Reaper9988: Oh wow GoG seems to be on a roll atm.

Prolly need to change your location to something not in babysitter land, aka Germany.
I heard Scandinavia has cheap ways to move ;)

Anime-BlackWolf: Nope. Link WAS broken, got all other links to my wishlist already, even from the beginning. Now the last one works, too.

Since I know those titles are going to be regionblocked I only surf on GOG from another country.
Ahh my bad then. Guess GoG is as thorough as always and I should read before answering lol

Only played Sengoku Rance. Porn, yes, but also a good strategy game.
That's some instabuy candidates depending on pricing/discount.
Raaaaance!!! :-D

NuffCatnip: I know that I've been nagging quite a lot the last couple days, but what can you do. :P

mvscot: You could start by not moaning about others being given a chance to buy games you're free to ignore, unless they contain really questionable material...
Unless it's outright illegal, who defines questionable games ?
Best for the Blood pressure to just move on and ignore what you don't like generally.
(Game wise, questionable practices should be accused ;))

NuffCatnip: I'd rather voice my dissatisfaction. I can ignore these games, true, but a) that is hard right now with the amount that floods the tore and b) they take release slots away from potentially interesting games, so I want to let the blues know, that I'd rather see something else.

They could spread them out a bit more instead of giving us a dozen titles in a single week. Might not be the best compromise or even a good one, but it would help a bit...variety is the spice of life and all that.
I honestly doubt it takes away any release slot, it would be silly to actually limit release slots given the time of year.

Being illegal isn't even close to the same as being questionable. LOL

No of course but everyones questionable is different is the point.

Of course, by "questionable" I specifically meant "potentially illegal in some jurisdictions". Personal taste may be subjectively questionable, but is nothing to complain about. Censorship of anything legal is IMHO bad, and in fact some laws are morally or politically questionable themselves...

To be fair, there are only so many man-hours available to GOG staff in a day, so a "slot" might loosely refer to the time and effort to do the work to get the software out (as sloppy as that work may be at times...). But, yes, I doubt GOG has an arbitrary numerical limit on how many releases they might try to put out.
So, something's a bit fishy around here, and it isn't the muffs of the "Yes, I'm 18" year old girls who litter the porn games.

But rather, where are the lithe twinks, androgynous men, and bishonens? Where's the game where I can play as a Femboy St. Eran, and have him make suggestive comments to St. Nicodemus?

Or perhaps less sacrilegiously, there are games where I can play as a cute twink such as Venti in Genshin Impact, but I can't help but notice they're lacking in number if even extant on GOG, especially in the area of Yaoi/BL.

Ya makes sense with the work hours. But I don't think any other release really suffers for it. At worst it would come out somewhat later.
But that is basically true for every released game, someone isn't gonna be happy and the Eroges don't really overshadow the "normal" games looking at the timeline.
So yeah the Eroges taking up any spot is rather arbitrary view from the original poster.

And i do agree with your point about what is questionable.

Femboys be here me thinks:

But yes certainly not the same number.
Probably GoG expecting them not to sell as well, guess they don't know how especially women really dig the Yaoi stuff.
(From what I heard anyways, it's not my cup of tea so I don't follow much)

In the past I saw the anime\hentai and the main character was a bit too rapey for my tastes.. also he treates badly the poor Sill :(
high rated
Rance games are quite legendary, and they are beyond just "porn games". Yes, there is porn in them, but it's more like Mass Effect or even The Witcher: you spend a lot of time in between the adult content, playing a game with actual gameplay. There's a reason why Rance has had staying power as a franchise and Sengoku Rance is actually a great strategy game.

Yeah, that one is disqualified on the name alone. They need to embrace it, not disgrace it. Trap is a terrible term, outdated, and bluntly put, unfriendly.

Says the person who wants more "Yaoi".

I certainly don't understand the Japanese but I also certainly wouldn't get hung up on a word that simply doesn't have the same connotation compared to over here.
