Breja: You could just start a new mix "games by devs you shouldn't support" or something like that
Uhm, come to think of it, I seem to remember a mix with that exact same title! I can't seem to find it now, nor can I remember who made it. I remember seeing it only fairly recently.

Breja: Frankly, the only thing that's obvious from this conversation is that you were acting childishly while GOG was being professional. What did you expect, when your responses were literally just repeating "lol but they are a parasite" and "you are pathetic"? Could you not have even for that one conversation tried to man up and act like a grown up? You were throwing a nasty tantrum and I can just imagine the poor guy on the other side of that conversation rolling his eyes thinking about the manchildren he has to deal with in this job :P

They straight up told you that you're breaking the users agreement, and that you can put the mix back and still have it be negative, just without straight up insulting anyone. If that's too hard for you then you have a problem and should seek professional help.

I don't like Beamdog and I think everyone here knows I have no problem with raging against GOG when they mess up. But this is just ridiculous. You people need to pull your heads out of your asses and try to take a good, sane look at the situation.
This. And no, I'm not a gog.com employee.

A pity you're not a sommelier, cause there's a lot of whine here.

goral: @Caesar
That translation you've posted is worse than bad. At one point it even says " I do not think Beamdog is a parasite" where I've specifically said otherwise ("to że Beamdog to pasożyt to fakt" = "that Beamdog is a parasite is a fact").
I don't claim to speak Polish. I just copy-pasted the translation from Google Translate, the tool you suggested us to use.

In the era of social media, with hundreds of places to post your opinion, do you really need to use a private company's website to do so? Is it that important that the GOGmix uses the word "parasite"?
This is beautiful. Where you seriously expecting GOG to go "yeah bro Beamdog totes suck lol"?

Real Talk:

I dont think GOG should have deleted the gogmix honestly, they should have just renamed it, it seems heavy handed to have to just deleted it and not given the creator a chance to rename it to something else, and so I do not blame goral for seeing the hand of Beamdog behind this, because that is what it looks like happened. (on closer introspection this IS censorship but I aint going to delete it, because thats dumb.)

It looks like Beamdog got mad, soiled its diapers and made GoG delete it.
I dont mean to sound like alex jones, but thats what it looks like from here.

I do want to say to goral that name calling and accusations is not going to help, but I dont blame you for feeling that way.
but calling everyone who disagrees with you or offering a dissenting opinion a gog fanboy or hidden employee alt isnt going to help, but it is your right to do so.

but come on GoG, stand up for us at least once and a while? allow us to us gogmixes to send warnings about companies we dont like, you cant exactly say that Beamdog hasnt done shady shit in relation to its various EE's that no one asked for or their attempts to inject left-wing politics in to games they have "enhanced"? or refusing to allow the sale of the original retail editions by themselves? come on, that is like the shit nintendo did in the 80s

Its getting harder and harder to stand by GOG these days, but then again GOG is a company and companies are out to make money, but please choose to make money the right way.

ok rant over.
(dont rant at 6am folks)

No, GOG should not have done either of those things. Beamdog is the parasite of the industry. That's a factual, truthful statement. To delete it or to force the creator to rename it are both acts of censoring the truth.

I dont disagree with you on that, no fan of beamdog here.

on later introspection you are right about it being censorship

(I hope you do see this.)

This is GOG.... there is no method to rename GOG Mixes as far as I'm aware, hence deleting it and making a new one is the only option.


As for the OP's original complaint... I'm with Breja, this is GOG's website and they can do what they want. Of course they are not going to allow a libellous statement against one of their business partners on their website, at the end of the day they are responsible for the content published here.

amok: if someone comes and shits in your living room and you say "OY, don't shit in my living room!" and then cleans it up, it does not make you a fascist.
are you really this stupid or are you just pretending to be for amusement?

if you want to use your example, more accurately would be this:

you live in a place that has a sign on the door that says "you can shit where you like"

but then someone you don't like for personal reasons comes and shits on your couch and you kill them because you've arbitrarily decided that that person isn't allowed to shit where they like

well... gOg DO NOT have a sign that says "you can shit where you like". far there from. this is not a public space, it is the forum of a privately owned business.... whom may want to appear professional.. it is a store, and storekeepers tend to not want shit in their showrooms.

(edit - in before "well they have "Slender"" jokes)

who the fuck said gog has a sign that says that!?!?

fuck, I can't converse with people who can't use simple logic

- anyway, it's been made clear that the issue was the title of the list, not the fact that the list exists, and that the OP wasn't accurately representing what happened in the exchange

so, not so much fascistic as just petty and whiny stupidity on the part of beamdog who apparently has no sense of self-worth
