Vestin: This has really resonated with me. It seems that in a few Western countries some young people consider a differing opinion to nearly constitute an existential threat, something that could emotionally ruin them beyond recovery. Even from this, however, it is a stretch to demand the censorship of fiction. Nobody is forced to read books or play games they do not fancy, so why would one insist that limits be put on what others may enjoy? It is, quite literally, an insistence that some things should never by imagined by anyone. Why should that be the case, even for the most horrible of things? Can people truly not tell fiction from fact and truth from falsehood? Alternatively - are there lovecraftian truths out there that mankind is simply better off not even getting anywhere near?
That's not even getting anywhere near the absurdity of bashfully censoring anything one might possibly find too prurient. Good grief, is that nonsensical the moment one verbalizes the mere idea...

tammerwhisk: The oft cited argument is that media influences the consumer and media influences/directs culture. Which isn't wrong, but it completely ignores responsibility, self-control, and rationality.
Yeah Rock was music from Satan (now is family business with TV programs), smoking weed will finish with people injecting heroine in their veins (now is used in some cases in medicine ) games were only for lazy people (now is a huge industry), roleplaying games make you a killer (D&D fans even had children and make families LV1 t-shirts success is the proof)

Now games still make you a killer, and a whole bunch of new things... a misogyn, a racist, a harasser ... and all the things that scared people want everyone to be, yes scared, people that feel offended for the most simple thing, and want EVERYONE look at the world in their same way, dress in the same way, have the same opinion, speak the opinion in the correct established way, eat the same ¨healthy¨ things, judge other cultures accepting without any doubt that we are right, we are more free, and more fair... and always smile and feel happy in this new Orwellian EQUAL world, were differences are a problem , and DIVERSITY a crime.

Children are rather good at this, but some seem to lose this ability when growing up...

It's not like there aren't people willing to brush these off as arbitrary cultural constructs. If reason and truth are constructed and not discovered, and people's actions can be reduced to trivial reactions to unfiltered mental garbage, then it's unsurprising one might want to censor everything. After all - since that "everything" not merely influences but DRIVES everyone, it needs to be curated at all cost.
Meanwhile, the implicit mindset of "I am the only rational and conscious human being; Other people are mindless sheep whose minds need to be saved" reeks of double-think. It requires that the single person making these judgements KNOWS what THE TRUTH is and what is objectively GOOD for everyone. It also assumes, at its core, that either no objective truth or good exists or that human being are incapable of finding it to any extent. -_-
Meanwhile, even a kitten seems to have a firm grasp on what is pretend fighting in play and what is actually fighting...

All of this, of course, doesn't mean that the line of thinking is wrong. It's ultimately unverifiable. Very specific claims can be investigated, but the general idea remains beyond human grasp. It's right there with solipsism; it totally CAN be factual truth, but I refuse to make that assumption even in spite of its elegant simplicity.
The overwhelming human desire to see (simple) patterns and explanations sometimes leads to these unfortunate cases of "It's all connected! You've got to believe me!" that logically present the world as a horrible but neat system of cause and effect. Whether it's the Illuminati pulling strings from the shadows or video games causing violence, it's always a tiny little explanation that makes the fear of the unknown go away. To some even the most ridiculous theory seems more comforting than accepting the possibility of the world and history being a chaotic mess of happenstance barely held together by a few fundamental laws of nature. They would rather deny everyone agency than concede that the unpredictable can exist. They are probably the sort of people that would've insisted long ago that the decimals in the square root of 2 MUST start repeating at some point, and that if we keep looking, we will eventually find it ;).

And what they think and feel
They can't tell a game from real life
They think this game is real."

Really liked this game. Hoping it'll open the doors to other great Match 3 type games. Not wishing to be flooded with them, but would be great to have the good ones here. So thanks to Gog , the dev/pub and the fans that brought this game here.

For example the Bejeweled series ?

I wouldn't necessarily mind Bejeweled being here (though unsure I'd buy it), but I'd prefer games like Puzzle Quest that seem to have more than Match3 to offer. Thing is I buy only from here and Match3 are not a-plenty on Gog, so they were kind of off my radar. Can't give you more examples.

