GOG knew going in that releasing Devotion would create a backlash.

So I'm sad and surprised to see that it's been pulled so quickly. Also a little weirded out. Was it pushback from investors? A credible threat of DDOS or some other form of cyberwarfare? Like, dang, they knew what they were getting into. A flip-flop that fast is seriously weird.

Might as well put this here. The Quartering: CD Projekt Red DESTROYED! Bent The Knee To Chinese Censorship On Devotion & Cyberpunk 2077 Mess
This too while we're at it: CD Projekt Red vows to clean China boots! Cyberpunk 2077 owners bow before Xi and cancels Devotion!

As long as he keeps forcing thr Chinese slaves to makr my cheap electronics I do not care, and dont lie either do you. There is a phone thats made in the usa and its 2000 dollars, and worse spec wise than a phone from 10 yeara ago. So if we cant call small p syndrome chinese preidnet whinny the moron pooh in video games who cares.

I rather enjoy thier slaves making me my refigerators, cell phones,oleds, rvs, computers and everything.

Sadly this kind of reasoning actually has some merit. There are so many people who are upset about GOG's stance on selling this game, yet they think nothing of buying their slave made goods from China. Why is GOG expected to make some kind of political statement regarding this game when the general public has been supporting slave labour in China for decades. It makes zero sense.

It's called appeasement, first Hong Kong then Taiwan then the chairman puts Wagner on his playlist and gets the sudden urge to invade Poland.

You should have put /sarcasm at the end. You know the internet.

On the other hand, wouldn't have helped either, people don't like having their hypocrisy shoved down their throats anyway XD

The odd thing is, GOG already decided to make that statement independently. They had to know the CCP is ready to revoke business licenses and such.

I haven't seen anybody calling for GOG to do so (although I am very curious as to how many votes Devotion got on the community wishlist before all this. My guess is not a lot, compared to other games.).


E: Wow, those are some real clickbait youtube video titles. Also, really wish people would say CCP instead of China. There's a government, and then there's millions of regular people.

Same as Blizzard, GOG is just a business. Let's enjoy the DRM-free until it lasts, and that's it. I've had bigger disappointments this year.
I wonder if this could be fixed removing the Xi Jinping reference, if it hasn't been attempted first, or the people complaining about the game being released would still be mad about it.
And how has GOG reached this point? If they didn't expect reactions they haven't done their homework.

The CCP is China, for all intents and purposes. They're in control and the people are either brainwashed or browbeat into submission. That's just a fact.

I encourage any and all anti-China sentiment. Doing so will not only help the world but even Chinese people themselves.
