Looks like 10k+ symbols for once are too much for GoG :D So I have to split the answer into parts
Crosmando: In many countries this is classified as actual child porn.
LootHunter: That reminds me of something...
HappyPunkPotato: You keep trying to push this idea that people can't tell fact from fiction when
that's obviously not true LootHunter: Oh, yeah - that.
Nice one)
JuWalk: It's really funny to hear about living in bubble from peoples who at the same time say "Boohoo drawn boobs give me a psychological trauma so you should delete them" :D
HappyPunkPotato: I didn't take you for a troll but you clearly don't give a damn about other people so you can't really complain if people don't care about you either.
Vice versa. I'm not going to care about the opinion of those people who were the first to spit on mine, but demand respect for themselves. As they say, I didn't start this war.
JuWalk: GoG and some users believe that meat and vegetables can be in the same refrigerator. You say "I'm a vegan so everyone should keep meat away from vegetables".
HappyPunkPotato: No, the vegan says "You shouldn't be having meat at all." And the health department says "You should keep your uncooked meat away from your vegetables anyway."
Ok, I'll rephrase. A vegan demands that the supermarket stop selling meat, eggs, milk and honey for his sake. Is this behavior appropriate? Definitely not.
The Ministry of Health didn't say "you should keep meat in one fridge and vegetables in another, separate one". There is no law against selling violent or erotic games on GoG. So, they have every right to be sold here.
JuWalk: Lie. Within a particular store, this is exactly what censorship is. And not substantiated by anything other than "You should delete this because I don't like it". I have already asked many times to name at least one
objective reason for fulfilling your requirements, but no one has managed to do this. There were only subjective demands in the style of "respect our wishes as long as we spit on the wishes of both other users and GoG owners".
HappyPunkPotato: So let's come back to the racism question that you keep avoiding.
If a game was made by white people for white people featuring black people as nothing more than slaves and some black people weren't OK with it they would be selfish and spitting on others wishes? After all, it's just subjective.
If a game was made by men for men featuring women as sex objects and some women aren't OK with it...
Let's also consider that in the past (not in every country), women were literally owned by men.
If this game somehow calls for violence against representatives of another race in real life, it should be banned. If someone simply doesn't like it because non-existent people are depicted as slaves, that's their problem. If blacks make a game for blacks, in which the slaves will be whites, I will not run to demand that it be banned, but will simply pass by. Yes, it’s possible, it’s not at all necessary to be offended by everything around. And no, I don’t want to live in a sterile world in which all products are made in such a way that they definitely won’t offend anyone at all - there are too many those who can be offended by something, so we will quickly slide into dull monotony.
No matter how much you deny it, putting an equal sign between fictional characters and real people is stupid. If they digitize me now, add to some shooter, and the players shoot this character 1000 times a day, it won’t hurt me at all. And even more so, what they do to fictional characters with whom I have in common only gender and skin color can't harm me in any way. If you want - tear them into small pieces, if you want - portray massive gay orgies with their participation - this will not have any effect on my real life.
By the way, white people were also actively sold into slavery. Irish, for example. And Slavs. And the blacks themselves sold a lot of their fellows into slavery. But for some reason everyone stubbornly forgets about this...
And about the fact that women literally belonged to men - yes, this is really a problem. So, maybe you can leave the games alone and start helping real women from Saudi Arabia, for example? Or the Libyans, who have had the slave trade in full swing in the country for many years? I assure you, they need help muuuch more than those who simply do not exist ;)
JuWalk: 1) If you say "In media, porn is the same thing as excessive violence" - why don't you resent the existence of games with this very violence in the store?
2) Lie. Within a particular store, this is exactly what censorship is. And not substantiated by anything other than "You should delete this because I don't like it". I have already asked many times to name at least one
objective reason for fulfilling your requirements, but no one has managed to do this. There were only subjective demands in the style of "respect our wishes as long as we spit on the wishes of both other users and GoG owners".
3) Judging by the fact that sales of most of these games are very high, GoG won't lose much from your offended boycott ;)
bombardier: 1. I actually do, but currently there is a flood of porn games not a flood of murder simulators.
2. Not a lie. It is just you inability to acknowledge the truth because you have your agenda and are failing in argumentative thinking. By your own definition GoG's entire curation process is a censorship and it should be abolished.
3. Claim your sources for this information.
2) Truth? Seriously? :D Well, why doesn't your
truth have any really good justifications? From message to message, there is nothing but "in my subjective opinion, porn games are bad and must be deleted". Your subjective opinion is no more valuable than my subjective opinion which says these games should be at GoG. We're equal. But I propose to give those who want such games the opportunity to buy them, and those who don't want - to hide and not see, and you are calling for simply banning them for everyone. That is, I offer freedom and the ability to choose for everyone, and you offer only superfluous and unjustified prohibitions. Feel the difference?
3) Many of these games were in the list of top sellers even before GoG messed the catalog and filtrations. Of course, you can say that GoG cheated something there, but we can’t know for sure, and we don’t have other sources of data. So it remains to either believe in the data that is unpleasant for you from the store page, or build conspiracy theories. And by the way, in case you haven't noticed, there are also enough people on the forum who are satisfied with the publication of these games, no matter how your howl tries to drown out their voices
LootHunter: The only one, who engages in mental gymnastics, is you. You start talking about how games with porn are bad and how people who like those games should not be on GOG. And when asked, why don't you want GOG not to cater to those people, you start to screech how it "alienates" you and people like you.
bombardier: You are making this up. I said that people should no be here for the porn games. If they want porn games, they can easily get them in specialty stores that cater for their need.
If you take this literally then only people who came to GoG SOLELY to fulfill their masturbatory needs will not be here.
All other will buy normal games here and their porn on porn stores.
You realize that it is possible to have more than one game store in a world?
Who are you to decide what people should come here for, and why they shouldn't? Are you a store owner? The president? Maybe God himself?
GoG wants to sell porn games. People want to carry money for these games to GoG, and not to someone else. So why should both the first and the second suddenly give up their desires for yours? Name at least one good reason.
And yes, on the example of Steam and EGS, we can clearly see that people often remain unhappy with the idea of dividing their collections between several stores. One store instead of two-three-five-ten will always be preferable.
