Ability to filter adult content.
Added by
Starkrun An option inside of our settings that allows us to filter out adult content. So we won't see it on the main site or while shopping. Most stores already have this feature and it's one GOG.com is missing. The catalog has many 18+ games in it now, and this feature is a needed addition moving forward for GOG.com.

waynebaron I'm on the verge of simply never coming back to GOG again. This isn't difficult you guys, simply add a filter that filters this smut out. There's 0 reason not to have this. Everyone wins.
JNTL @yptrumpet Yes, had to switch to Steam, unfortunately. It's not possible to play with family with the way things are.
Just bought Torchlight 2 on Steam instead of GOG during the sale. Now just checking back once or twice a month to spend the rest of my wallet balance somehow, then it's goodbye to GOG for good.
And even now, there is a gigantic 18+ game banner right on the front page. Ridiculous.
yptrumpet Adding my voice here. Until this filter is implemented I will not make additional purchases on gog.com.
[TO EVERYONE HERE] I invite you to join me. Voting is nice, but it doesn't really matter to companies until you vote with your money.
braarudosphaera You can give feedback in GOG and I'd strongly recommend everyone does. This never used to bother me as I'd just scroll past them but now I have kids showing an interest in gaming and 'Fetish Locator' is on the front page. I didn't know what to say when my 4 year old kid asked what the lady is doing. They either add a filter or I stop letting my kids near GOG and switch to Steam where this has been a standard option for years.
Zephonarch We definitely need an Ignore, or Block feature for Gog since Steam already has it.
Right now, we only have a Tag feature that lets us choose specific tags to view AND whether we want those tags we set to be hidden. That needs to be set to user-specified profiles. Not everyone wants to see nsfw stuff cause they have children to worry about, or addictions to avoid so... just give us more individual options Gog. More freedom is good and keeps customers loyal to your platform.
clarkvyborg Happy to see adult content availably in the market place for those who wish to purchase but wish I could filter it out from my default store page as I am not interested. This is becoming a sticking point for me and leading me make my purchases elsewhere.
Mihmcclure1 Please add a filter to remove these type games or some. P*rn is everywhere and I am disappointed to continually come across it every time I browse for games on your site :-(
JNTL @Draper0307 Kids definitely notice this content -- not just Galaxy, but the website itself. We have games like "Long and Hard", complete with suggestive covers, sitting right on the landing page under deal of the day. Come on.
a_real_user_name How is this not a feature yet? On Steam I can just add an exclusion and it stops spamming them in the shop results. This isn't just a matter of law and morality, how does it help a store to show me content I have no interest in buying? On Steam I can go even further and filter out other genres that do my interest me such as MMOs or freemium games.
The bare minimum here is to add an adult content filter to restore the prior state of the storefront for those not looking for pornographic content.
Hilander It's really sad that GOG has become a front for porn.
Draper0307 The moment my kids notice the adult content, I will not be signing in to GOG Galaxy nearly as much - like likely less that 1% of the time I currently am. If I need to uninstall and stop using GOG, I will do so. There are parents out here who want to raise innocent children! It's important to everyone!
User2570289 @MarkoH01 This has nothing to do with discrimination nor if someone dislike it. If you at least a bit intelligent you would recognize that this is a far more sensible part then just a random filter.
@Faile069 This is really no problem, GoG can recognize where you come from and individualize the content. Anyway it is not all about legalization, it is allso about what you are searching for. It is better to have a filter with certain gaps then have nothing.
MarkoH01 What we need is a filter for EVERY genre. We don't need to discriminate NSFW stuff - it's a genre some like and some dislike, nothing more and nothing less. I can't give this y vote because I am against discrimination. I would vote if this would be a wishlist for a customizable block filter.
Darvond If Boorus can manage thousands upon thousands of tags, GOG can handle what, the few 100s that would be needed?
Faile069 Difficult.
How do you measure what is adult?
I rember a lot of games which were fine for kids in release country but were a no go in my one.
In Germany any kind of Nazi symbols is banned. It is illegal to sell a game with the original National Flag of Germany if it is the one of 1938. Diplay red dots for blood in a shooters was reasons for: adult only!. The same dots in green, the officals were fine with 14+.
Splatter is OK for kids in US it is a No Go in Germany. Low cut or even naked breast(s) dresses for women in no adult game is OK in Germany but No Go in the US.
I do not dare to think how the rules will chnce in future. Just think about gay partnerships.
ParticleSage Bump. Please add this already.
xRavenDICE This definitely needs to be a feature for people that don't want to see adult content, but everybody is being way too overdramatic about it. Like holy crap.

