Tired of being bombarded with hearts, flowers, and cupids at every turn? Fed up with the relentless onslaught of Valentine's season? Fear not, for GOG is here to shake things up! Say goodbye to saccharine sweetness and hello to our delightfully macabre Gore Galore Sale. Dive into the world where blood flows down the streets to your content – it's time to indulge in some well-deserved self-care amidst the crimson chaos. Let’s see what it’s all about then!



We’re kicking this event off with some truly gruesome news – for the duration of Gore Galore you’ll be able to get the Wolfenstein Bundle, containing Wolfenstein: The Two Pack and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Digital Deluxe Edition. On top of that, the bundle will be available for -85%; which will save you 20% than when buying these titles separately.

Note: If you already own any of the games contained within this pack, you'll receive additional codes for them via email when purchasing the Bundle.

Wolfenstein: The Two Pack contains two other parts of the franchise: Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. It’s a perfect combination for both enthusiast of the series and newcommers – bringing the player right across Europe on a personal mission to bring down the Nazi war machine. With Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Digital Deluxe Edition though, you’ll receive both Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus that’ll send you, on the other hand, to Nazi-controlled America on a mission to recruit the boldest resistance leaders left, and Wolfenstein II: The Freedom Chronicles - Season Passs, bringing the fight for freedom even further. It’s safe to say that this Bundle is the ultimate experience of the series, and a great deal as well.



To top it off, we have a deliciously gruesome release up our sleeves, too – OTXO is now available on GOG, alongside its Soundtrack. With this game, you’ll step into the depths of an abstract mansion, embarking on a heart-pounding journey to save your loved one. Brace yourself for an adrenaline-fueled odyssey through a realm of relentless brutality and unforgiving challenges. Engage in visceral gunplay, where every shot is a ballet of precision amidst chaotic savagery, enhanced by time-bending slow-motion sequences. Confront your deepest fears and unlock the mysteries shrouding the Mansion, forging your path through darkness to reclaim what’s yours.



That’s not all, though – we have a variety of offers, with smoothly cut prices. Here’s some of them:
Vampyr (-80%)
Ion Fury (-60%)
Scorn (-60%)
Outlast 2 (-85%)
The Walking Dead: Season One (-75%)
Turbo Overkill (-30%)
DOOM 3 (-60%)
The Evil Within Bundle (-75%)
Blair Witch (-80%)
Amnesia: The Bunker (-35%)

The Gore Galore Sale ends on February 27th, 10:30 PM UTC – so don’t wait, dive into the river of crimson deals now!

RafaelRamus: Shopping, choosing the games and talking about them later are huge parts of a shared experience.
And you can do all that right now.....simply open the catalog pages for a particular (non lewd/etc) game sale and/or pages for games you feel they might like in tabs, and only let them look at those things while they pick out what they want. If you truly care about your family, you should be able and willing to put the effort in.

RafaelRamus: "A shame that we must use external tools to do the job GOG Staff should be doing." :(
Better those that want such have something instead of nothing at all.

neumi5694: All the parent has to do not to allow his kid to come here is to block the website. The tools for that are already built into the operating system.
They want their kids to shop with them on the store, not for their kids to use the store/forum alone.
That said, you make some good points.

RafaelRamus: All I keep asking is a tool that allows parents (and anyone that wants to) to filter this kind of content. Steam is much more family friendly, I'd love to have all my games DRM-Free, but the way things are going I'm forced to do our family shopping (when we as a family select the games we'll buy and play) on Steam.
avatar
neumi5694: Yes, Steam is more family friendly, since there are not supposed any younglings on GOG.

This is a site for grumpy old gamers. I am pretty sure that you have to declare that you have the appropriate age for the site. All the parent has to do not to allow his kid to come here is to block the website. The tools for that are already built into the operating system.
I know, but it doesn't have to be, that's my point. I already stated I'm a fan of DRM-Free so I'd love for GoG to be a bit more like Steam, offering filters and parental control, that's all.

Of course I can just block the site and be done with it!

That's why I already said that I'm coming here out of love, not of hate for the site.

avatar
neumi5694: Btw, does Steam allow a parent to set the filters for his kid without the kid having the option to change them?
Yes.

Steam gives a lot of options for parental controls, I can't even start describing them all here.

Family View, for instance: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6B1A-66BE-E911-3D98

zlaywal: GOG bundle are meaningless if you partially owned some parts of it.

king_kunat: Hey there! If you already own any of the games contained within this pack, you'll receive additional codes for them via email when you decide to purchase the Bundle :D You can then always gift them to someone.
Rather than providing gift codes, all bundles should have proportionate discounts, based on how many containing games we already own. If all contents are owned, a bundle should be marked as owned or have a 100% discount.

