An 18+ section or category.
Added by
Duffadash For the unusually violent or *shudder* sexy games. This would mean it wouldn't be a problem whether or not to get games like Leisure Suit Larry, Luna: The Sexy Empire, Bible Black or even GTA.
jjj0309 I want Hatred and other 18+ games happen on GoG. Even pornography ones if laws allow it.
LittleCritter While i 100% support that as an adult you should be able to acquire media that deals with themse of either violent or of sexual nature, i sincerely doubt that this is feasable. At least in the near future. Too many different laws regarding "adult content" in too many different regions. Also forget being able to use paypal as a payment option.
V4V Another German supporting this. I'm of age and I want to buy all games that I am permitted to buy under German laws.
Lifthrasil As a German I support this wish. Then you could finally sell some of the games again that you stopped selling when you introduced the German storefront.
Tikiti Just because I play video games doesn't mean I'm a kid. Uncensored games, +18 games, ecchi games, hentai games, bring them all in. Just make sure to make they are unavailable by default. Like LIAMPHOENIX said, it could be completely different domain/website that's integrated with the GOG backend.
Gekko_Dekko PLEASE. It will be MUCH better, than censorship
Sumyjkl If this was done in a way that was opt-in and not obviously accessible, I'd support it. I doubt many old 18+ games exist, but there's no good reason to avoid adding them, I suppose.
ZMacZ Hmm..yes..but I'm talking for the games that are like not pron...just the ones that are like too hefty for young ones..then again, I can recall a sorta raunchy game "Knights of Xentar", which ofc was funny..as long as it's not actual pron..
Falloutmyass This request is actually way more important than just for erotic games: I live in germany and there are still many "enlisted" games. They aren't banned or forbidden, they just can't be exposed to the general public. So you need a secluded area to be allowed putting them on a shelf and THAT'S what EVERY major online gaming plattform is missing, including services like Twitch. Having an viable option to turn your account into a 18+ account would make the worries of banned or forbidden games obsolet, since you are mature and able to take responsability for your actions.
Racose Double posts are fun, specially because we can't edit our posts. I stand by my post, but plz disregard the second sentence. Jokes don't work when you don't add the punch line.
Racose Voted, their are a few adult games I wouldn't mind buying. But as an adult, I know my kid is to young for such things. So if such a feature is given, I'd hope/demand it came with parental locks.
erictheturtle I was disappointed to learn that Steam (Valve) and IndieGala started selling adult "mature" content. Then I was repulsed when I found no way to filter them. Seeing an ad for an adult game next to my cart containing Super 3D Noah's Ark was disgusting. Either those companies are irresponsible and incompetent, or they are maliciously trying to pander this content to those who find it offensive. <br /> <br /> IndieGala no longer receives any of my money, even when they have the best deals. I only purchase from Steam when absolutely necessary since it's virtually impossible to avoid its DRM. <br /> <br /> I would unequivocally be opposed to GoG adding explicit adult content to their store library. But in the regretful case that they do, I would hope they do not repeat the incompetence shown by those other companies. A filtering option is absolutely mandatory. <br /> <br /> GoG has established itself as a company that gives user's true control over the games they want. Please continue that pattern by also giving users control over games they do not want.
Magmarock I would have a problem with this. I'm not a proud but I just don't think this would be an appropriate place for porn. Porn is kind of it's own thing and I think it's better suited to it own place. R18 games with sex in them is one thing but dedicated porn games should have dedicated porn sites.
LeeC2202 One problem that having this section might cause, (and I suspect it's why many gaming distribution systems don't have them) is that they might possibly lose PayPal as a payment option as a result. I know PayPal can be really picky about what they class as *adult* content. I'm not saying that as a fact of course, because in all honesty, I don't truly know. I just know that PayPal do have rules about what they will allow payments for. You can't pay for an adult site subscription for instance... although you can pay for items from a sex shop. I think it's possibly when media falls into the potential category of pornography that there is an issue. Personally, I would like to see an 18+ section and I'd like to see it as prominent as any other section... and that should be an option in your profile. I'd like the option to put anything with guns in it in a corner where I can't see it, especially if it's a hunting game. I find those far more offensive than any *adult* oriented games.
lothar69 I'm fine with a section or not. I'd rather they spend time getting more games that fill this category. But please allow one to control what games are visible (on your shelf) on any social/friend features implemented now or in the future. It bugs me to no end that steam broadcasts to the world (and possibly family members on your friends list) when you're playing such games).
Mordeth_Kai Aye, I'm all for parental controls, but I'm against all adults being treated like children.
