Vendor-Lazarus: Where is the logic in allowing political posts/promo's/bundles/sales/etc, then removing, banning or locking the obvious discussion that follows?
Anothername: Just guessing but I assume because the discussions involve people being passionate, defensive and easily hurt at the same time all at once; spiraling any discussion down into making all (or at least a lot) people involved feel bad?
Stay with fictional politics; thats more fun & not against any rules :P (... I hope; gog became really weird in the last few years).
You're missing the point. Why allow it, and even post it themselves, then lock, censor, and ban the topic when people express their opinion about said topic?
Also, the hypocrisy in allowing the OP, or one side, to post political topics, but not any other side..