As time goes on the "Hide owned games" filter becomes less and less usable, due to various bundles and editions lying about not being owned. The more your catalogue grows, the bigger this problem becomes.

foad01: Have a look at the Steam Subscriber Agreement and the GOG User Agreement.

Steam:
[...] You may not become a Subscriber if you are under the age of 13.
Steam is not intended for children under 13 and Valve will not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
Additional age restrictions may apply in your country."

GOG:
"If you're over 18, then welcome!
If you're between 16 and 18, before we extend an equally warm welcome, please ask your parent or guardian to review and approve this Agreement on your behalf (because in some countries people under a certain age cannot legally enter into contracts like this Agreement).
If you’re not 16 yet you cannot have a GOG account or use the GOG services because legally we cannot handle personal data of children without a special parental or guardian’s permission (but your parents/guardians are welcome to sign up themselves)."

GOG is first and foremost a store for adults. They make an exception for adolescents.
However, Steam is also a place for teenagers.
avatar
RafaelRamus: Independently of whatever they say, Steam provides parents with all the tools for them to manage family accounts (it even has exactly that, family accounts). Be it teenagers or smaller children, Steam is simply more friendly.
It looks, as if you were missing the point, that "foad01" was trying to make:

BECAUSE Steam is a store, that allows users/customers from age 13 up, it HAS to provide these tools.

GOG on the other hand, is a store, which allows users/customers only, if they're 18 and older (OR 16 and older - IF a parent/legal guardian agrees).

That's a huge difference.

I would like to add to that, when we opt-in to receive promotional emails and stay informed about current deals, those bundles and other available versions of games plus content we already own get advertised to us. They can be ignored, which is not possible on the main and promo pages, making it more time-consuming to browse the catalogue because each version is represented with its own page and thumbnail. During large sales, you can see the same thing advertised at least 4 to 5 times. So it would be appreciated to having an option to finally allowing us to mark items as owned - free of charge.

OTXO looks interesting so I grabbed it together with the OST. Good thing I had a extra -5% discount code in my mails today.

If you're interested in this game I recommend checking your mails for that extra discount too before buying it.

Again, I know, but it doesn't have to be this way. I cheer for GoG, so I'd love to see them grow.

And knowing how much time (and parents' money) kids spend on games, I honestly think that it's the other way around: because GoG can't provide such tools it has to be a +18 site.

That, or GoG simply doesn't like the money, which I find hard to believe.

I have no idea why many customers are clamoring for Wolfenstein: YB to be released here on GOG, which is an awful game in every possible way.

We don't need GOG to become (more of) a dumping ground for trash games. The less of those on GOG, the better.

And the more of them that do come to GOG, the more they come to represent GOG's reputation as regards to how much GOG games usually lack quality most of the time.

But it is this way.

You argue like: "I want my kid to be able to accompany me into the adult section of a Blockbuster, but I don't want it to see anything inappropriate for its age, there."

GOG is a store for adults!
(and for 16+ y.o. IF their parents/legal guardians give their ok)

If your kid is under 16, it should not be here in the first place.

If your kid is 16+ (but not 18 yet) it needs your ok, to be here - and you can choose, if you want to supervise it, while it's here.

Btw: I have kids, too.
And they never spent MY money on games, unless I gave it to them.
And they definitely did not spend any money in the adult section of a game store (as long as they weren't old enough).

Obviously I'm talking about money parents give to their children, so your last point is completely unnecessary.

I can't agree with your example comparing GoG with the adult section of a Blockbuster (although I can see it going this way). I've never seen a "family-friendly" section in the adult section of a Blockbuster, but that's exactly what we have in the "Family-friendly" tag here on GoG:

https://www.gog.com/en/games/tags/family-friendly

"Enjoy quality gaming time with family through our selection of family-friendly PC games, featuring content suitable for all ages."

All this talk is getting really tiresome. Obviously GoG would do better if it had the same features Steam has (and by comparison, Steam has a way larger section of both Gore and Adult games and no one complains because of said features).

You know what, in the end you're right, it's GoG call. It decides if it wants any of my family's money or not.

EDIT: GoG often asks by mail for suggestions for the site. When you actually give feedback all you get is silence and its fanboys being pissed for some reason.

But it's up to you (the adult) to choose and purchase the "family friendly games" for your kids.

The people reacting here are customers like you.
No GOG employees.
If you want GOG employees to react to you - you'll have to contact them.