Wizzsama Do want. I always wanted a proper place to buy adult games to support developers. And GOG is better than Steam because there is a lot of good old games lake Dragon Knight, 3 Sister Story and so on. And yes, I am agree that porn advertisement must be banned from first page, and showing up only if selected in the profile.
liamphoenix There are actually several hentai games I'd love to pick up if I knew somewhere I could trust that sold them, but I definitely do not want to see them on the main page of GOG, that's not the kind of image we need here. <br /> <br /> A second site, run by the same folks, that integrated with the GOG purchasing system so my "sexy games" were in the nice manageable library here would be be fine with me though.
jmentat I don't think it should be its own category, but I think game tags should be more searchable. Categories hide similarities between games. The tagging is already happening to some extent. Some games do have a "Rating" section. This is mostly a concern of dealing with each nation/territory/states statutory requirements, not so much with adding or curating content. How do you rate content? ESRB, PEGI, CERO, USK, ACB, OFLCNZ ...? I see ESRB so it might be localized, but still far too confusing for an "18+ section". Some advanced filtering on these tags would be nice though. You should be able to drill down on any game tag.
ComatosePhoenix Well, seeing as gog apparently is okay with distributing this stuff, I am all for putting it on its own shelf. in the corner, where I know exactly were it is if I want it, but won't bump into it when just browsing.
cendare Games like Luna: The Sexy Empire and HuniePop do not belong on the front page, IMHO. There is no way for me to prevent them showing up. I would prefer a separate section for such games.
ComatosePhoenix As much as I agree with the arguments about censorship. I do not want to see GOG polluted with inappropriate content and the attitude that comes with it. The only way I can feel comfortable with this is if GOG was to create a seperate website to keep the adult content as Isolated as possible from the main page. When I refer to adult content I don't mean the james bond sex scenes or nudity most games use. I mean the full on porn. Most people who want this content want a safe and reliable distributor. GOG as an organization can do this, but I don't want it on the main page.
sydisticpixi GOG is the place to replay and relive memorable games. For me there are many "adult" games that hold as much nostalgia value as any others. X-Change, Nocturnal Illusions, True Love. These are just some of the -AO- games that bring a smile to my face when I think about them. Many such games were well written and highly immersive. They were great games! <br /> <br /> So while I don't know how GOG would implement this, I sincerely wish they would. There are a few other websites where these games can be downloaded. However the prices are unrealistically high and the sites themselves less trustworthy than GOG.

awmperry There are games that feature graphic consensual sex and no violence, coercion, or discrimination - but somehow they tend to be seen as more harmful than the raft of games featuring copious graphic violence. <br /> <br /> Sex and nudity are normal parts of most people's lives. For most of us in the main gaming markets, brutal violence and war isn't. So why should we be more restrictive of sex and nudity than of violence?
DanyKing It'd be perfect for the release of Witcher 3 :)
ChloeWolfieGirl I think this is a good idea because I'm sure that theres a market for 'sexy' games but I don't beleive that theres a credable place for these games, so I think that that would get some consumers! <br /> <br /> They'd need to have an opt-in opt-out option of cause, and as long as you don't move focus from Games in general and mainly the older ones, to Games with sexualness in them, then I'm fine! <br /> <br /> One game that I think you guys who are worried about this, should check out would be Katawa Shoujo, its a great little game where you have the option to turn off the Adult stuff, and its quite heart wrenching, I've always found it sad, that just because theres a bit of Adult Content it meant that it couldn't be in official stores such as GOG, Steam, PSN, etc..

DrTomo There isn't many games because vast majority of the current DD's have moral or religious (however way you see it) reasons of not allowing such content. If GoG allows this then that is another feature that they can 1up all the current DD's. Also this site requires either a credit card or other payment processor so it is easy to have a age gate since I don't know many places that allow younger kids to have these financial instruments.
igrok I think the problem is there are hardly any good 18+ games, and the ones which are good, are usually not 18+ anyway (like the Larry series).
LordBasaThunder I see these requests pop up occasionally; wish they would just combine them. I posted previously on the Uncensored Games request, but thought I would re-post my comment here. <br /> <br /> "Uncensored games: Believing that most creative works are art (games included,) I believe that they should be released they way the artist intended. Though it comes with a caveat of still adhering to local laws. <br /> <br /> Adult games: As the market supports the creation and proliferation of such I see no problem with them. If this was something <a href="http://GOG.com" class="light_un" target="_blank">GOG.com</a> was thinking of I would imagine they would create a sister site (GOGBlack.com, etc...) with a stricter age gate. That way consumers could keep one account but still be able to opt into any "Adult" content if they wished to do so. " <br /> <br /> Key points I would like to make are: <br /> <br /> 1. Adult games are a successful business model and fill a niche in the market. <br /> <br /> 2. It should ALWAYS be an opt in. If people don't want to see it on the home page etc. they shouldn't have to. <br /> <br /> 3. The community will determine if it is the right "thing" business wise for GOG.com. If it is embraced, that division will be profitable. If not, <a href="http://GOG.com" class="light_un" target="_blank">GOG.com</a> can do away with it.
lemming07 Yes we need 17+, it is always a privilege for having such luxuries that one cannot easily find elsewhere.
GlassAgate There are already some games that are AO...not really <br /> porn games...just that they were too much for the M 17+. <br /> <br />
analfever Developers shouldn't have to make a tradeoff between their vision and the ability to distribute their games. A store's purpose is to sell stuff not keep your children or your soul safe. If you don't like it don't play it.
