Also the Tiananmen square obviously shows that not everyone shares the CCP values. Just that they get killed if they voice it.

lace_gardenia: welcome to capitalism. it's always been this way.
Always. lol
China gave the world the Chinese Flu pandemic. Capitalism is giving us a vaccine in record time.
The Chinese people rape, mutilate and murder minorities in a fashion last performed by Hitler and the National Socialist party.

Or, to quote Dara Ó Briain, "China has two words for Tibet, and it's China. So F*** them".

Either way.
GOG. Give us Devotion. Or don't expect any from us as your customers.

EasyGamer: Here's how GoG should have dealt with this matter:

1) Add Detention to the store (Red Candle Games' first work - the developer of Devotion). This would introduce the dev to GoG costumers without alienating anyone - Detention is still on Steam and Netflix even has a show based on it;

2) Allow a few weeks to pass;

3) Then, without any warning or fanfare, add Devotion to the store, as GoG usually does with the new games it adds every week;

4) Keep Devotion on the store regardless of presumable external influence.

Just my two cents...
The problem was that Tencents are more than two cents. :D

Mr.Mumbles: Must be nice to be brainwashed so completely. I can't imagine living in a country where one simple critique could put a person into so much deep shit. Hail, dictator Xi!

toxicTom: Maybe you should talk to some Chinese (not expats with a grudge, that's small minority) people once in a while. The mentality, the whole system of values is simply... different.

I wouldn't want to live like that and probably couldn't. I'm myself more of a loner who values freedom. But their views and values are different, and I respect that. Calling that "brainwashed" is... actually one sided to the point of brainwashed.
Tiananmen Square shows that there are plenty of people that don't buy into the CCP propaganda. They just get killed for voicing it.

lace_gardenia: china is capitalism with communist aesthetics

they have billionaires
Who are all interlinked within the CCP, hmm, funny, I'm sure there's some honest Joe (not Biden), Qiáo who is working in a rice field totally loaded, he's just breaking his back for the giggles, I'm sure.

Here's what's going to happen (just my two cents):
Instead of learning something out of this debacle and being clearer in communication *almost cracks up* or thinking ahead,
they just won't communicate at all, which to be honest isn't that much of a downgrade, sadly.

Are you letting Winnie the Pooh run your company, CD Projekt RED?

Weak ass move, GOG. I can sort of understand being blackmailed by Chicom--everyone knows who was responsible for baleeting Sony Pictures after all--but pretending it's some sort of popular grassroots movement is just insulting to those who know how the world works.

Relevant quote from Wikipedia:

"The moment we start becoming conservative [and] stop taking creative risks and business risks, and stop being true to what we're doing, that's when we should worry. And I am not worried. Our values and our care for what we are doing and – hopefully what gamers would agree with – care for gamers is what drives this company forward. It's my personal horror to become a faceless behemoth of game development or publishing or whatnot. As long as I am here I will be fighting for this not to happen."
— CD Projekt Red founder Marcin Iwiński, on maintaining independence[74]

Can someone find the castle where the real Marcin is being held prisoner? I think maybe he needs a rescue from the body snatchers.

I never heard about this game, but delisting it before it was released is a bad move. Probably GOG wanted to release the game, but someone high up in the company blocked this to avoid controversy in China. Or maybe they were spammed by army of bots. GOG of course has full rights to add and remove games from his catalogue as he wants, but the example of Devotion is quite disturbing. It simply seems bad that the game is removed due to political issues.
