DetouR6734: And i'm all for a filter for swears too :)

DetouR6734: ....but then i hardly visit this forum except to give away freebies.

DetouR6734: 100+ games and i barely visit the forums? you seriously have some processing issues in that brain of yours.

rjbuffchix: 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.

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.

DetouR6734: With your rep, it doesn't look like it.

But it's the internet i'm sorry to hear you get a little butthurt over something i've said.

DetouR6734: And it's fine for now, Hunniepop did annoy me, but honestly if it continues i will just avoid it altogether, it would be like going to Netflix and sifting through porn movies to find something that isn't.
Sure they may end up being the most watched, and i may view it myself, it doesn't mean i'd want it to be the main thing i'd see when going onto Netflix.

BanditKeith2: You could always go console gaming if you want to full on avoid any ''porn related games''

GamezRanker: Plz stop with the cringy replies......my gut can only handle so much laughing.
Also, plz do try to get back on-topic.....if that's not asking too much.

GamezRanker: This is like going into a supermarket and asking the manager "Can y'all ditch several aisles and compact all the stuff I want into a few sections near the entrance so I don't have to go through the entire store past stuff I don't want every time I want to buy food?"

DetouR6734: Like i said, that would have been like telling people not to use the internet so they wouldn't get any porn pop-ups when browsing the web, it's basically non existent now, but back then there was a whole lot of it.

I shouldn't have to not use the store to avoid seeing it, thats just bad business on GOG's part to be honest, and it's not ideal for them if they are losing profits.

Then don't reply to me, i really didn't ask for your input, but it certainly must bother you so much that you have too.

Yes, that sums up your level of intelligence. Thank you.