Rafeweisz You have porn webs already, so stop trying to add porn to every web out there. Would you like it if millions of parents were in the porn webs you visit demanding them to be child friendly? <br /> We do not appreciate it when you try to turn every web into a porn site.
ELFswe You want GOG to release that Japanese game (wont mention it's name) were you do naughty things to a family that you stalk....
zerothis Porn is porn. It is available every on the net. No need to add any at GOG. <br /> <br /> And _intellegent_ developers can make games about sex that are not 18+. <a href="http://www.uvlist.net/game-159183-Lapis" class="light_un" target="_blank">http://www.uvlist.net/game-159183-Lapis</a>
Overlord_58 Now this is a good idea, I would love to see some good VN's over here. I was glad when steam started to get some but then was disappointed that they didn't allow ones with adult content on there. Which seem stupid to me because there are some really good games with good stories out there that has sex in them like Nocturnal Illusion, Diva Dead, YU-No and so on.
mothwentbad Then controversy-to-profit ratio would be absurdly high. Also, what passes for gratuitous and/or offensive varies from place to place, and different places disagree on whether gore, sex, violence, or sexualized violence are the worst offenders. Some Japanese games were pulled from Amazon over this kind of thing. <br /> <br /> Personally, I'd love to have a trove of high-quality games with sexual content but no gore or lolis. I would at least want to be able to filter it out from appearing on my version of the site at all. But I don't even know if enough quality content even exists for this to ever make any business sense at all, even in a hypothetical world where it's not a global scandal for even trying.
Keshkirshkinra I think this is a decent idea. A bit rough in the ability to push out, and would require some sort of check for age, but I like it. The main idea is that we are not looking for censorship, and providing games that are adult only, either in content or themes, or whatnot would fit with the idea of digital freedom. <br /> <br /> For those that said no other distributor releases AO games, well no other distributor went as far with DRM free before, and gog is one of the most successful platforms. <br /> <br /> All this being said, I think it would be good to have a Chinese wall between the site that is normal gog, and a gog that provides AO material. Say <a href="http://gog.com" class="light_un" target="_blank">gog.com</a> as it is, and a gogad, after dark. same login for both sites, same account, same game library, just the gogad would have the 18+ material, and would require a seperate url to check, this way those under 18 can not even see that there are games they can not get. (unless they put in that slight extra effort.)
DrTomo The problem is that no other distributor sells games that are 18+ which is Adult labeled games. Also don't reference Germany as that place is a dump when it comes to games distribution like Australia where they banned games like Saints Row. If people wants this medium to be taken seriously and not as games for kids having a distributor sell adult games is a step forward in that direction.
F4LL0UT What's the problem? GOG already has some of the most violent and mature games, some of them are banned in Germany and still available there for purchase from GOG without any age check of any kind.
vangel_sg we will always have the ao games ref <a href="http://www.aorated.com" class="light_un" target="_blank">http://www.aorated.com</a> or slightly above mature rating in terms of violence, suggestive and sexual themes at least. Postal is a fine example.
FlamingFirewire While at first I thought this was a stupid idea, perhaps if this led to some quality Visual Novel's like Steins;gate coming over in some fashion that would be great. While Steins;Gate is NOT an eroge, for some reason, people view all VN's as such limiting their ability to be recognized on services like Steam. Seeing some semblance of this system may also allow for some more games of this type.
jorlin I wouldn't mind to see some quality ecchi/ hentai titles like Bible Black or Nocturnal Illusion. Admitted there only few of titles which I consider good enough for GOG. They are quite twisted (especially Bible Black) and you would definitely need an adult section for those...
VanishedOne It seems some sort of 18+ category already exists. <a href="http://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_starting_to_agerestrict_game_purchases_now/page1" class="light_un" target="_blank">http://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_starting_to_agerestrict_game_purchases_now/page1</a>
ReyVagabond A tag for more, adult or sexual games, or over violent games?, i think its a good idea to tag them, so when i want to buy one of those games its easier to find them. Now as 30+ gamer that loves GoG and what it stands for, i would not mind if they sell porn games or a Game where you kill your family and what not. Personlay i dont know whats the big problem with porn or over sexual themes in game. I think Crime and Violence are much worse that maybe a sex sceen with two characteres that are inlove, or a larry style game. So: 1- we all consume it, if you dont then your are wirder than the dude that likes to spank to midget porn. 2- Gaming industries is not a pimp hitting his ladies if they dosent deliver. it should not be considered Tainted with the Blood of Women that are mistreated. 3- A good game is a good game, if a game is good it dosent matter if its Mario or Larry, if its fun and egaging its all good. Now if you care about legal ramifications, thats why "the if you are your country legal age limit, put an X here".its. for what else you, need. When i was a kid, i stole Porn form With mi friends it was a hoot, kinds now just need to lie and be left alone with a computer and internet. So dont leave your kid alone with a computer with internet. But thats just me, a 30+ years old games with wife and kids, that Likes to play good games, and if a good game its a Porn kill your family game, i would like that GoG could sell it. so i could play it DMR free.
DRM_free_fan Agree as age rating warning symbol. But not as purchase restriction with age verification.
