GOG’s Freedom To Buy Campaign Gives Away Controversial Games For Free To Protest Censorship
GOG’s Freedom To Buy Campaign Gives Away Controversial Games For Free To Protest Censorship
For the record, the only reason I redeemed the bundle was to protest censorship! Really, I will not have any kind of fun or pleasure!
The bundle is mid at best. You don't even have to try and convince anyone.
I have to say since this whole anti porn in games thing has happened, I've ironically exposed myself to more porn games.
Before I wouldn't imagine playing porn games. Ever since the itch unban, I've tried a few games on itch.io to see what the fuss was about and got absolutely hooked on Queens Brothel - to the point where I've paid for the full version on Patreon. And now I've got these games on my gog library.
If the Christian brothers and sisters at Collective Shout wanted less people exposed to porn games, lol. lmao even.
That is how their efforts usually work out.
They are quite adept at shitting and falling back in it.
I suggest to try "monster girl quest"
Damn, GOG is based af
Keep in mind it's the same company that tweeted a dog whistle to Gamer gate and had a few insensitive transphobic faux pas: https://www.polygon.com/2018/10/23/18015434/gog-twitter-wontbeerased-hashtag/.
I could believe the latter ones were potentially accidental but I don't know how tweeting the exact starting date of Gamer gate with the phrase "R.I.P games journalism" can be anything but intentional.
Bless you, GOG. If you werent so expensive in my country, Id completly port my Steam lib in a heartbeat.
Ima grab the titles at least :)
At first I thought you said "Grab the titties" and I chuckled, then I realized that I was the only one with my mind in the gutter.
Not the only one, in this thread
They don’t do regional pricing?
They do in my country, though not always
no, that's why I rarely buy anything from them.
FYI, clicking the "Claim now!" button under a game will still claim the whole bundle
i now own a bunch of porn games cuz i wanted to try Postal 2 -_-
edit: it is thankfully possible to hide games from your library, tho unfortunately heroic games launcher does not care 😖
Heroic also has an option to hide games.
yea i just found out, but thank you still!
i wish it synced with GOG but, oh well that’ll do

Uhh, yeah me too. And they used my credit card to sign up for porn. Smh, GOG
Same LOL, I just wanted to snag Postal 2 DRM-free. Oh well
Word of warning, clicking "Claim" on any of these games claims them all. I clicked claim on Postal 2 and got a warning message that I never thought to read, but now I have "Lust Theory" and other timeless classics in my GoG library.
Just wanted to put this out there.

man i don't even care. I claimed them all, i'm almost definitely never going to play any of these games, but i think its pretty cool what gog is doing here.
My profile is private anyway so it doesn't matter lol
The exact list of games is as follows:
I legit thought this was a joke at first. They really said here have all these porn games. Not that I ever paid for them anyways, or played them even ....
fuck... I missed the giveaway. 🙁
It's still up, you have to go to a different website. As of writing this you still have 12 hours
https://items.gog.com/freedomtobuy/index.html
People have said depending on where you live you might need a VPN to access it and I was getting errors when trying to claim it so I found a reddit thread with a "fix"
Have the site open and be logged in then click this: https://www.gog.com/cart/add/1486951595
Then go back to your cart and refresh if you need to.
This is disgusting. Can someone please tell me what game this is.....so I can avoid it?
You can claim them here
Now download them before they have GOG do age verification. The EU overwhelmingly voted to implement it on platforms that offer content not suitable for children.

I am the gayest gay who ever was a gay. And I apparently own these things now. In solidarity with the goons! Freedom!
Nice 😆 thx
I am the gayest gay who ever was a gay.
I feel like this is going to be a trivia question.
"Who was the gayest gay who ever was a gay?"
"JohnVanDenver?"
"No, I'm sorry, the answer is JimVanDeventer."
Someone called out the name “Archie” and I turned around to see who wanted my attention. Call me whatever you want; it apparently doesn’t matter.
Anyone else having issues redeeming it? Hope I can nab them before the deadline.
Nevermind, I got it when I disabled my PiHole. 🤷

