GOG: 1 million claimed the Freedom to Buy Games bundle in 24 hours

I love this from GOG. I already liked them because of their game conservation efforts, but now I like them even more.

They support free games. If only they supported free platforms to play them on...
- What does this mean?
- GOG is a distributor and storefront. They aren't a developer, so it's not up to them to develop Linux versions of the games they sell.

I couldn't pass their capcha so I guess I'm a robot.

Self-awareness is the first step to sentience.
I also got like 10 capchas for 1 of the codes (just one after the other) then it threw an error anyway. I appreciate their gesture, but so far it's been like 30 minutes of wasted time with nothing to show for it.
- Some countries banned Postal 2 so they can't give it to you if you live in, as a random example, Germany.
  Congratulations on already living in the future they're protesting. Realistically they probably should have recognized this would be a problem and told you the specific error but their giveaway codes aren't really meant for this so whatever.
  If you do live in a country like that you could, however, spend $70 on a year of Mullvad and be a Canadian as far as GOG knows or cares.
  Maybe you should be doing that anyways, regardless of whether you want horny games and also Postal 2.
Same, tried three different browsers. I HOPE YOU'RE ALRIGHT, FELLOW "HUMAN".
I cant get by their 2fa. It sends the code like 4 hours later which by then the code times out.
VPN to the UK.

And maybe ten of them will actually play any of the games.

Oh yeah I saw the list and am pretty sure I'm not even installing any of them, but claiming the bundle in solidarity
- Did the same. Not sure, just by looking at the icon/thumbnail, that any of it was made for me. But am still proud to have them added to my account!
- Y-yea... For solidarity
I'm one. I played one of the ones I didn't already have yesterday.
- How did it go?
Ya, looking over the list I couldn't be bothered to obtain a copy of "Helping The Hotties".
- Really? You'd leave the hotties unhelped?
I didn't see the option, but also Huney Pop and others don't work on Linux.
- Works fine on my Steam Deck.
- Can confirm it works fine with wine / proton
- The linux version of Hunie Pop didn't launch for me on Fedora 42, but the Windows version did with Heroic using GE-Proton-Latest
- Lutris?

i.e you are all a bunch of wankers

Hey, it included Postal 2 as well! (But also guilty, and not ashamed to admit it.)
- I wouldn't want to meet a person who wanks to Postal 2, though playing is fine.
We are... Also, free stuff.

I clicked on the bundle because I was curious to see it and now I have a bunch of porn games I guess. I don't have an issue with porn games but I don't play porn games so now I have a bunch of trash cluttering my library.

I was able to kinda hide them but they are still there.

Huniepop is genuinely one of the better match 4 type games out there and has a bathing suit only mode if you are feeling adventurous.
- None of them are even remotely close to the sort of games I enjoy, the porn part isn't the issue I just don't care for "dating" sims or puzzle games.
You entered code without knowing what's inside?

You’re doing gods work, GOG. No wait, scratch that.

Slaanesh is proud

I want to buy more from GOG but my only gaming system I have is a Steam Deck. I know the native Linux stuff should work ok but u always have problems getting windows stuff to work. Either through Heroic Launcher or Proton. I must be doing something wrong. All the guides I find are just wrong or out of date.

Hei give this a try, it helped me a lot for a gog game at least (Tunic). https://github.com/moraroy/NonSteamLaunchers-On-Steam-Deck
- I'll give that a try, thanks
Make heroic add to Steam lib by default
If that dont work then idk
I want to buy more but I can't seem to find any games I actually wanna play or don't already own on Steam. This campaign did remind me that they exist and that I should try to support them more, so I think it was a net positive for me!

Would've been Pay2Fap, but it's free! (ง ื▿ ื)ว

I literally cannot find a page with actual links to the games? Im not cross-referencing a damn porn bundle.

I believe the giveaway was only for 48 hours so it might be over
- :(

Hey, free games is free games.

If only GOG was this militant when it involved Taiwanese developers (Red Candle Game devs), I would still be using their platform. They haven't even allowed Nine Sols on it, so I haven't bothered going back yet or have even recommended them to the degree I usually did over Steam.

It's not even that they had to censor themselves, it's their woeful attempt at an excuse. It's funny whom they kneel before and whom the are activists against. Were it a China "Many Gamers" matter, do not expect them to have been as willing...

Do you have a link to someone talking about the Taiwan situation?

  It has a lot to do with how it would have affected Cyberpunk 2077's release in China and it's huge gaming market. I mean, just look at the downvote count in my previous comment, there are a lot of butthurt factory trolls downvoting it from the red stained Lemmy "Marxist Leninist" foundries. China cannot accept any political commentary, specially coming from Taiwan, and the devs got punished for it. The devs capitulated, but China did not care, so why bother?