PURPOSE, MEANING, HUMANITY’S ETERNITY
Every human is one part of a larger, eternal design – individual gears in a clock that has no end.
Though you may not fully understand your purpose, your part is just as important as the greatest kings and queens of this planet. Some feel as though their temporary lack of wealth or influence makes them powerless to create change.
THE ALL SEEING EYE
WISDOM, THE INNER VOICE, HUMAN PROGRESS
Humans stand apart from all other creatures on this planet due to their ability to absorb wisdom, delay gratification, and create change through the invisible power inside their minds. embrace millennia of wisdom that leads to wealth, power, and success.
THE LIGHT
GUIDANCE, DIRECTION, HIGHER PURPOSE
Every human is guided by an inner compass that points toward the Light, revealing truth and direction when facing decisions. Given many names by spiritual leaders and unexplainable by science, the Light is an invisible guide that many believe has led them to joy, success, and lives of Abundance. It communicates directly to every human, urging them to strive for goodness and forgo their natural selfishness.

DyNaer The problem is many tags are actually broken. GOG's team fixes your tags first...I don't see a problem to implementing a mature content filter in user options after that.
##@@##@@ @Gog: I'm no prude and I don't believe in censorship, but I believe that adding a content filter to GogGalaxy is an absolute must! Take a good long look at the titanic history-making pushback against Disney, Lucasfilm, Marvel, DC, Anheuser-Busch, and Molson Coors in response to their pushing a highly inappropriate adult agenda in their products! They are the canary in the coal mine indicating that people world-wide are fed up with this garbage. "Get woke; go broke" is not a trendy catch-phrase. It is an economic force of nature. Gog could avoid this storm by simply adding a content filter to GogGalaxy; Gog comes across as being fair, those who want adult content can have it, and the rest of us can block it. Everybody walks away from the table as winners.
Terror of the Low Seas Upvoted. Irrespective of the nature of the work being displayed, the ability to tailor search filters to include or exclude on any possible criteria is a pretty basic requirement. If GOG doesn't provide such a search filtering capability then it's failing at a rather simple function.
Happyarch Something I may add as well, in some jurisdictions not giving a warning nor a disclaimer on a site that contains such contents is against the law.
JNTL Continuing to receive e-mail marketing with adult content. I will be marking the e-mail as spam and reporting to search engines and e-mail delivery service providers.
JNTL There is a method for hiding games associated with a certain tag in search by clicking on the eye icon. This is not adequate for two reasons: 1. Adult content needs to be opt-in, not opt-out. Confirming one's age when viewing rated-M games is a form of opt-in; that is acceptable. Having to turn on a filter to deviate from standard search behaviour is opt-out; that is not acceptable. 2. This does not preclude pornographic games from being displayed on the front page, in the newsletter, or anywhere else except in that specific search session in which the user has taken the time to turn on the filter.
Please check the legal requirements of relevant jurisdictions regarding the access of pornographic materials to minors. If this matter is not dealt with, it will also jeopardize your mail delivery system and irreversibly damage your marketing efforts, as your newsletters will be marked as spam.
leedavis Agreed, BUMP
scientiae "While on the search page, you can type NSFW in the tags search box. Hover the mouse over it and you'll see an eye icon. Click that to exclude games with that tag. You can bookmark the page so as not to set the filters each time. "
Thanks to: Ice_Mage for this tip.

Invader115 I don't blame GOG for allowing this stuff on the platform, Steam did it first. Steam also did a better job of it. Exclusion filters are a good idea in general but this stuff being on the site should make them a much higher priority.
Ozzuneoj The prevalence and "in your face" nature of this content on this site has gotten so bad and so embarrassing that I don't even browse the site anymore after being a member\customer from the very beginning of GoG. My first purchase was 14 years ago. No matter how permissive certain individuals think the rest of the world should be, there are very basic standards of decency that the vast majority of places in the world agree on (apparently including Poland, where this site is based). When I say places I mean cultures\countries\etc. You are selling to an international audience and have 15 years of established customers from all around the world.
It is pretty well understood that sexual imagery has an extremely strong psychologically and biologically driven ability to "grab" the attention of people who are otherwise not looking for it, and it is also widely recognized that things that exploit this can be highly addictive and detrimental to many. This is the reason why it is regulated in most places that actually acknowledge these facts, and this is why so many people don't want to see it, they don't want their families to see it, and they don't want anyone to think they're looking at it intentionally.
