The backlash continues after a large swath of sexually explicit games were removed from Steam and Itch–along with games that feature LGBTQ content and themes.

Neat, I have no shame in admitting I picked it up, I’ve never played any of these - but if someone tells me I can’t try something (or tries to block access because of prudish reasons) I want to immediately see what the fuss is about.
So, anyone recommend one of these to start with? How would you recommend I try to run these on Linux? (It’s also my first experience with GoG, but seems neat!)
I heard being a dik and treasure of Nadia are good, but havent played them myself. House party is actually fun. The rest i am not sure. Yes, I am a degenerate
Hunie Pop is a fantastic game.
375+ hours played. less than 1% of that time jerking off.
from what i have seen, many of the games are done in renpy. usually these ship something like run.py - should be easy enough, if you have python installed.
Best way to run them on Linux I think would be heroic launcher
Go with Heroic Games launcher. It works pretty simply without fuss for gog games in my experience.
Thanks!
I remember watching a House Party play through with the Game Grumps dudes Dan Avidan and Arin Hanson. They played through until they found themselves in the game. So that may be the only one I actually play. Postal 2 also might be worth playing by the looks of it
“Found themselves”? Wdym by that?
They crash the titular house party. They in it.
Presumably a reference to their channel?
postal is good if you’re into the humor style. definitely a problematic fav
Collective Shite can fuck right off with their veiled attempt at mass internet censorship.
Needs a VPN in order to redeem the code if you are in Germany.
Can’t they just do a game give away, like a general one? Im not into NSFW games, but if you make it clear thats what the give away is about it will still get the same message across. We support NSFW games being available (at least I do). I just dont want to play them.
Edit: Okay, ya’ll can stop replying now. I get it, you dont like my opinion.
Working retail and food service taught me even if you literally give something away for free, people will still find a reason to complain. “Free hamburgers today” But I don’t like hamburgers. “Today only, get a free 6 months to Spotify if you sign up for something else” But I don’t use Spotify.
Just, okay? Like fine it’s not for you, it doesn’t matter, it’s free.
They do general giveaways all the time, this one is specific to a cause and is therefore flavored as such. There’s a discord bot I use to track giveaways from GOG, Epic, and Steam, there is always a giveaway happening at pretty much any given moment from at least one of them. You could look into that or similar if you just want free games.
I think part of this is, if later there are takedowns of these games, many people will experience them being removed from their ownership.
in most cases delisting would prevent games from being purchased, not from being downloaded if you already have them.
on GoG you could download the installer and install without the need of GoG. No takedown possible, thats the point of GoG.
I mean yeah if you do that, but since it’s free and most people redeeming this giveaway aren’t actually interested in playing all of the games, they won’t have them downloaded.
That completely misses the point of this giveaway. Even ignoring that, these games are being donated by the devs. I’m not sure why a studio not affected by this at all would donate their game fighting this (I know a few might on principal but still)
they’ve given away so many games, where were you
That’s a good idea. Let’s give obese people sandwiches to raise awareness for starving kids, too.
I’m in the same boat as you. Except for house party. I will be playing house party.