Quite ironic, given the subject
I couldn't redeem on my phone until I opened Firefox instead of embedded chrome and log into GoG before I could get past the damned Cloudflare hell
I hate Cloudflare so much. It's getting to the point that some apps I use in browser will just stop working, and when I reload the tab to reset it, turns out Cloudflare was blocking the traffic until I do their stupidass human test.
....brrrr, goes the external hdd...
Of the list, I would say Lust Theory is worth a look.
You are groundhogs daying through high school/college trying to bang every single woman in your life. Animations are... sufficient and I do kind of like that any of the more fucked up stuff is almost always followed up with "and then you were kicked so hard in the balls you died" although it would be nice if they weren't critical path for progression. And it is pretty hilarious that the game lets you define your relationship to the various ladies you live with... but it is still pretty clearly coded for incest of some form which leads to hilarity like "It is so morally wrong that you are having sex with your Live In Janitor"... which I guess would actually be really morally wrong...
But yeah. Mostly the bundle is the bottom of the barrel. Or stuff that has been around so long it is mostly just a meme for how bad porn games are (house party).
I haven't played a porn game since I was a teen in highschool. 20-odd years ago. Now I own a whole mess of the things.
Most of them still trash
Except for that one scene 💦
Good trash or bad trash?
Gog moment
thanks for the Free Postal 2 GOG
I tried it for an hour before I gave up. The cringe was too hard for me to get past.
agreed but for me i kinda didnt like the racism things,i am not easily offended, i gave up on the game after the religious joke.
atleast i "Tried" Postal 2 and didnt buy it
Based GOG
Is Sapphire Safari... a furry porn version of pokemon snap??? I'm going to try it for shits and giggles because I adore pokemon snap. Wish me luck.
Please report back your findings trooper 🫡
Just getting around to trying it now. Will update with further info.
Very first impressions:
Yep, its sexo pokemon snap! If you're into furry or pokephilia, and enjoy photography, this'll probably be a fun time. It seems like it is more anthro focused though, not that I'd be a good judge of any of this or anything. >_>;
Right off the bat, the walking animation is very janky, but otherwise it seems surprisingly polished. The tutorial is a bit info dumpy, but it's not that overwhelming.
Just starting actual gameplay now.
Edit 1: Managed to soft lock myself on the very first quest. Got stuck in a tent flap. Lol. Fixed with a reload.
Edit 2: Now I can't find this expedition log for the 2nd part of the first quest. This does not bode well. I swear I should work in QA, as I can't find anyone who's had this problem.
I'm giving up for tonight. It kinda feels like nobody play tested this.
Great catch! Thanks for sharing! As if I needed any more reason to respect GOG more than I already do. GOG always have been the OG GigaChads of online game merchants.
That's pretty fucking cool.
Nice, a reason for me to log into gog
Quick add: https://www.gog.com/cart/add/1486951595
That worked. But using the https://freedomtobuy.games/ links kept giving me "something went wrong". So ^ this link is the way to do it.
I got all the games. Thank you!
Plot twist - what Collective Shout wanted all along was to get these specific games for free (and more importantly - without official transactions to prove they've bought them)
if I could even download gog galaxy. there's no download link on their webpage and neither anything on the web. But pretty cool of them
The great thing about GOG is you don’t need the launcher, you can use a third party launcher like Heroic or just download the installers directly from the GOG website once you log in.
I think it’s de-emphasized because part of the GOG appeal is that you don’t need a launcher and can grab direct DRM free installers. The launcher just exists for convenience.
I can’t even log in, because their 2FA system is overwhelmed. I’ve been waiting almost four hours for an email code to hit my inbox.
They no longer require authy for time based codes, so I would update to use an authenticator app when you next get in.
The link is in the webpage, but it might be bugged? It's not visible in vanilla chrome or firefox for me (or maybe just not visible on linux).
https://webinstallers.gog-statics.com/download/GOG_Galaxy_2.0.exe
That's from the page's source.
Whether you fellows like the games or not is not the point, the point is to get the games on principle alobe (ie; Oppose censorship)
Strange. I redeemed the code, it shows in my purchase history, but none of the games show up in my collection. Oh well.
It says on the post-redeem page that it can take a while to show up
And after a night's sleep, there they are!
Fuck Google and its fcking recaptcha with its fcking traffic lights, fcking crosswalks, fcking hydrants, fcking bicycles and fcking CARS! FCK!
This is the rare case where at no point was a clear coherent statement ever made, and yet everybody knew exactly what your frustrated ranting mumbles meant.
I'm for this because I want those games. But let's talk strategy. Didn't GoG just set the market value of those games to zero? Weren't they already hurt by the censorship? Wouldn't it be better to just give them a fair market to sell on?
They probably cant do this unilaterally. Maybe gog paid for those copies and they are limited in quantity.
I was really surprised when I saw this
Neither Neigsendoig nor I will be grabbing any of them. That's just our prerogative (though, to be clear, we aren't for this censorous garbage).

Okay?
