Their QC seems to be whatever will make them money that the curation team likes or agrees with, for the most part.

No surprise to see a game like this but a surprise to see it on GOG. I guess this means it is of much better quality than these games usually are.

Mostly all I see here is people mainly expressing their dislike for this move by GOG....and people are free to pass the thread on by if they so wish.

(Sidenote: If you think this is crap, never go to reddit or a chan site....because this is nothing compared to that)

The game might be decent, but the title isnt.

what is happening

When I started reading the replies to this thread I thought all of you mad people were irrational, but now that I've read three pages of replies your remarks make complete sense.

A game about a current event churned out in the shortest time possible to still be relevant when it comes out, we've seen that many times before, and it has always been bad. But this is even worse considering the current event is a pandemic in which a huge number of people have got sick and suffered, even died, and whole countries are in collapse.

I think if the devs actually wanted to make a good game they'd spend more time on it and release it when it's appropriate, surely people could appreciate it then if it's good; people do appreciate Plague Inc. after all, and it has a big player base, they could profit if they made a COVID19 mod, but they have enough sense to know it's inappropriate, to say the least.

Anyway, I feel kinda bad for judging you guys (even though I wasn't posting it), and I'm glad I read your posts and formed a better opinion on the situation.

What do you mean games we have to wait on? GOG totally doesn't sit on game releases, they told us they don't, aren't you convinced by GOG's honest words of honesty?

No I meant how we have to wait for some released games to get subforums...often of late it's "oddly" been the more "problematic" games.....not to say that it is certainly them holding off on such subforums intentionally, but it is an odd coincidence.

Edit: You know what, I don't want to participate in this thread.

Oh right, that problem, not sure if it's laziness or bias... or laziness due to bias, but it is definitely eyebrow raising.

Except we're not playing the comparison game. ;)

Since we're posting on a thread here, there's room to be reasonably upset and then there's crass and overexaggerated. Most people aren't falling to the latter, but only most.

(and also saying we cannot talk about the same things IRL civilly in one single thread)

(Relevant bit is at 30 seconds or so, but the whole thing is good and sets the tone and mood here, I think)

Stop faking outrages people. It's annoying to read you cry over your keyboard for nothing.

Yup

There's undoubtedly room for a thoughtful and in-depth simulation of disease control, which could help players better understand the problems governments (and corporations) face, and allow them to rate their own countries' response more accurately.

Dressing such a game up with the name (and associated publicity) of a current epidemic however, is akin to farting at a funeral.

Please reconsider, GOG.
