I say yes. I doubt I'd buy any AO dating simulator or similar games, but Manhunt 2 I'd probably get out of curiosity if nothing else.

I see this kind of comment over and over again...

Can you please elaborate for me why you, for instance, find brutal gore better than those dating sims?

(I am not accusing you, I just want some sort of explanation. No-one has provided me any, even when I keep asking about this)

Because I like action games where you can control a character more than text based dating sims. The content itself doesn't bother me, its a preference for the kind of games themselves.

as an example of an AO level mod I would say Animated Prostitution (AP) for Fallout 3 is a better example than better bodies (BB) since BB is just a body replacer with a nude option where AP sets it so the player can get the "working girls" to work for him/her & includes the possibility of getting other NPCs into that line of work as well.

On-topic: I wouldn't mind the option of getting AO games here.

Well, for one, porn is outright illegal in parts of the world so GOG's global selling policy would not work. Porn is also restricted in many countries and laws about selling it vary greatly. GOG would pretty much have to establish separate site with regional (not sellign in regions it's illegal) and regional age restrictions. I doubt there's many porn game devs who would be willing to sell their games DRM free either.

There's also huge controversy and shady reputation surrounding porn (AO/18+ is bad enough) to deal with and I doubt GOG would want the backlash that would surely follow for it being first (global) mainstream digital game distributor to expand into porn games, with them being based in catholic Polland and all that. It'll still take time for world to accept that large part of gamers are adult by now (many still consider game to be for children only).

Mind, I have nothing personal against distributing or playing porn games (heck, I play them my self), I just fear damage adding them would cause to GOG's reputation.

Well like I said I don't find the point on a dating game when I could do that myself in the real world, I know I'm not exactly Mr. Flirter or something like that but I think is better than grabbing a machete in real life, go out and hack the sh*t out of somebody.

I have a girlfriend so I don't need to date anymore, I'm covered on that spot, but I know I can't kill people for fun.. so there are games for that.

It may sound sick, but hey we play violent games because we like killing things.

Just my opinion, I would support your idea about a sub-site within GOG.

I feel that censorship is similar to DRM: It seeks to restrict and direct the minds of people to only accept what the distributor wants. The source stems from 'moral' guardians instead of corporations interested in profit, which I feel is even worse than DRM. At least DRM is practical, as it seeks to safeguard the financial health of companies. To my mind, opposing censorship would make the world a better place.

Best comment in this thread (+1), I had to lol so hard. Thanks :-)

Buying DRM free Porn on GOG?

Sure!
As long as it has enough pixel and isn't a Good Old Porn title from the 90s.

Very funny.

I would probably most definitely stop using GOG services all together at that point. For one, it'd probably be blocked by my security software at home. And for another, I don't want to see any of that or be around it.

Luckily, GOG has maintained a family-friendly appearance.

Family-friendly appearance? you mean Witcher -series, Blood, Bloodrayne and all the similar games are family friendly?

Or did I misunderstand something?

(I will never understand people who prefer violence over sex...)

I was actually going to put "family-friendly (for 13 year olds or so and older) appearance," but then decided against it for its wordiness.

But yes, fairly family-friendly. As family-friendly as PBS? (that's the U.S. channel where they show things like Sesame Street and other children shows) No. More family friendly that whipsandchainsxxx.com? Yes.

Violence comes in many categories. Some I can deal with, others are too much of an emotional drain. But the advertisement of violence tends to be less over-the-top than sex-related ads. Sex-related ads really enjoy using the mechanism in a man's head that prompts "doable or not?" And that often leads my brain away from my wife and into the gutter.

Whereas a trail of blood running down an steel wolf excites a "hunter-protector" part of my man-ness. That type of image tends to make me feel strong and excited. It's that image that advertises violence.

I don't like being surrounded by violence all day. And I can only play a violent video game for so many hours before it bores me (whereas something like Sim City could wear out a whole day and I not even notice). But I do enjoy some exciting simulated violence on the television or computer screen from time to time. But the sex-related stuff, so long as it detracts from my commitment to my wife, needs to stay away from me.

Some stuff doesn't bother me. Some stuff does. And it's usually not until I see it that I really know for sure. So I try to abstain when I can. It was that reason I stayed away from The Witcher for so long. But I ended up playing it and loved it. It wasn't too bad after all (I'm in a very different place today than I was when The Witcher came out, though -- I may have taken it differently).

So, your confusion about how people receive violence and sex is partially warranted. It's all about how things interact with individual people -- especially in their brains. It's why we call the material "adult only." We've determined, pretty much across the globe, that only adults should even be given the choice to view/participate in the material because it can have a profound impact on some people's minds. My mind is definitely more negatively impacted from sexual things than violence. I suppose your mind is perhaps more impacted by violence than sexual material -- and perhaps sexual material just doesn't negatively impact you? Or perhaps you know better about what exactly can negatively impact you so you know what to refrain from?

What the hell I just read...

As already pointed out, the US have a different view about depicting nudity and sex than Europe.

Maybe because it's more fun, feasible and legal to have sex than commit acts of violence? As in there's less "need" to fantasize about sex in a graphically environment than there's about violence?
