Odd. For "Being a DIK" ad on the front page, I see only a couple of pretty female faces. The only difference to e.g. the Cyberpunk 2077 ad is that the two women are smiling, and they are not holding a gun like that CP2077 chick is doing.

As for "VenusBlood", I didn't even realize it is an adult game, until I visited the game page and it warned about adult content.

Now, I don't know what pr0n sites you've visited, but the images there are quite different. Those images are no more NSFW than e.g. the video thumbnails I get on my Youtube homepage (for some reason quite many joke videos seem to select good-looking young women to their thumbnails...).

You don't force feed a baby a steak though, do you?

Some games are actually DRM-Free on Steam including a number of those porn games you want so much.... i come to GOG because i want *actual* games that are DRM-Free (of which most of the actual games i play ain't DRM-Free), that i play to get sucked into a world thats not our own, and have fun, not whip my dick out at the next nude image that comes up.

Those "games" i wouldn't call such, it's more like *insert some basic platforming between nudes*

At the end of the day if the store page starts getting filled with it without no choice to remove them from view, i'll simply stop with GOG and move onto another store. Download my games and put the middle finger to this account.

You want a choice? so do i. I don't want porn to be the primary "games" i see on the storepage, i can get it elsewhere whenever i feel like it.

Eh no Steam games aren't drm-free unless you can indeed run them without having any game client for em to start up..and not having to find obscure or odd work arounds nor cracking ,which last I checked it seems the Steam cliuent is needed unless the user themselves does alot of the work to decouple the client from the game or whatever one wants to call it .. As yes technically its a form of drm to have games needing a client launcher to run

"Think of the kids"? Really?

Gog(forums/store....and some of it's games) are for those 16-18 and up......responsible parents should do their jobs and keep their kids away from said content and away from sites they are not supposed to be on.

No one is doing anything of the sort to anyone. If you don't like said content, ignore it or shop elsewhere....your call.

K then

Yes, a number of games can be run without Steam being launched. Though i'd be pushing it calling em DRM-Free as i don't know the fine print, but they run without Steam being installed.
It's a fucking storepage, that hasn't had adult content like that until more recently. That then gives no options not to view it.


Jeebus, it doesn't make it fine and dandy, even i don't want to see it every fucking time i visit the storepage.

And do you need to do the work yourself to decouple them from the client/launchers? Asking as last I am aware and still regularly see that seems to still be a fact and the common user would not know how or atleast not have the time to do so.. where as GOG and Zoom platform its a one click to get the offline no client/launcher at all needed versions of them on ones pc

Edited in Which again if you need to do all the leg work yourself and find out how and need the time to do it then drm free is not true for Steam releases

No you just click the games exe and it will play without loading Steam. Not all Steam games are like that, but some are, The Will of The Wisps for one.

It's literally just a few tame images on the front page when a new set of games is released & a few similarly tame thumbnails in the catalog. The rest(the more risque stuff) is only seen if you view the store pages with said games on them.....which one isn't forced to do.

(side note: the above aside, i'm all for a filter for said content on store pages/in the catalog for those who want such)

For one who is using the "think of the children" argument, you seem to be awfully ok with swearing a bunch.....what if some kid accidentally saw those words you typed? Hmm?

I have yet to find any games like that on Steam other then ones that got delisted .. Which those games it makes sense to rip out the launcher/client requirement because no longer to buy there after all

Edited in again last I was aware as I rarely use Steam anymore

Obviously not. Is GOG putting these games in your account against your will? Otherwise, your analogy does not track. Do people sometimes have a baby in a dining establishment or area or kitchen present with them while the adults themselves eat steak? Yes.

People use workarounds to get games to play without the client (isn't that technically against their terms of service anyway?). Buying on Scheme is not buying DRM-free and is certainly not supporting the concept of DRM-free gaming in general as it is fundamentally a DRMed platform which iirc encourages developers to include layers of DRM in their games. By the way, even games where people consider them DRM-free and are able to run without the client, can be updated at any time to include DRM. Again, a better argument would be to tell someone like me to go to a DRM-free platform like a developer's own site or a DRM-agnostic/partial DRM-free platform like itch.io or a couple that specialize in anime style games. This would still be a poor argument, but I am trying to at least strengthen it somewhat.

Sorry, I couldn't resist the fun of trailing the quote off there :) It's a joke in good fun to keep the discussion light and cool, ok?

Okay, but others will say various non-adult games here "don't count as games" for whatever reason. There are linear indie games here that can be beat in a half hour. There are various forms of visual novel/movie games. There are simulators which in many cases are unlikely to be considered "games" in the traditional sense (though maybe a "game theory" sense describes them as games more accurately). GOG also sells some non-adult movies, which are clearly and unequivocally not "games". Additionally GOG sells soundtracks, artbooks, guides, etc separately from games (though I think all need the game to buy them), which themselves are clearly and unequivocally not "games".

At the end of the day I think the criteria to focus on is DRM-free. I agree it would be useful to have filters so one can exclude content from search. My personal theory is that GOG/stores in general don't necessarily like to do that, because perhaps they hope eventually someone will relent and buy products that keep appearing in front of them.

And i'm all for a filter for swears too :) of which i have yet to see such an option, but then i hardly visit this forum except to give away freebies.


Nothing is going to stop the porn *games* train thats going, trying to stop that is a lost cause because of the money involved, just resuse a few models across a bunch of games and away you go.

But hey, people want a choice to buy them, yeah and people want a choice not to see it.


Just like old porn pop-ups everytime you visited a website.. the solution wasn't "uhh just don't use the internet".



I know of a few..

I think people would see how weird the arguments being put forth in these topics are, if the subject was more neutral rather than about adult-oriented content. Like if I were to say, "This store is flooded with point-and-clicks, until GOG lets me filter them out, I'm not shopping here! Oh, you people who do like them are upset? What's the big deal? Just buy the point and clicks you want on Steam". It seems apparent that is not a quality argument.

Rather than breaking it up and it going on forever and ever.

No, but i am forced to see it (of which i don't want too) unless i don't use the GOG store at all.

And again you can buy games from Steam some of which do not have any DRM tied too them, you can uninstall Steam and still play them, yuou can move them across to another computer and still play them.

I know because i have done so.



GOG has movies? yeah i wouldn't know i don't see them unless i want too.




The fact is at one point alot of Steam top sellers was for me was hentai, that ended up being mixed into the list alot, i was tired of looking through it everytime just to find an actual *decent* game i might get into, it was annoying to the point i just stopped bothering to look at the storepage altogether, until i eventually found the option to filter it all out.

Yes i loved seeing that gay porn on the front page too, was really up my street...


Personally i'd rather do away with stores and not have one on my PC, but with that outside of going the illegal route, i don't have one, which is rather unfortunate.

But until then, you are fine to swear in some posts? What about them children, bruh? o.0

And then you thretten to not shop at Gog again?
One word: lol
