Andrey82: And on the other hand, we have games with sex. Sex which makes people closer together, sex which is an important step in a relationship, sex which creates new life and brings new humans into our world.
So you'd be okay to see games with almost-naked men being paraded around like objects, instead of women?

Would you still be as interested if the games showed almost-naked men, instead of almost naked women?
As a bisexual, I'm fine with both ;p

As a Strait person I'm fine with both myself as I am of the mindset of'' either both should be fine or neither should be'' in a case like this

As a heterosexual, I'm quite alright with both, too.

XYCat: The games involving sex scenes show both.

I know, shocking, but true! :o

FrodoBaggins: Really? Where? Cos looking at the front page, I don't see any almost-naked men with their privates bulging out.

avatar
Shendue: In fact, most games ALREADY sport half naked muscular men normally. Only women are taboo, due to some weird double standard.
avatar
FrodoBaggins: In most games, men have their privates decently covered up, and not bulging out. THAT is double standard.
You don't see almost naked anyone on the front page, that's all in-game content. If you're so afraid of shirtless men then don't take off your equipment in any 3D RPG. You don't need to go as far as actually playing any of them evil scary porn games for that :D

Lifthrasil: In the evangelistical (or islamist) worldview, sex has always been worse than murder. It is very perverse that a religion, that pretends to be a religion of love, condemns and expression of love (consensual sex) but is entirely OK with the ultimate expression of hate (violent killing). Somehow none of these ostensibly religious people see the contradiction. And they don't understand that, while they complain about the oh so bad 'perversion' of depicting sexual love, the real perversion lies in hating in the name of Love.

Snowslinger: You obviously know nothing about evangelicals, and it shows. There is a difference between sex in loving relationship of a married couple (this is an expression of love between a man and a woman), and than there is obligation-free shaging for fun, no strings attached (that is not an expression of love). Now, subverse seems like a game that contains smut for the sake of smut. And FYI, Christians condemn murder.
In that regard Evangelics are not different to Catholics, or Anglicans

Anyway I am very happy making love out of marriage or simply for fun involving two persons pleasure. That fobia for the others` pleasure or way of life is what a lot of people criticizes about the monotheistic cultural style of religions. It is not about doing a master in evangelism.

That is true. I should have written 'religious fundamentalists' instead of singling out Evangelicals and Islamists. It's just that the US-centric Evangelicalists tend to be a quite loud group among those that preach hate in the name of a loving God. Mind you, I'm not talking about all protestants. Just the Evangelical movement that has given rise to quite extreme Televangelists and their like.

Why wouldn't I? I would not even restrict this to almost-naked. I'm entirely OK with the depiction of naked humans of either sex. Be it in the form of classic or antique paintings or movies or games. I wouldn't even object to being paraded around as sexual object myself, only I'm not pretty enough that anyone would be interested in that!
The more a naked body is shown in media, or videogames or whatever, male or female, the less sexual object it will become as a pulsion. Just as an aesthetical reality as others in our life.

Swedrami: Wait a minute, they officially turned down Realms of Antiquity?
Last thing I heard was that the dev had submitted RoA sometime earlier this year but, like many other devs with pending submissions, just hadn't heard back from GoG since then.
Then maybe they are just still swamped with handling Cyberpunk 2077 refunds? And all the backlog of other customer service tickets?
Realms of Antiquity didn't do well on Steam. The dev said it only sold 500 copies in a year and then in July he got greedy and did a Kickstarter for the game that almost didn't fund and only sold 4 more digital copies of the game. Four.

He did managed to sell a few more physical copies (non-digital) on Kickstarter, but supposedly he was going around trying to convince the same people to buy second box copies of his game but with a larger map! So yeah, everyone that wanted an actual digital copy this game (you know, the type GOG sells) got it already. GOG isn't dumb.

Orkhepaj: Im glad they did that

Realms Antiquity? ?? looks like garbage
Lurking II A Madness looks like a garbage too
who wants these games anyway? probably nobody

looking like 40+ year old games is not an advantage

BroscienceEngineer: Because he has poor taste.

Orkhepaj: just the opposite , these old looking games are very bad
/agree

There are so many classic games that need to be on GoG that actually have decent graphics, albeit older ones.

But games that promote and rely on sexuality are also lame. Subverse looks stupid. Large breasts appeal to twelve year olds and immature adults. Small tits are much more fun to play with and don't have the negative side effect of constantly being ogled in public. That annoyed me when I dated a woman with large breasts.
My 2 cents: If GOG intends to have adult-themed games, they should probably have an adult account option (or options) with an internal rating system to prevent risqué or unexamined material from reaching susceptible (e.g. immature) users. There may be healthy approaches to sexuality, but there is no shortage of unhealthy approaches and problematic incentives either. Are there any non-seedy online game vendors out there? (And if so, would it be possible to transfer GOG games to the non-seedy accounts?) Apart from having a clear classification of games according to suggested maturity levels, a non- (or at least less) seedy vendor might make a formal public commitment, for example, not to spontaneously unleash a torrent of x-rated garbage on any or all users now or at any point in the future.

Yeah, but you get caught looking at boobs on a body with no head…
Nah, not really. Just kidding.

You mean The Witcher 3, right?

I'm sure they added the Geralt bathing scene for the ladies.
