Not Tonight is now available DRM-free on GOG.com, 10% off until August 24th, 3 PM UTC.

Great Britain isn’t so great anymore. Democracy lies in ruins. The power of the people is just a myth. You find yourself fighting to scrape by, every struggle has an end, but Not Tonight.

Not Tonight combines time management with RPG elements, all baked into a politically charged story. Your choices matter, so keep your head down and exist or fight the regime.

Dalthnock: This is a great idea, deleting reviews over subjective criteria is an EXCELLENT idea.

I can't possibly see however this might go wrong in any way, nope.

It's not like certain publishers/"developers" have already successfully pressured GOG to remove other means of criticism such as GOGMixes, or anything.

On the contrary, GOG has ALWAYS showed remarkable backbone, never EVER caving in immediately after a minimal amount of pressure.

While there are some valid suggestions in this thread alone on how to prevent agenda-driven reviews (I quite like the one suggesting to expand GOG Connect to reviews), ignoring everything to manually delete reviews after the fact is CLEARLY the best solution.

Yes.

You go, GOG.

You go.
Oh hi, you've changed your tune. From pointing out reviews need deleting, to now saying deleting false reviews is a bad idea.

And i quote - ''I wholeheartedly agree with GOG deleting the reviews that were posted only for political purposes, even if the game itself makes politics a major selling point. ''

I was giving GOG the benefit of the doubt in dealing with an unforeseen event. It can happen.

However, after such an event HAS happened, often the best way to go about things is to prevent such mistakes beforehand, not continuing to do so after the fact.

This isn't a "gotcha", Mr. 209. My stance remains consistent. ;)

Zoidberg: I think it's great that games are loaded with political messages. Good luck with that! :)

Also, char design looks a lot like Deconstructeam's, but hey it's pretty well done too.
I don't. Then again, I mostly play games to escape from real world.

Seems pretty obvious that game is just not for me, heh.

darthspudius: What is wrong with you people? I don't mind a politically driven game, but this is pure propaganda. Marxists. A disgrace to the UK and to civilisation in general.
Sounds awesome. Any game that gets people butthurt is worth checking out :D

DarkSaber2k: This War Of Mine, Papers Please,
Many games have 'hidden' 'propaganda' or 'political' information in it :D

Jagged Alliance ( my favorite games ( classics only ofcourse the new versions are ugly imho)
Fallout 1+2 have some , Gender Wars ( weird game of small men attacking women and vice versa)
and almost every other game have some in it.

Pirates ! the 1st game, and the AMIGA had the best graphics compared to old PC, newer Pirates! games are also bad compared to the classic , (imho)

After defeating the 'enemy' : "You may install a new Governor ...." well that is very politcial :D you will install one that sides with you ofcourse :D

Telika: I remember the days of "it's just a game, dude, why don't snowflakes have any humour" followed with "help, sjw and feminazi want to censor videogames". A rhetoric that already wasn't fooling that many people. And now, from the same dudes, we have all the "how dare you, HOW DARE YOU sell this game". With a third layer in the form of "help, I am being censored, censorship is a bad thing again".

The main thing these forums lack is the benny hill tune auto-playing in the background.
Of course, it's easy to remember those days when we have one every couple of weeks, just with different protagonists. Right now the only thing people seem to enjoy more than being pandered to is for people they dislike to not be pandered to.

You know, I don't like the political theme of this particular game but I don't mind it existing or being on GoG because of it - I just won't play it. But thank you for making it political because I might have gone for it without realizing who No More Robots is.

From your http://nomorerobots.io page:

No More Robots is the brainchild of Mike Rose, the industry veteran who previously took publisher tinyBuild to great heights with titles like Punch Club, Party Hard and Clustertruck. He originally made a name for himself as a video game critic for the likes of Gamasutra, Kotaku and PocketGamer.
So...
tinyBuild

Punch Club
Party Hard
Clustertruck

None of those have a good reputation on GoG. They are all somehow lacking in the GoG version - missing features or just horrendously out of date. tinyBuild is just known for just releasing games that will eventually be abandoned for the GoG version.

Can you at least assure me you weren't the one responsible for screwing over GoG customers while at tinyBuild? Can you make any guarantees you'll keep this game updated on GoG?

Making your game heavily political - sure, go for it. Letting your games on a different platform go years out of date is unacceptable. Earlier someone stated that the developer was reluctant to put their game on GoG - that combined with tinyBuild's reputation does not inspire much confidence.

Nice catch.

Now that is something worth complaining about. Particularly seeing as we have a developer posting in the thread.
I can't speak for Mike, obviously, but so far Not Tonight is getting patched; rather quickly, I'd add. So far it's been two (or three, if I missed one) updates and GoG version is on 1.034.

Surely you're aware that leftist "professional journalists" recently threatened to boycott GOG over a humorous promotional tweet for Postal 2? And that lefties were out in full force calling GOG secret racists/sexists/Nazis?

And then we have: "Help, those meanie right-wingers are leaving low ratings! Abuse! Please stop this terrible crime that I've never complained about before we were on the receiving end!"

I doubt you'll be convincing very many people that "right-wingers are the real snowflakes". Not unless we're talking about pushy orthodox believers, which don't seem to be a driving force here. Whatever light flurries come from the right are nothing compared to the blizzard of butthurt from the left on a daily basis.

That's your right, and I often do too, even only in part. It's just that games can be much more.

I appreciate the fact that you state your opinion, and not stating what games SHOULD be or not.

To be honest, the increasing politicization of games in general is part of why I shy away from new games these days. That and how pretentious and diva-like game developers can get (coughsPhil Fishcoughs). And while on topic of this game, it doesn't even seem to have the decency to hide behind a fictional world or cheeky allusions.

Or maybe I'm too old for this shit, ehhh.

Videogames are entertainement but they slowly become more than that, and that's fine. It's a means of expression, like writing, music or cinema.

I'm glad we don't only have te Transformers kind of videogames.

darthspudius: Is this game for real? It couldn't be more insulting to those of who voted for Brexit. I would love to see a game generalise other groups of people like that. It's disgrace even letting such on Gog.

Don't worry, I'm fine with UK leaving, tey never were europeans, good riddance. Although I'm afraid the eu won't take profit of that, as its members seem to make all the wrong decisions anyway...
