truhlik: I still not understand why are people so much against selling adult games. If you're interested you can buy them. If no, just easily skip them.
End of story.

FrodoBaggins: I still don't understand why some people think it's okay to degrade women by parading them around half-naked, with their privates bulging out, just for little boys to gawk at.

As I already said several times, GOG is not supposed to be a tacky porn club for boys.
And I already said several times that there is nothing degrading or sexist in admiring women's beauty. Yet, have you listened? No. So, why would you expect other people to listen to you?

Are you not aware of what is happening in the table-top games industry now? Of what is going on in Wizards of the Coast company? People like those don't stop crying when they are let in. They only start crying louder, demanding change to accommodate their tastes.

GOG isn't your personal prude store either, narcissist.

and I still don't understand why after reading all this "objectualization" \ "sexploitation" \ "degradation" stuff I go out to the street and see lots of women wearing even less clothes than my oh-so-loved eroge \ FTGs \ hentai heroines. sometimes even on the winter days.
once I asked why. and found that they want to dress this way, for their own pleasure not for males and nobody's to judge them.
I'm totally at a loss here.
maybe you could explain it to me, then?

1) They are not women, but just a bunch of pixels. Unexpected, right?
2) GoG owners and some users think otherwise. Deal with it

bombardier: You will be OK if you just ignore all the Asian looking game posters and ones with blank 3D faces staring at you.
That's an apt description. The forum took a while to load for me so I checked my "on sale" bookmark to see if the site was working and this attachment was what I was greeted with, your description is almost exactly what I thought!

Have you considered that women aren't one big hive-mind and and might have different opinions on things? Is it really so hard to understand that the person you asked wanted to wear certain clothes because she liked them, not because she wants men to like them and that it's none of your business anyway?

Not directed at the people I quoted: The complete lack of empathy and desire to understand from some of the posters here is frankly quite scary. "I want sex games so how dare you be against them even if you find them genuinely troubling, you're so selfish!" Try looking in the mirror Agent-94.

nope! of course I didn't consider such blasphemy!
...
okay, my bad. I'm too lazy with long sentences.
"once a while ago there were times when I'd been asking ladies why do they dress so frivolous?" is better, I hope?
also, you've completely missed my point. but okay, I forgive you.

So you asked a few women and they all didn't dress up for men's pleasure? I'm still missing your point it seems! But I am curious if you would care to explain it like I'm stupid :-D

Jesus. It was a joke. About how childish she's acting. Hence the "treehouse", as if we were kids sitting in a treehouse with a "no girls allowed" sign. What did you think I was saying? Offering her a position as GOG's new boss?

Thanks for making me explain a joke, nothing I hate more.

Well, there is "I want sex games and if you don't want them - you can just don't buy them" and "I don't want sex games so noone should have possibility to buy them". Isn't the second one more selfish?..

There are a lot of people who think that games with a lot of violence and blood are horrible, unacceptable, etc. So, now they need to be removed from GoG to specialized sites too? Of course no! I agree that each user should be able to block for himself what he personally does not like. But to demand that what you do not like is not available to everyone - this is absurd. Someone considers shooters unacceptably violent, someone says that simulators, search for objects and even many quests are not full-fledged games, etc. If you delete everything that seems unsuitable to one or another group of people, two and a half games will remain on GoG

How should I know? Especially, considering how people say most stupid and crazy things seriously. Considering things you've said in the past too.

Also, the "treehouse" allegory was quite often used in the videos and articles about table-top games situation.

Ah, that bit wasn't specifically directed at you. How selfish the second one is depends on who the games affect (and how badly) and who they're made by and for, in my opinion. My probelm is with the nasty comments directed towards the people who are upset by the games and the people who are unable or unwilling to take into consideration how someone else feels.

"I'm upset because someone doesn't want me to acces sex games even though there's absolutely masses of porn available" is, to me, a much less sympathetic stance than "I don't want these games to be available here because they make me feel so objectified / worthless / dehumanised". If the balance of society had been different between the sexes (in terms of opportunity / ownership / rape) perhaps I would feel differently (obviously is has been and is changing and I'm not suggesting liking these games makes you a bad person).

As an aside; I don't think Breja deserves any naked girls in his treehouse.

First of all, if a person is oppressed by a handful of pixels, he should seriously work on self-esteem, and not decide who should have access to what and who should not. Games and real life are two completely different things.

Everything is extremely simple. GoG is a store that sells games? Yes. Are these games? Yes. So they have the right to be sold here. Are those who don't like them forced to buy them? No. Just like no one is forced to buy shooters or walking simulators. So what's the problem? If you don't like some games, don't buy them, don't play them. Usually normal people do just that.

Think for yourself, what will happen if everyone starts demanding the removal of what they strongly dislike? One will say "Remove AO games, they offend me", another - "Remove shooters, they breed violence", the third - "Remove racing games. Due to traffic violations, a huge number of people die every year, and such games promote the violation of these rules", etc. And what, we will remove half of the games from the store? Or will we fulfill the requirements of only one group of people, spitting on others? Why? Why are conditional opponents of violence worse than opponents of sex?

BTW, you're playing with words. But two can play this game...
1) "I'm upset because someone considers themselves superior to me, trying to limit my rights because of their own wishes"
2) "I'm upset because others don't want to do things the way I want and demand respect for their wishes as well"

Fans of these games do not require opponents to buy them or even just go to their pages. And opponents demand to deprive fans of the opportunity to buy what they like. That is, they restrict other people's rights for the sake of their own wishes. This is the real selfishness. And also an attempt to create inequality. After all, by saying "our desires should be placed above yours, and not on the same level," they record their opponents as second-class people.
