Just have the game LISTED and blocked in China. You're going downhill with no brakes AT ALL. JUST PATHETIC.

Lol the PC Gamer article the OP quoted got updated.
GOG suddenly pulls troubled horror game Devotion mere hours after its return was announced

That didn't take long.

Update: Earlier today, Red Candle Games announced that its horror game Devotion would be released on GOG. But now, according to a tweet from GOG itself, that is no longer the case.

This is a sudden (and baffling) decision. Who are these mysterious 'gamers' and what exactly did they say that provoked GOG to pull the game? We've reached out to the company for comment.
Well gone, gog! Real horrorshow!

Best way to wiggle yourselves out of this one is to go "Whoops, the intern posted false info! Calm your tits, everyone" and go ahead with the release on the 18th. If that means your site gets banned in China, so be it. Everyone there uses a VPN anyway, so it's not like a ban would close the market to gog altogether.

Because unlike what you may think, this isn't going to go away.

scrubking: CDPR cannot be trusted anymore. If they will bow to China to censor one game they will do it again for others. They don't care about us anymore. They are not a pro consumer company anymore.
"Users" (Chinese 50 Cent Party 五毛党 members) asking a game to be taken down is a very weak excuse to do this. Must be something else. Have the Chinese hacked GOG and are holding user data hostage?

Just removed my credit card info from GOG store, I shouldn't have added it at all.

Definitely won't be buying anything from the Winter Sale now.

Complainers please note, your whining is nothing next to the massive paycheck that comes from selling Cyberpunk in China, and the promise of not closing operations there in the future.

Sure someone might feel a bit sad, but in the end, ....ca-ching

And this is how China takes over the world, because morally bankrupt cowards like those running GOG are more interested in money than doing what's right.

Will be very happy now to download all my games and be done with GOG.

So fucking what? The threat of losing a market under such circumstances is not worth selling your soul for. Neither is throwing everyone else under the bus for it, for that matter. No one with any agency or moral code should stand for authoritarian bullies like the CCP or those that support them.

Imagine having the temerity to call legitimate ethical complaints "whining".

Doesn't matter, freedom to criticize a leader is more important than money

Cyhort: GOG is already deleting other topics about this. I wouldn't be surprised if they purge all mention of Devotion by the end of the day.
Yeap, tried to reply to one about GOG pandering to China, got a 404 error before less than a minute.

Then flood twitter, instagram, facebook, everything you can. Archive articles and forum posts, don't let those bitches get away with bowing to china and Xinnie the Pooh.

Oh, and don't forget to never buy from GOG until they apologize and restore Devotion.

I'm a writer. Already half way through an article about why I will NEVER buy another game from GOG.com.

Because fuck them and their disgusting cowardly morals.

dtgreene: Honest question here:

There've been some mentions of Winnie the Pooh (and even one of "Xinnie the Pooh"), and even a picture of Winnie the Pooh, in this thread. Could someone please explain, in as neutral fact-based terms as possible, what the relevance is?
Xi Jinping has been said to look a lot like Winnie the Pooh, and he got so offended by it that he ree'd and had the character banned in China.

The leader of China, Xi Jinping, banned the character Winnie the Pooh in China because there was a meme about him resembling the character. People now use images of Winnie the Pooh as a way to mock and defy him and the government of China.

They banned Winnie the Pooh in China, because people were joking that Xi Jinping looks like Winnie the Pooh. Since then it became a meme.

A running joke in China is that one of the leaders looks like Winnie the Pooh, and consequently Winnie the Pooh was banned in China.

Several years ago there was a picture on the internet about Chinese president Xi Jinping looking like Winnie the Pooh. Then Chinese censors started censoring it and even banned Disney's Winnie the Pooh movie from being released in China. Naturally people reacted on this by doubling down the on the Xi/Winnie the Pooh joke as a way of making fun of Chinese dictatorship.
