GOG has certainly been nowhere close to being 'fine.'
GOG leaving money on the table in order to appease the Puritan/censorship-minded section of its customer base makes zero sense.
If GOG were to continue to ban AO games solely for Puritan/censorship reasons, like it used to do before a months ago, then that means 100% of the money for those games goes to platforms that don't censor & ban them for Puritan reasons, i.e. Steam, Manga Gamer, JAST, etc.
GOG might make some extra money on these games, but they might also loose money as well.
I just checked my financial statements for last 3 years and GOG expenses are ahead of Steam expenses by a ratio of 4 to 1. I am here from the early days, and I liked their mission.
I was OK to wait a while for games to get here, but now that their web site look like shady porn site pushing asset flip rape simulators in my face, I don't really see any benefits over Steam.
If this is my view, don't you think that there are also some developers that will get tired of this half porn site and decide that it is not worth their time to actually sell games here? Pushing porn games will not stop the decline of GOG. It will more likely accelerate it.
With all the infrastructure and coding in place, GOG could easily make a spinoff Good Porn Games and put these type of games there. No censorship and with 4chan type of forums where everything goes.
