Curious to know if there's a way for Kickstarter backers to receive a GOG key in place of the Steam ones they got long ago.

This game is age 16+/should be rated T IMHO, compared to some of the shit they willingly allow minors to consume. German government is probably lagging behind again.

Blocked here too, thanks to the lovely puritans running my country.

I really didn't want to have to get a VPN, but it's looking more and more like I have no choice.

Once again, it is probably not the German authoritys but the "Bundesmedienanstalt". They are on a raid and are trying to ban porn or porn like things wherever they can (for underage Germans but older Germans are collateral damage) and they are the main reason AO games are blocked for Germany on Steam and GOG (fun thing: they did not succeed with actual porn sites so far but we all know that GOG and Steam don't have a backbone). This has nothing to do with the government itself or the BPjM.

Thanks, the game does look like a labour of love.

I'm just a lot pickier at 30$+ price points than I am at <20$. I'll take a peek later and see if I can find more info about it.

gosh darn German government

Lost my interest in this game . Sorry .

What do you mean "probably not"? So you don't actually know then?

Regardless, it doesn't matter. There's forces within your country that are the reason why these games aren't releasing. GOG and Steam are not going to fight for you just to release adult games in Germany. If it was a simple thing, or something that would make Valve a lot of money they would have done it already.

Does it work on win7 sp1?
Did anyone check?

Thanks!

No problem. I totally get it on the price point, and it's why I always am more hesitant to give the hard sell on something like this. But yea, check it out more later on, and see what you think.

Circumventing region-locks per VPN is - at least in the case of Steam (don't know about GOG though) - against TOS, meaning your account can get banned. In that regard, the VPN-advice is rather questionable.

From what I know, the game isn't banned in germany, but needs a decent enough age verification, which both Valve and apparently also GOG are too lazy to implement.

That leads us to the old sentence Gabe Newell uttered almost a decade ago: “One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It's a service issue."

No, I am quite sure since the game is not on the index. On the other hand I know for sure that the Bundesmedienanstalt Schleswig Holstein reached out to Steam and others and shortly after those AO games were blocked. If you want to read German articles about it I could post them.

Let me explain how German laws are working. There are only a few games that are actually banned in Germany, most games can be purchased by every adult German without problems if they verify their age. Neither GOG nor Steam has such an age verification and THAT is the reason why they decided to simply region block those game (which btw is against EU laws but who cares?) . Steam and GOG siomply went the easy route and blocked everything they THOUGHT could get them in trouble - no matter if that would even be the case or not.

Are they too lazy though? I mean, why overhaul the entire age verification system for Germany? It might not be that simple of a thing to do, and it might actually piss off the overwhelming majority of your customers. Does anyone want to have to file a Government ID with Valve just to buy games? No. Not saying that is what would need to happen, but it's much easier to just block the games in your country.

I mean, I'll leave GOG out of this since they just started selling these games, but you don't think Valve would have made the changes if it was easy enough to do, wouldn't negatively affect their other customers, and they would make enough money from German customers? Of course they would have.
I looked quickly on the Steam forum, and it looks like it does run on Windows 7, but it seems like there's reports of issues on it.
Seems like an issue with your country then. Why would GOG or Valve overhaul their age verification system if it's going to negatively affect everyone else in the world? It seems like your country is just being unreasonable. I'm sure Valve would have done what needed to be done if it was easy enough to do, didn't negatively affect the customers in pretty much every other country, and if they made enough money on the German market. The answer to all of that is probably not in your favor.

In space no one can hear you scream... from pleasure.

I'm skeptical about erotic games because in my limited experience (old strip pokers and some Larry's adventures) they suck... err I mean they are either primitive, either "second-degree funny" because you're not supposed to take sex seriously in a game and certainly not mast*rbate while playing, and the innumerable Hentai visual novels look barely interactive so don't really qualify as games for me.

I've read positive feedback about Subverse but I'm cautious untill it's out and properly reviewed because, there's such a *legitimate* desire for good games with quality sex that I feel a rabid fanbase will support anything to show they are here and willing to pay.

Now, if this game has good parts outside of sex and good interactive sex sequences (not just clitty-clicky) and a real seducing strategy and psychology (not just give 10 gifts to receive sex), it could be worth a try.

Have been using a VPN for purchasing geo-locked titles on GoG for years now, and never was reprimanded or sanctioned for doing it. Which is also exactly what a VPN is there for - obfuscating that it's actually me, Herr Swedrami, picking up these titles I'm legally allowed to purchase "under the counter", so to speak

I'm not one to wait for things to get better eventually or, in the worst case scenario, never, so I just take matters into my own hands and make use of perfectly legal alternative ways to get what I want.
