CENSORSHIP
IS QUIETLY DECIDING

GOG is fighting back.
I did not give a shit about NSFW games but I fucking hate cebsorship.
Go GoG, I’m going to buy one from them now!

Don’t forget your protest lotion!
atticus88th@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Hoooly shit I thought it was just one game. But hot damn they just gave all those games away for free. Just claim it once. I even thought it might be a scam cause of the url but its legit!
brian@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
The URL is direct to gog tho? Unless you mean you didn’t recognize gog as a reputable website
shrodes@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
In fairness there is also this link which is doing the rounds too https://freedomtobuy.games/
HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If I can buy a game on Gog I do - their lack of DRM, Linux ports, and prices just make me happy.
stinerman@midwest.social 3 weeks ago
I’m not really interested in these games but this is pretty freaking awesome.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
Postal 2 is actually a really good shitpost of a game. It looks like shit, it is unironically edgy and full of 14 year old levels of sexist, toilet humor. But god damn is it actually a good game. Like, a truly solid immersive sim shooter. And one of the only FPS games I know of that has guns and killing where you don’t have to actually get involved and can beat the whole game as a casual observer of the chaos.
stinerman@midwest.social 3 weeks ago
Actually I already own that one but I wanted my post to be brief.

Nice gesture, but keep in mind that this is the same GOG that was poised to release Devotion by RedCandleGames, only to renege on it because CCP imbeciles told them to. They are brave against censorship except when it involves actual conflict with censors. As soon as that happens, it’s bootlick city.
p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
And doing this with just 13 games? F95 catalogues 13 games… a day. I feel like GOG needs to up their game here.
Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah but… A lot of games on F95Zone aren’t on any storefront. Can’t blame a storefront for only giving those things the storefront can.
Oh… Uh… A lot of what’s on F95Zone is also either trash, abandoned, or abandoned trash.
wavebeam@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
don’t sleep on Hunie Pop, it’s actually pretty fun.
Valorie12@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Hunie Pop is a great game, despite being a Bejeweled clone. The mechanics make the “puzzles” a lot more fun (not just the tiddies)
Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Isn’t it basically just bejewelled but with boobs?
wavebeam@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
At the risk of sounding like I’m making excuses for wanting to see the tiddies, the storylines of the different characters is fun to navigate. But yes.
Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Nice, but too many tiddies and not enough dicks.
TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
🎶too many tiddies🎶

Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Treasure of Nadia is legit a good game
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
Hunie Pop has a surprising amount of strategy involved.
okmko@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
HuniePop is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Out spawned so many clones because it was legitimately well made.
lime@feddit.nu 3 weeks ago
i mean yeah… sure.
they could have decided to throw some lgbtq stuff in there, to shine a light on every queer person who just got thrown off of itch. but no, no risk of gog going woke.
Sciaphobia@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Taking a stand against GoG for not offering the right free stuff is definitely… a decision.
timuchan@lemmy.wtf 3 weeks ago
iirc, GOG has a bit of history with respect to this issue.
BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 3 weeks ago
They give us free stuff but it’s not the free stuff I like !!!1!!1!1!!1
lime@feddit.nu 3 weeks ago
that wasn’t really the point
Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
I don’t know if it’s a slight against them. There’s a whole shit load of stuff not included. Just because something wasn’t doesn’t mean it was a choice. It would have been nice, but we can’t really know why there’s none here.
Prime@lemmy.sdf.org 2 weeks ago
Almost nobody did anything in response to the recent censorship, especially not if it could hurt them politically or financially. But GOG did something. Stop complaining, you should congratulate and support them on taking the risk for a good fight. I wish it wasn’t, but they currently are a one of very few rays of light.
lime@feddit.nu 2 weeks ago
because it’s only been like three days. itch is actively hunting for a new payment provider, there’s a huge phone campaign ongoing, and collective shout is being slammed in the media. so people are doing something.
Jumi@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If it doesn’t work from Germany use a VPN
Prime@lemmy.sdf.org 2 weeks ago
They have a list of countries where games are not legal and cannot be bought/redeemed. Two stand out with almost all games: One is China. The second is Germany. I hate this shitty conservative self-righteous government and its prude regulations.
McWizard@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Thank you, that worked!

I can’t get past the captcha. Trowel like 10 times
BenLeMan@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah what’s up with those lately? I’ve noticed them taking longer and longer to solve as well as being more difficult.
Uranhjort@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s ReCaptcha owned by Google, if you’re using a non-Chrome browser or an ad blocker it punishes you with tedium. Probably illegal to sabotage your competition but when did that ever stop them.
UnrepentantAlgebra@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Supposedly they are more likely to give you captchas if there is high traffic, like every week when people try to claim their prime free games at the same time. If I get a captcha I just close out and try again later because you never know how many you are going to get.
Gloomy@mander.xyz 3 weeks ago
Could it be AI getting better at solving them, so they need to be more complex? No idea how this works, so just a thought.
drmoose@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Legit took me 20 minutes to just get this;
- click redeem -> 5 captchas
- click login, reset password -> 5 captchas
- click reset password link -> 5 captchas
- login -> 5 captchas
- click redeem -> 5 captchas
Lmao and people say AI could ruin the web more
SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
Their servers are just completely overloaded
el_hache@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Maybe you’re in a country where one of more games are restricted, this solved it for me
Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
I don’t even get a captcha, just a straight up error, when I try to redeem the code (with adblock disabled).
el_hache@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
This did the trick for me if you’re still facing the issue:
Whitebrow@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Cancel and try to redeem again, I sometimes end up in the dumb loop for no reason as well.
TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
For anyone having issues with the site, the giveaway code is
freedomtobuygameswhich you might have better luck redeeming via Galaxy.Prime@lemmy.sdf.org 2 weeks ago
Is there a way to redeem in Galaxy? I did not see it
Prime@lemmy.sdf.org 2 weeks ago
Found it. It’s in the cog menu, very top left
tal@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
That’s nice, but I’m not going to do so, because I’d rather support the developers of pornographic games financially.
It also sounds like at least some of the stores are aiming to make the games available later with different payment processors, so I expect that they’re likely to come back.
brian@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
I don’t know the logistics behind some of these giveaways, but it doesn’t have to mean that the devs are giving up their revenue. It could be gog just fronting the “cost”, no?
tal@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
Could be. They don’t say so on the page, though.
Hugin@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Most are older games with sequels or newer games by the developer. So they are probably hoping you like them and buy the sequel.
Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yes, they’re called Good Old Games, after all.
thisisdee@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Strange. I’m getting invalid code error

suddenly buying all this weird interactive porn that I didn’t realize i wanted
Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Awesome but I’m not really into those games. I might try one or two just to support the cause.
hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Hunie pop is a legit good game. Its a fun puzzler and a toungue in cheek take on the genre.
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Postal 2 is on the list if nothing else. Also I remember back when I was like 5 seeing it on an old TV video game focused channel where they went over it and then Hulk ultimate destruction.
devilish666@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Adalast@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Thank you kind stranger. I vehemently oppose censorship, especially by uninvolved 3rd parties, so this is precicely what I needed with all of this. Good list of games too.
Etterra@discuss.online 3 weeks ago
Finally something good about GOG.
BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 3 weeks ago

Prime@lemmy.sdf.org 2 weeks ago
You’ll have to explain that. In my mind they have been a rather positive force all the time.

“Some games vanish. Not because they broke the law but because someone decided they shouldn’t exist.”
Fuckin’ ay, man. Fuckin’ ay.
I love being able to help protest by playing… (checks notes) Helping the Hotties… 😉
