Adult content account filter option
Added by
lexluthermiester Due to the increasing number of adult title being made available on GOG, an option in a each user account to filter that content out of their GOG experience needs to be made available. Said filter will remove such content from view when logged in as well as removing it from promotional emails without affecting anything else.
Steam has had this feature option for many years and it works well. Normally I would not compare GOG to Steam like that as GOG has much better on offer. Yet in this situation, Steam has a feature option GOG seriously needs.
CatR After a long time trying to avoid porn ads on GOG, I decided to unsubscribe from the newsletter for good. I shouldn't have to draw the blinds to open a marketing email.
I already end up not browsing GOG for new games because half the store page is pornography. Guess I am just buying games on GOG I already know I want, no point browsing it any longer. It'd be less offensive if the porn they sold wasn't so awful, they don't even sell good porn.
shovas Steam can filter this, why can't we do it here?
OneEyedOstrich Had to unsubscribe from the newsletter because of the unwanted porn ads.
I normally like seeing different promotions but I don't want to see porn in my inbox. The fact that there's no age check for this content is ridiculous! How can GOG get away with selling porn to children? Something doesn't add up.
Elmeri Just unsubscribed from the newsletter since it was full of porn.
RayvenUK Not only the games, but the marketing emails too. I don't partucularly want to unsubscribe from the marketing emails as often these lead me to interesting deals, but today (Valentines day) I got an email full of sexual adult games - not happy at all about this and tyrust me, I'm no prude.
I mean...
FETISH LOCATOR!!!!
You are seriously starting to do harm to your (up until today for me) excellent reputation.
I'm sorry, but I'm removing myself from the email lists until this is sorted, and if I miss out on deals then so be it.
teroynator GOG is a games archive not pornhub or facebook. selling sex to kids is illegal unless your an online platform it would seem. how theres a button to find sexual content and no exclude option is proof of their intent to push poorly made sexual content on children. if the only way to exclude nsfw content is as complicated as canceling a planet fitness membership, there is clearly a problem with management!!
erifneerg if you need to be 18+ to buy this stuff in person, why put in th windows display?
fl37ch3r Like the DRM-free and Game Preservation mission GOG is on. However, the lack of content filtering makes browsing the store very unpleasant, especially since this has been an option in Steam for a while.
I'll be taking my game purchases elsewhere until this is resolved, as I'd rather deal with DRM than this.
Lazbot I think Steam's solution is fantastic and it's not about being able to just apply a filter in the store- it's about being able to set a filter on your account to customise your store experience.
For example, I want to just omitt the sexually explicit (porn games where it is the primary focus) without affecting other R18+ games that might have some or none of this content (like Cyberpunk/Witcher/Doom/whatever).
And it's not just while searching in the store, but filtering the entire store experience including New Arrivals, etc.!
See the screenshot- it's my ideal option.

Elmeri +1. I don't want to see porn in my game store.
I threw together a quick & dirty Tampermonkey script that should do the job, but I'd really like this as an official feature.

I'm surprised GOG didn't build this feature at the same time they decided to host NSFW games.
mcdado Yes, it can already be filtered, but browsing discounted games and having the filter them either by not clicking them or by selecting the appropriate filter, is a waste of time and of brain power.
DyNaer Filter Sexual Content (there's a tag in the filters of the store too) would probably exclude some games some users don't want to be filtered (pretty sure).
Instead NSFW would be more suitable (all those games have certainly this tag in their respective store page) but its already possible to browsing the store with this tag : you just need to enter the word manually under tags section and selecting the eye on the right to filter out those games. (probably with so many tags all of them are not visible without typing it).
However an implicite entry checkbox in the user preferences would be much more better than the workaround above.
I vote for this feature just because the actual solution offered by GOG isn't really good.
However some users don't consider those titles as trash or shovelware : just respect them as i respect those who don't want to see those titles while browsing the store.
Bitterson +1 For a NSFW filter.
On a freely accessible site that markets products to children, you think this would be a no brainer.
Zazak29 I would really appreciate a NSFW filter where I don't have to see these sex games you keep adding to your site, GoG. Everyone else is free to buy such games but I'm personally not into that.
Wamtu Come on, GoG! Steam has this, and literally everyone here wants this except one histrionic loser named after a lost city of gold. I can't even look at the new releases without being bombarded by this sludge.

Now stop shaming people will you. The antisex movement is manipulative and evil, if this is where you are coming from, please do some reading on connections between anti-sex / anti-porn activism and religious extremism, white supremacy and anti-Semitism. And I am not joking, look it up.
fr33kSh0w2012 Aww... what's the matter don't like it, You idiots wanted it.
2Plus2 There is no excuse for there being no filter for this garbage, and furthermore, I don't know who at GOG decided their site needed to allow it in the first place, but they should be fired.
medeii I'd like a way for my personalized, default view to exclude adult/erotic games.
I'm thoroughly in favor of adult games having a home on GOG. However, very few of them would ever be to my tastes, and I'm perfectly capable of searching out that content when and if I want it. I'd rather not have my usual store experience cluttered with scantily-clad women breasting boobily across the screen.
bobjohnbob If you can have a big banner advertising NSFW content, how hard can it be to implement a filtering system based off of it? AFter the recent deluge of adult content, without the option to filter, I'm going to have to uninstall the gog store from all computers that my kids play on.
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.
Andtha An adult filter should definitely be in the account settings.
darthhwarrior Don't mind adult content being sold, it is good they got places to sell.
But the amount is overwhelming with so many underwhelming quality it is absurd, no quality control. It is going the same direction as steam where it is just trash on trash on trash.
And it is making finding other things hard to find that are not porn/hentai with some weird gaming. (Not to mention some fetishes are really borderline psychological help hints)
Draper0307 Likely going to have set gog *not* to auto-login if we can't change this soon.
nytimz Adding a more general EXCLUSION filter option, not only for NSFW content but other tags such as JRPG, nudity, etc...
ceceron This week has been too much. I won't buy anything/come back/recommend GOG until the porn thing gets under control. It is a literal crapfest right now. There are good visual novels, also with erotic content, but this mass produced shit has terrible quality and is everywhere. I'm out for now, will check if there is any improvement when Silk song is released.
npatricksmith I was coming to GOG today to spend some money but I can't turn off NSFW content so I'm going elsewhere.
themaster6666 Crappy porn asset flics is not what I come to GoG for. Sort this out.
ceceron The opt-out for the erotic content would be enough for me, but the opt-in should be the standard on a page visited by kids.
Wiggleroom Indeed, wish I could opt out (or rather, have to opt in). It can put me off browsing the store sometimes, content not suitable for all places or situations.
khaelenmore Please make adult content explicitly opt-in, as it should not be seen at all by users who do not wish it
Dunjineer I can't stress this enough, if everytime I browse gog for games I don't want to have porno thumbnails pop at me
