It seems(in regards to games) people dislike censorship as long as it is censorship they are against(so censoring of pc stances/etc, for example).....and if it's censoring of "icky' things in history or people not being able to play as bad people in such games then some seem to be fine with it.

And agreed....I just wish someone would answer my question already(I was actually somewhat genuinely asking in that first post).

Shame on you, GOG. For selling this garbage, and for behaving like craven cowards.

I agree with your assessment and am curious too. Any buyers who can report back?

If we can't talk about Nazi Germany, why the hell are they selling this shit? o.O

I've been finding myself agreeing with most of your posts in this topic but have to say I'm a little confused here. What exactly are you objecting to here? The censoring of Commandos? As far as I understand, that wasn't GOG's doing, it was the developer(or publisher? I don't know).

That's the odd thing: Talk on game politics/political systems/politics related to a game is fine, yet posts on said politics in said game are seemingly not fine(those by others, I mean, not by me....mine seem to be fine for now)...not the ones which were spamming one word over and over/etc, btw, but actual posts discussing the ideas on the game as they relate to it and our world....I think around half the thread is now gone. o.0

It's an incredibly one-dimensional representation of what actually occurred, so for someone that understands what really happened, it's outrageous. If this is acceptable then ANYTHING should be acceptable, and I mean that. It's a disgrace.

He means how those posts discussing the bad guys/events in this game as they relate to it and our world have started disappearing in droves(along with a few actual bad posts as well, which tbh I am glad to see gone).

From the pictures it seems likely one cannot play a bad guy/gal in this game, as the devs seem to want to not allow it for some reason...though I could be wrong.

Hmm, maybe it'll be moddable?
===============================================

Note to all others: I don't want to play a jackboot, if that's what anyone thinks....I just want to have the option to act in a self interested and motivated way(greed/etc) if I felt like it. I can do it in many other games(GTA series, as but one example) so why not here?

Ah. Thanks for the clarity, I think I understand what you're saying now about this game.
Hmmm, seems to me a large scale "new faction" type of gameplay like that would be more likely something the developer would have to implement but I'm not familiar with how this game plays.

Ladies and Gentlemen, here's a friendly reminder from one of your community moderators.

Real life politics isn't for this forum, except in so far as it is directly related to a game.

I've cleaned up the thread. Please try to keep it clean so I can play Master of Magic instead of deleting posts.

Not even factions would be needed, imo....just moral choices as one plays affecting various minor things here and there.
=========================================================

But(serious question) aren't IRL politics(albeit from decades ago) what this game is about?

That question aside: I will stick to talking about the game/aspects of said game as requested.

Great game....I hope you're enjoying it when you can get to it.

Caveat: I've barely read the game page, and I don't know any particulars about the game beyond what I've read. That said, it does appear to be based being part of some resistance movement in Nazi Germany.

If you want to ask about whether the game lets you play as a Nazi, that's fine. It directly relates to the game.

If you want to go into goods versus ills of allowing someone to play as a Nazi, then I'm going to scrutinize it but I might leave it alone.

If you want to have a discussion about what does and does not constitute socialism, or varieties of socialism, then as a mod I also want to see how that relates to the game. Otherwise, please take it to PM or some more appropriate venue of discussion.

To be clear I was just asking if one could play as a "bad" person, or self interested(i.e. maybe greed motivated/etc) in game, not a n*zi(Just wanted that bit to be clear in case anyone thinks or thought the worst).

Also fair enough.

Sounds fair.

Also fair....glad to see you're reasonable. :)

Also thanks for cleaning up the actual bad posts/spammy posts(like the one that spammed one word over and over).

Imagine if this "game" was about Germans being subjected to atrocities by the Allied victors, would it be here?

Nothing I hate more than double standards. o.O

If that sort of game was made in the "potterverse" it'd likely be in the restricted section......can't have some aspects of some events known to all, ya know....it messes with the narrative.

If such a game were made HERE(our world) i'd likely like to see such as it'd be refreshing to see the good and bad on both sides of such events in a game or piece of media, and i'd gladly shell out a few bucks for such to support such brave devs.Look at it from a "positive" side: You get two standards for the price of one. ;)
