mrkgnao: I prefer GOG's solution, make-believe censoring is better in my book that actual regional blocking.
Yeah I agree too on this matter.

Swedrami: Because there's sexual content and then there's SEXUAL content.
Meaning that showing bare breasts/nipples and primary sexual characteristics (male and female, during full frontal nudity for instance) is still A-OK (in Germany at least)
avatar
eiii: That's usually rated P16 in Germany, at least for movies.

avatar
Swedrami: but when it comes to erect peckers, spread vages, insertion of objects or actual penetration on display it would generally count as pornography (not just in Germany but everywhere else as well) and as such would need to be rated differently.
avatar
eiii: As far as I understand it that's what rating P18 in Germany is for (and the game has a P18 rating according to GOG's game card) and usually not a reason for being illegal or been banned completely.

But I'm not an expert and just was curious if there has something changed in German laws lately which I've missed.
The last noteworthy revision or addendum was the "Sozialadäquanz" thing (allowing the display and depiction of swastikas and Third Reich-related symbols/insignia as long as it serves the arts, sciences and educational purposes).
As for hardcore/pornographic content in games the lines are still too blurry it looks like. What goes and passes in PEGI 18-rated movies apparently might be too much of a grey area when it comes to games.

And it likely comes down to GoG operating in this "grey area" with no real measures for age restriction/gating in place.
Meaning they likely could have offered the game uncensored right out of the gate with no manual decensoring necessary afterwards but chose to go the "better safe than sorry" route instead.

Lodium: uhm you forgot one point
You forgot that Gog itself can go down
Making the uncencor patch existing here a moot point
avatar
eiii: But when you cannot buy the game anymore on GOG there would be no need at all to get the patch. ;)

avatar
Lodium: also , there are cases when a game is removed from here for whatever reason
and i imagine such patches woud go with as well in those cases
avatar
eiii: If you already would have bought the game the patch still would be in your account, available together with the game, as it should be. If not, there again would be no need for the patch.

avatar
Lodium: and there are also cases when gog Post links to external sites with mods
so isnt it almost the same thing here in this case?
avatar
eiii: That's something different. This is an official patch which for me is a part of the game. Mods are external add-ons and not part of the original game.
I didnt mean custommers that already bougth it and backed it up
sorry
shoud have pointed that out.

Although I do not like censorship at all I agree that when in doubt it's better to deliver a censored version to everyone with an easy way to uncensor it instead of blocking access in some countries.

Now they only need to add a Linux version. :P

B1tF1ghter: I mean... If you feel confident enough that some random on the internet "totally has the original unmodified file" based just on said random's words...
I don't see checksums on the official website. So, you know, until they show up you have NO idea if the file you are downloading from "unofficial source" is indeed unmodified.

PSA:
So for preservation sake to at least somewhat alleviate my above desribed issues I went ahead and saved the file in webarchive :D
https://web.archive.org/web/20210208230523/https://www.huniepop.com/patch/HP2SteamyPatch.dat
(before someone tries to turn my own words against me: go ahead and check that the link for the patch from official faq site links to exactly " https://www.huniepop.com/patch/HP2SteamyPatch.dat " and I saved in archive org exactly that)

EDIT:
GOG for whatever reason cuts everything before the last https in links (that or deliberately criples archive org links) so you have to manually copy paste the archive org link as otherwise by merely clicking on it GOG forum software will strip everything before last https and guide you directly to live site instead of backup
Well, thank you for the additional link. Regarding my "unofficial sources" I intended to use instead in case I should need them, I was of course not talking about sources not known to me. It might surprise you but I know quite a few people here on GOG ... and there are several I trust completely :) But sure, having additional links to such crucial patches is always a good thing. Last but not least: in my experiences if nothing would go anymore a quick mail to the devs might have done the trick as well. I'd say we are now pretty save and while of course I would do prefer not having blocked OR censored the game at all ... I know that the unicorns are not here and that I'll probably have to wait a bit until I see some angels ... meaning - the world unfortunately is not fair, but sometimes I'll just have to make the best of it.

eiii: Since when are things blocked in Germany for sexual content (the game is marked as adult only)? Are there any new laws? Usually blocking is enforced for violence only.
avatar
PaterAlf: I wonder as well why this is blocked in Germany? There's never been a problem with sexual content in games here and as far as I know there hadn't been any new laws. Can also still buy all other erotic games on Steam and other shops. So blocking this one doesn't make a lot of sense and I doubt it is really neccessary.
This one is trying to explain it
https://www.reddit.com/r/de/comments/kidgyz/steam_blockt_nun_alle_adultonly_porn_spiele_in/
So the reason might not be any law but some peopel that feel offended and making pressure even though they don't have authority at all.

Though, this does ask the question as to why GOG doesn't have anything resembling age verification. On the other hand, they are looking for PHP programmers; nobody in their right mind would apply when there are objectively more sane ways to code; especially with the demands GOG makes of physical presence. (Node and python for example vs PHP without a framework.)

Good and accepted age verification is not that cheap to implement and GOG so far was unable to fix the forums which are broken since years ... so there's that ;)

Look. If there's a Unity plugin for COPPA that costs a buck, I feel like there's something compliant out there that GOG could implement very easily.

There's even federated systems such as AgeID and GOG already has half a system in place with a payment verification system; at the very least a slight step up from the honor system Steam uses.

Like I said, they did not even fix the forum since ages ... don't expect them to actually fix or improve things. Right now we are glad for each day it does not get worse.

There is always the option of using a VPN. But yes, German censorship sucks.

A bit hard to do in this covid 19 pandemic
and since we dont want people to go absolute crazy because of underpressed sexual urges for about almost a year soon
its perhaps better to let people act it out those on some fictional characters
that do not have their own moral codes or feelings annyway other than what the creator migth have given them.