I don't play violent games anymore personally, but for those that can't seem to stop making the comparison between games that have any violence in them and clearly sexualized games, do you really think that a banner ad showing yet another cliche "tough guy with a gun" game is going to have the same ability to immediately grab and divert the attention of some kid browsing the site as some of the carefully designed porn\sex game ads?
People are so caught up in their own addictions and so desensitized to the declining standards around them that they can't even see basic things like this anymore. Just because some think it feels good to be dragged around by the eyeballs and genitals by any corporate entity that throws decency out the window and sells out in the oldest and most pathetic way possible doesn't mean everyone else feels the same.
I don't have to shop here, so I don't anymore. Just thought I'd post a comment here to explain why. This is also why I'm unsubscribing from the news letter by the way.
JNTL First time posting to community. I thought I was stupid for not finding the option to filter adult content (by which I mean games designed and marketed specifically as pornographic content, not rated-M Skyrim); is this feature really not available?
If so, this is a dealbreaker for my continued use of the site. There are also immediate and serious legal repercussions in most jurisdictions for presenting and/or publishing pornographic content without a filter of some sort to prevent access by minors, so I would tag this issue as CRITICAL for the team and escalate as needed. I like GOG and would hate to see it go for such an oversight.
juxstapo Wait! I had a stupid moment. You CAN filter the store by tags!! (But only to Include)... WHY ISN'T THERE AN EXCLUDE FUNCTION?!
juxstapo I don't care if anyone wants it, but brazen adult content that I didn't ask for is offensive and should be filterable... for that matter the ability to filter the store by tags *period* would be very welcome, but yeah, I'll totally support OP. I, and many others, have loudly espoused GOG over Steam, but here, they are kicking you guys in the teeth.
exspiracola This was a terrible decision on GOG's part. They made the adult content the _default_ on a site that is available to kids. They made the adult content _mandatory_ (no filter option). And they made it omnipresent (almost >50% of the content is adult now).
This is more of a porn site than a games store now. GOG has gone full Democrat.
LM2021 I just got here searching for clue how to filter out mature and sexual content including "non-consensual acts" and BDSM(!).
GOG is polish company. In Poland it is illegal to present pornography to minors. Either GOG implements this feature *now* or drop all such games from their store else they may face criminal charges soon. Not a civil lawsuit - this is criminal offense.
+The Stranger+ I definitely would like the option to hide them from view. Just an option that I can enable that means I don't have to see them at all.
Chauncellor I welcome adult content, but I *do* mind the deluge of shovelware that GOG seems to be allowing. This speaks to a larger issue of GOG's lacking quality control. GOG used to be a great destination for curation.... Adult content games here are just manifestations of the rot building up on this store front.
polycarpgyarados My kid is old enough (IMO) to enjoy Diablo 1 and other games, but I don't want him playing some other titles, definitely need parental controls.
Andtha I agree. This should be included in the account settings.
Offic3rHotpants Perfectly reasonable.
Reavenling I agree the option should be. All the people should have the choice what to see or what to not.
Shahius I don't care about adult content (to be true, I have never seen it on GOG's front page), but I wouldn't mind some filter options (hide options) by tags. For example, I hate anime style games, I would never play them, never buy them and I would hide them with a light heart.
xman1 And here I thought I was the only one who wasn't 12 years old and found this offensive. Good showing guys. I don't need this on the GoG front page. Definitely needs a filter. Not telling anyone how to run their life and they can go dig into all that all they want, though I wouldn't recommend it, but please keep it away from normal people.
KiNgBrAdLeY7 GOG brings those games CENSORED, anyway (like Full Metal Daemon Muramasa). I agree with those wanting to be able to stop viewing them, since in their current state/GOG-iteration, they are an eyesore and a disgrace. For those games, everybody interested, would do well to buy them in their site of origin, instead of the dumpster fire called gog.
Lin545 ( . ) ( . ) thats eyes, you perv!
AnnoConsortium Absolutely. Just the ability to filter out this lame, low effort, anime porn from my user experience would be greatly appreciated.
McPillager Agreed, that content really needs to be filtered out.
iqfinal Steam lets me filter out sexually explicit games... but GOG can't? Hmmm.
lexluthermiester @GOG Admins,
While I say live and let live, some users do NOT want to see "Adult" content. Some of us have kids and family who are sensitive to explicit content. An option in our user profile to filter out anything classified as "Adult" would be greatly appreciated!
doctorfrog I don't want to see sex games on your site anymore. Please let me filter them out.
PrinceVinc I wish gog would not patronize me and actually let me find "Adult Content" games... pulling a steam and straight up geo blocking me...