This game is really damn hard. I am completely surprised. I thought the match-3 bit would be a gimmie - something easy and simple just to get to the silly bits, but it isn't. It's tough. Doesn't play like "bejeweled" or similar.

What difficulty level are you playing? Are you paying attention to the specific matches on the date?
Great game. And not just because of the nudity, it really is addictive. Good choice Gog. Im glad you represent my liberal ideals of tons of nudity :D

MarkoH01: I am just a normal human being and not a warrior of any kind so please stop calling me something the internet and media has just invented (there is no such word as a "social warrior" at all)!

I did not twist your words in any way. You said that violence is normal for human beings to make clear why sex could be problematic on GOG and violence not. So you meant that sex would be not as normal as violence. But sex is as much an instinct in any living being (not just human) as is violence. So your argument is not valid and not correct. Violence as an instinct is also mostly attached to something one likes to achieve and I would guess there are more people out there displaying intense interest in sex as they are regarding violence. So you could say that just a little bit of violence would be normal for human beings but not as much as it is shown in the usual video games.

And again: as it has been said here multiple times - we are talking about cartoon characters so it's not even something you couild compare with real sex or porn of any kind. It's just ridiculous that people could be offended by some drawings of a breast or a vagina - absolutely ridiculous.

dick1982: twisting my words again. you people keep doing this for fun? i agreed that sex is normal human /animal behavior. big deal. i'm not offended by sexual content. i already said earlier in the thread that i approve of eroges in general. cry me fucking a river. it's not a fucking pissing competition to see if violence/sex is better or worse.
Please stay calm - I am calm too. You say that it's not about the fact if violence or sex is better or worse but I think that is exactly were you are wrong. Think back to the start of this discussion. I was asking why a game with sexual content could be problematic here while a violent game is not. So isn't this exactly the question what is worse and why?

torvuseremita: Pornography is sexual content designed to create sexual arousal, nothing more, nothing less. A painting can be pornography. A book can be pornography. A cartoon can absolutely be pornography. For the record, "offensive" and "pornography" are two completely separate ideas, as are "offensive" and "appropriate for children".
O.K. - you are correct with this but I still think that a game that would contain real life actors having sex would (and should) be far nore problematic than some cartoon characters soing the same (and afaik there are no pictures depicting actual sex in it or are there?). So yes, according to the definition even books and art can be considered pornography but I was talking about offending pornography which could be problematic for children.

javier0889: Thing is - Gog did not censor anything.
No, but they seem to have chose the censored version instead of the uncensored one. This is my problem. Everybody who just want to play the uncensored version won't have a problem in doing so no matter where he/she buys it. For me buying the game here would be a sign that GOG did right in getting the censored version and going the "safe" way. But that is not my opinion so I will buy on humble instead when it's on sale.

Renascent: Let us know if the version was uncensored, because when i bought it it was not (windows tested, not linux).
It is your right as a consumer to buy it from elsewhere, but you are making such a storm in a glass of water. If you bought the art collection from steam and expected hardcore, then yes... that is something you could complain about. The devs have said you can just refund it on steam and buy it directly from their web page.
For me it is not about the game at all. It's about a decision which I personally don't like - nothing more and nothing less. Yes, you might call it "storm in a water glass" but or me it is a matter of principle. But after it has been said here that the humble version was uncensored out of the box you are saying that it is not. Hmmmm ... if the devs should really only offer the uncensored version directly from their site and gave away the "censored" version to every distributor the case would be completely different for me because in this case GOG never HAD a choice. Unfortunately nobody from GOG or the developer have said anything to say if this is true or not. So I am asking again: everybody who has the humble version (not from the devs web site but from the humble store) is it "censored" too or not?

Renascent: Game wise, you do not have a case. It is not like you are buying a censored version of Hotline Miami in Austrailia and missing content that way. The original game is banned and the devs are not allowed to sell it to peeps there. I hardly think they would be able to sell a censored game where you could unlock the hard core content by just adding a file to the folder containing the game.
Yes, I understand that this would be a different case. I just want to know if GOG made a decision or had no choice at all in this case. That is all that I need to make my fnal decision. I have until friday so hopefully GOG, the devs or the community will tell me what realöly has happened here.
