a PR disaster.
P1na: How so? GOG rejects games every day. It's more curated than steam.
Getting pulled from greenlight is news, not making it into GOG... hardly.
Exactly. All the more newsworthy since this pseudo-controversial edge-fest is apparently in hot demand.
GOG can send a message here: "We give the audience what they want! Fuck the haters, it's only pixels anyway!". It's a golden opportunity, handed on a golden plate! Missing out on that chance because of 2curated4u would reflect really, REALLY badly on GOG, it would piss away all that goodwill.
Jonesy89: And releasing it could also be a PR nightmare in its own right. I only heard of this game when I googled GOG and saw that all the prominent news results mentioned the game and GOG's comments about carrying it; the stories didn't paint a pleasant picture of the game thanks to the trailer and the dev's wanktastic comments. Can you imagine how much more coverage and how much more intense that coverage would be if GOG started carrying it?
See above. "We give the audience what they want! Free speech, motherfuckers! It also covers the stuff you don't like. No one's forcing you to buy it! It's only pixels anyway!" Completely ignore what the pissant games media, SJW twitterati and "critical analysis"-pundits say, they will bitch and moan regardless. Let Jonathan McIntosh and company wank off over how "problematic" this game is while the butthurt Steamtard-$$$ rolls in.
Whatever media shitstorm might arise from a GOG release, it will calm down in no time. Just ignore these idiots and they will run out of steam - heh! - and look for another scapegoat.
