JuWalk: Well, show me the real reasons to decline these games. Not another subjective "I don't like them" or "They insult me". Again - the REAL ones. Some law or rule. Is there any? Nope. Do this games violate GoGs DRM-free position? No. So...?
Breja: Most of them look like utter trash, and released in such large numbers over a short period of time they make the whole store look somewhat trashy and hurt the image of a "curated" store GOG tried to cultivate, and they make the already questionable curation look like an insulting joke when a porn game with 19 votes on the wishlist gets a release, but a developer of a game with almost 600 votes actively seeking a GOG release can't even get a reply from GOG. Selling games with sex and boobies is nothing wrong. But the way GOG is going about it and other aspects of its curation is, in my opinion at least, problematic.
For example, for me "Thomas Was Alone" looks like trash, and nothing more. But there are users who think otherwise. And if GoG ever adds it to their catalog, I will not be indignant and demand to remove it. At the same time, if GoG one day decides to add a more or less objectively bad AO game to the catalog - I will be with you on the same side of the barricades, opposing it. It's just very important to be able to distinguish between "this is really bad" and "I personally don't like this"
