firstpastthepost: Most of those guys, to their credit, have identified that GoG refusing to release Grimoire likely has nothing to do with SJWs and more to do with it being a very poorly reviewed and selling game.

SPTX: How many sales does gog need to cover for the cost of selling a game? The wish list is 700 people strong, considering how few people actually go to the wish list, let alone browse it for actual games that are not the latest bethesda fad, I'd assume it would put us far from "poorly selling game". Sounds there is quite a bit of dishonesty going around to me.

SPTX: Welp, nothing wrong with what you quoted. Albeit angry, he sounds perfectly sane. He's pretty funny too when it comes to the gay stuff.

I have yet to be given a good reason for this game not to be on GOG. It's not like the game is even a reflection of that triggering stuff he says. And gog does sell shit games, so the "poorly reviewed" argument doesn't hold water either.
Ultimately it's GOG's call to what they sell or don't, but if they can't come up with proper explanations, then by virtue of precedence (the twitter fiasco that ended up with people getting fired) I'll side with the OP.

If there are bad guys in this fight, they are not difficult to identify.
Regardless of what you think about the validity of GoG not selling one game, you're missing the point by miles. The point has always been that the OPs complaint and his "evidence" of the validity of his complaint aren't remotely correlated. You have to do mental gymnastics to make that so....

You essentially walked into an argument about something and picked one very specific part of the discussion to get very hung up on.

It's like you walked into a discussion about astrophysics and then decided to toss out the whole discussion in favour of talking about the colour of your car. Yes, the way light refracts off your car is how we perceive light, and light refraction may be tangentially related to astrophysics... but it still makes your argument kind of pointless.

surfersurfer: The term SJW is a construction made by right wing "people" to discriminate all what doesn't fit into their limited worldview.

Maybe after you stop discriminating people by calling them SJWs.... not a fan of irony I see.

And how is that discriminating? If I called you an asshole (I'm not!), would that be "discriminating" to you?

Love ya Sachys. but you're stretching. XD
Edit: forget it, I'm out of politics. Friendly reminder that we probably shouldn't discuss politics since it's against forum rules. Looking back at this thread, it should be easy to see why GOG doesn't want politics on their forum.

That's a shame your original comment was pretty much spot on. I didn't agree with it entirely, but more people need to be pointing out that extreme elements on both sides of arguments are drowning out reasonable discussion for a lot of things. I'd be happy with a compromise position being what people are talking about for just one thing.

The lack of self awareness here is astonishing. You guys don't even notice you're in a hug box, distributing good points to each other and coming down full force on the one guy that has concerns (as in worries) about GOG. Just like reddit, the cesspit of the internet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctCrNFmVOHQ
Don't come crying later when your echochamber crumbles upon itself. Get woke, go broke.

Whether I agree with your dislike for conservative people or not; please don't drag the innocent concept of "conservation" through the mud!

There's a difference between being in an echo chamber and having common sense. Most people here are just able to tell that someone's pissing on their leg and trying to tell them it's raining.

Being able to sort out fact from reality does put me in a box. It puts me in the box of having a reasonable and fact based position on what I'm discussion. I'm perfectly willing to listen to a valid argument as to how SJWs are ruining GoG if you have one... the argument the OP presented was not a reasonable argument. Nothing he brought up supported his argument. I'm sorry you're mad that you're losing the argument here and therefor everyone else is in an "echo chamber."

Like I said before, most of the people on the forum who have hangups over the SJW stuff commented in the thread about Grimoire not being released here and they pretty much all agreed that GoG was right to not release it. If you're mad about a game you want not being released here, that's fine... I get that. But it doesn't mean that there's a conspiracy to keep you from buying it.
Something about GOG having certain game schedule of releasing games here and they can't just allow every game into it.

I don't see a compromise in the future at all. All I see is a degeneration in communication until neither side can live with the other and a full scale civil war erupts. Then it will be an ideology that loves guns and controls the food versus the ideology that hates guns and thinks growing food is beneath them. This will not end well...

Conservation is keeping things the same, it's by definition a limiting position. I'm just talking on a pure technical level here, nothing to do with likes or dislikes.
