A Saturday? Yeah, no....

Just came to see if GOG had realized they were wrong by licking the CCP's boots. Didn't have much hope tbh.

BASED!

I ❤️ Russia!

[Edit: nevermind, it's so not worth the bother]

Were there any communist revolutions in the past year attributed to 20-40 yo men who buy DRM-free games from GOG?

If not, there wasn't any harm done, get over yourself.

Seems like you replied to one of my comments, but then immediately deleted it again. I can only suppose that you wanted to express your support for my determined stand against "Tonight we riot" being sold on Gog, but then were afraid of negative backlash.
Never mind, I'll use the occasion for another reminder that "Tonight we riot" is still being sold on Gog, with profits possibly being used to support far left violent activism.
If you're against that, vote here:

I'd rather GOG accepted made more games from different political viewpoints. Popular culture is pretty leftist currently and most gamedevs (and young people) are too. (in financial terms I can't blame them, I sort of agree about Occupy Wall St type stuff) how about a 2016 Trump policies anti-neocon anti-foreign wars 2nd Amendment pro-nationalist (not Nazi) bring back manufacturing type I guess sort of populist game ;) In the game the principles could be applied to any country, not just America

or how about a "self-defense against rioters" sim

In any case I don't want to argue over this, it's fine to disagree, but I wanted to say something anyway

I understand your argument, but tbh I just don't want any such political propaganda games on Gog, no matter which point of view they're agitating for. I mean, it's fine if games deal with political issues, but if their entire point is propaganda for a specific political platform, and especially if that propaganda includes a strong focus on violence in its gameplay, I really can't see the merit. If people want to produce such games and distribute them for free, ok, but I disagree with selling them as commercial products on platforms like Gog.

If possession isn't 9/10 of the law, Russia has some territory that needs to be returned to the rightful owners.

There are a lot of capitalist oriented games actually and games that cast the state as bad or evil. There are also quite a few games where the main unit of interest is the family, right down to continuing to play as the heir of your previous character in some cases.

These tend to be more conservative values. Not that these things make me feel misrepresented in games (I consider myself center left) in any way.

I think it is best to leave a lot of your personal convictions at the door when playing a game. It is a thought experiment, nothing more. None of it is real. You can do anything you like and it doesn't really matter. Nothing in the game is self-aware or otherwise suffers. Its not anywhere close to sentience or life.

These usually just are about making money. You could argue they don't show the dark side of capitalism, but imo they also don't promote violence, like "Tonight we riot" does imo. An equivalent pro-capitalist game would be one where you gun down striking workers and direct death squads against trade unionists, and I don't think something like this would be sold on Gog.

Well, in Factorio, you essentially run down A LOT of low tech natives (and make no mistake, you are on their turf) in order to build a ever growing automation chain in order to automate the production of an ever increasing amount of goods (while not the complete picture, one could call that the accelerating automation of production in order to produce evermore things the cornerstone of capitalism and definitely something people to the left, especially the far left, would oppose). Not only that, its all for yourself, one person (again, something that people to the left, especially the far left would frown upon).

This is in direct opposition to a lot of my personal values, but who cares? Its a game (and one that I like a lot). It's fun. Completely immoral, but fun.
