Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

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?

[–] zeca@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago

They probably cant do this unilaterally. Maybe gog paid for those copies and they are limited in quantity.

I was really surprised of this

[–] RYS@lemmy.zip 193 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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!

[–] CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world 70 points 1 week ago (4 children)

The bundle is mid at best. You don't even have to try and convince anyone.

[–] RYS@lemmy.zip 37 points 1 week ago

Yeah, my hopes weren't to high, but I'll give it a try this weekend... just to support the cause, you know.

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 the 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.

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.

[–] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Maybe they've gotten better since then. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah; that's totally fair.

[–] GriffinClaw@lemmy.zip 87 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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 :)

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

Not the only one, in this thread

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 😖

[–] nfreak@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

Same LOL, I just wanted to snag Postal 2 DRM-free. Oh well

[–] ToaofTime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Heroic also has an option to hide games.
