Message to GOG, people still haven't forgotten the whole Devotion debacle where you blamed " gamers " for removal of the game from the store to cater to China, and still up to this day you still to release a statement, letting it slide like nothing at all happened :) in hopes people will get over it ! We are still waiting for an answer from you guys !

They did release a statement on Twitter - https://twitter.com/GOGcom/status/1339227388438306817

You might not have liked the statement, but you can't really say that did not release any.

Companies goes where the money is and that's how it is thus statements are useless, neither Steam, Epic or any mid to larger scale company (meaning when you open up your company for public investing you are pretty much expected to go where the profit is) would risk being shut off from selling their games in china.

We already have a Devotion thread that received the last reply a month ago. You can also vote for Devotion in the community wishlist if you haven't already. OP specifically referenced the lie that you linked to. His whole point is that GOG lied brazenly and never addressed it.

to repeat myslef - they released a statment. You may not like the statement, but it was the statment they released on this matter

Was the auto low-rep-voting script on this forum before the Devotion debacle? If not. I think we have discovered the culprit. It's Pooh's minions!

I want the names and contact information for the five people who complained to GoG about selling Devotion.
Or more accurately, the Chinese bots who complained.

No, it’s part a a raft of major issues, which have been around for years, nearing decades, which have both been not fixed, and completely and utterly ignored (not even so much as a mention) by GOG. Their automated bots however downvote the merest mention of anything.

on the west

You seem to have forgotten that Chinese citizens have V-P-N-S and often get around their country's fire-wall to visit various sites, and that they could do so to buy from GOG as well.....even if that country blocked GOG.

It had jack crap to do with "catering" to China. It had everything to do with being a business and doing what they have to do. Given the fact that China has a very large gaming market, they couldn't risk losing an entire market over one game that a handful of people might have played.

The way people responded to the situation just proves my point about modern gamers being fickle, whiny crybabies who are literally LOOKING for reasons to complain.

The second sentence in that quotation contradicts, undermines, and disproves the first.

And the rest of that post is basically saying that one should abandon all of his/her ethics & morals for financial reasons.

Of course, in reality, no they should not.

Contrary to what the rest of the post which I quoted from says, the only problem with the GOG customers' response to the Devotion debacle was that they, for the most part, let GOG get away with letting it blow over, which is exactly what GOG hoped would happen.

And that sets the very dire precedent for all future debacles, which GOG is likewise also probably going to ignore, since the Devotion incident taught them that most customers will let them get away with letting it blow over, and hence they have no reason to be transparent about what is really going on.

Finally, that post is conflating two separate issues into one, even though they cannot & should not be conflated:

Issue 1: GOG banning Devotion.
Issue 2: GOG lying about the reason for why they banned Devotion, and refusing to be transparent and upfront and honest about the real reason why they did so.

Or maybe some have a legitimate complaint, but you are so enamored by GOG that you refuse to see it & call people whiners to maintain your cognitive dissonance?

They shouldn't, but sometimes it's not so easy. In GOG's case, however, they could've allowed Devotion and still made a profit from Chinese customers(v-p-n-s being a thing).

Also to this entire post: well said

(also, it seems the GOG fanboys have finally arrived to low rate everyone who dares say anything bad about their precious GOG-chan. To that I can only say one word: LOL)

It's not a legitimate complaint, though. People act as if GOG "catered" to China or removed the game to spite certain groups of people which simply isn't true. Anyone who knows even a little bit about business knows that you don't risk an entire market to satisfy a handful of customers. That's just not how it works. Yeah, sure, it sucks that they had to remove it but if ANYONE is to blame for this, it's the ridiculous CCP which absolutely needs to fall.

Also, it's not the fanboys downvoting, it's bots and that's an issue GOG definitely needs to fix.
It has nothing to do with morals. GOG removed the game to preserve a market of theirs. The morals only come into play when you consider the sheer tyranny of the CCP. As I said, blame the CCP, not GOG because it's not GOG's fault that the CCP are a bunch of tyrannical, oppressive fools.
