looks like gog is in dire need for new blood , fire the current team and hire new ones

There is already stuff like HuniePop on GOG so not sure I'd take that as an argument. And no, I'm not gonna buy someone telling me that they bought it for the unmatched "match 3" gameplay it offers ;)

And with stuff like Succubus or Agony coming here soon, it would not seem as out of place as it would have a couple of years ago. I don't really care if this game comes here or not, just saying that I wouldn't have a problem with it, even though I'm absolutely not interested in it.

i'm not saying they are right or wrong with their decisions, as a store they have the rights to refuse to sell whatever product for whatever reasons. What I am saying is that it just right and professional to let the developer know that they are not going to sell it. e.g. basic proffessional communication, even if it is only 1 line of text

That is definitely true. The latest example of which could be the Selaco game, which took a constant bumping of a forum thread to get GOG to acknowledge it and respond. Even simply saying no is better than nothing.

Obviously you did not play HP then since the match 3 aspect is very well done and is really fun. The "dating" part is basically just a fun addition. The dialogues are so ridiculously unrealistic that it is fun too. :)

Anyway, regarding HP being a porn game - keep in mind that GOG only sells it censored so this might be different.
Every communication is better than no communication at all. Something I remember telling GOG again and again :)

Heh i remember watching the trailer for the game. Funny as hell. If i hadn't dropped doing kickstarter stuff i'd have dropped a few on them.

But what i have seen of the game (ignoring the 'sexy stuff') actually looked rather fun. A really good game would be fun regardless if it had adult content in it or not. A bad one that only halfway works because of it on the other hand, well...

Yeah, as far as i know HP is censored, i still think though GoG is missing a Huge chance here
getting a bit more market share from Steam, specially with Subverse.

Indeed, the lack of communication is rly bad, but wasn t it like that ever since Linko90 was forced
to go? Anyway, bringing Subverse to GoG would be a chance and right now, i suspect CDP can use
any € they can get.

Yes. And that's probably also the reason. After what happened GOG probably is extra careful with whatever they are saying. I till think that they overreacte and that Linko did great as community manager but what happened happened.

He was, well at this point can t be helped. Just hope that the GoG / Galaxy dev team reads the
forum and might consider bringing games Like Subverse in.

(still think it would be a huge chance for Gog to allow adult games)
before steam does it

It's still an issue with allowing adult games being sold... anywhere. Just like with anything to do with the adult entertainment industry. Not all places that sell games are going to be able to sell games like Subverse. I think it was AO ratings ( Adult Only ) that get that "honor" of not being allowed to be sold just anywhere but on specific shops only because of it's very nature. Any less would bring very possibly bring about a lot of legal trouble that could destroy a company because they tried.

Sadly GOG has to be very careful with this even though they aren't based in the US, they still allow for anyone outside of their country to buy from their store.

Hmm... poster above me is in Germany and wants this game here.. guessing it's because Steam had to block a few types of games from sale because of laws there changing. That won't change when they found out what other stores are going to be possible to sell the games one store isn't allowed at that time. Careful what you wish for.

Videogames have ratings at least since the nineties at least under European or American Laws.. The legality is the same in digital stores. Your philias or phobias are irrelevant and it is good to be in that way. If the case is you are worried about your children or yourself, the last responsibility will be yours.

Not true. Our laws did not change. There sinply were some institutions (which had NOTHING to do with any law and therefore it is quite ridiculous) that thought that it would be too easy to get AO material on the net and therefore they pressured Valve and others ... Valve went the way of least resistence and blocked such games in Germany.

"Der konkrete Grund für die Sperrung von Spielen mit sexuellen Inhalten war eine Beschwerde der Medienanstalt Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein... "

Translation: "The reason for the region lock for games with sexual content was a complaint of the "Medienanstalt Schleswig-Holstein..."

To make it more clear:

"Die Medienanstalt Hamburg / Schleswig-Holstein ist zuständig für die Zulassung, Aufsicht und Überprüfung von privaten Rundfunkanbietern und Internetseiten."

Translation: "The "Medienanstalt Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein" is responsible to oversee and evaluate private broadcasts and internet sites"

As you can see - they have nothing to do with any laws in fact they anren't even responsible for the whole country ... they complained and Steam went the easy route.

Also, again the only reason for this complaint was that children could get access to those sites far too easily. Valve thought it would be too complicated to restrict just children (age verification) and decided to simply block everyone with a German ip. So Valve is to blame as well.

If what was requested was an ID check system(national id card or etc as proof) then i''m glad valve said no, as they likely would've had to implement it worldwide, and I don't think all steam's customers should have to deal with that sort of nonsense just because one country wants to be over-protective of it's citizens.

(side note: I also think parents should do their jobs and monitor[and restrict, where needed] other family member's access to game sites/other sites, and not have to have their govts act as nannies)

Ah, I see now. Thanks. .. sorry, been busy irl so just now checking things.

Sooo apparently GoG does listen to suggestions
CP77 has a "Age confirmation" now when you enter the Product site.
Time for Subcerse to hop on GoG amongst other Adult content / PEGI 18
USK 18 games
