This whole saga might just inadvertently make porno games explode (heh) in popularity. I've never played one myself, but if GOG is giving some away for free, I'm going to download a few and see what the hype is about.

That's a good timing. I'm looking at my calendar and I am due for my workout session anyway...

You got a calendar for that? I only got a watch to keep track of my sessions

Just a heads up, because of payment processor stuff, most are free on itch.io right now also.

As I understand it, those were ones that were already free (to an extent, you could still pay if you wanted to before this).

18

A lot were, but not all. I believe Itch made the decision to allow this type of content only if it's free for now though, so a lot has gone totally free (with the option to donate).

I'm not totally sure on any of this, because this content is not something I follow, but I think I heard this is the case somewhere here recently. I could be wrong.

Well I hope you don't bust while playing Postal 2. Not really any sexy stuff on there, but you can dump gas on people, burn them alive, and then piss on them.

Also, cats can be used as suppressors.

Postal 2 is legendary, played the whole game right through! I love the Asian ALL AMERICAN grocery store with the interesting stuff upstairs lol

I can't remember if it was p1 or p2, but I remember having to fight Gary Coleman. Lol

That's Postal 2 - I think an early day of the week like day 2. Having to go to the mall and wait in line.

4

Yep. I remember it being in the mall for Coleman's book signing. I also remember that they actually got Gary Coleman as the voice actor.

2

I'm rewatching some Criminal Minds. You'd be surprised/horrified at what some people bust to. The main word of that show is sexual sadism. That said, this one does stand out among the other games lol

I've heard good things about Hunie Pop. So far it's... uncomfortably sexist. But I guess what do you expect. I'll give it a shot.

9

It was published in 2015 and it feels like it was written in 2007, I find it mostly funny but I agree it's not be the best ambassador for the genre.

10

I’ve played Being a ΔΙΚ, House Party, and Fetish Locator, and they’re pretty great. Heard good things about Hunnie Pop and Leap of Faith.

Honestly I think this was cool af. I'm not gonna play any of those games, but we should stand by it for being a cool move.

Hunie Pop is actually a valid puzzle game on its own merits, with a surprising amount of strategy involved.

48

I'm glad they consider me a pervert slash freedom enthusiast, and not the other way around.

7

I read up a little on what's on offer and it seems that the Leap of Faith game is actually quality, story driven, and deals with heavy subjects like bipolar depression , body image problems and more.

I'm going to out myself a little bit in praise of the horny games genre. I enjoy comedies, and I've had more laughs while playing these games than anything else I've watched or played in the last few years. So many horny games put you in a place to have good, light hearted fun. Being a DIK (included in the bundle) has so many great moments with Derek and Hell week especially. Being a DIK probably has the best soundtrack and needle drops in all of gaming. Hunie Pop's dialogue is also incredibly funny. If any of this kindles your interest in the AVN genre, make sure you play Eternum.; it's far and away the funniest game and some of the best times I've had by myself wearing my headphones and cackling like a madman.

AVN devs are virtuosos of game design. They are pouring their souls into making these experiences no one will ever hear about because of their sexual content, and subsisting on mainly donations.

Same Edit : found a workaround by looking up the issue. Go to this page https://www.gog.com/cart/add/1486951595

It should add the Freedom to Buy Games as a free item in your shopping basket, which you can then add to your account

41

this worked. was already logged in. loaded that link in a different tab, went back to the other and refreshed. saw the cart had something, loaded it and was able to check out.

Don't worry, step-brother is on the case and currently extracting the servers from the washing machine.

It might be that there is a region lock or something. It only worked for me after connecting via VPN to the NL. And then it still complained but the games showed up in the library

If any one of the games are banned in your country, you will get an error.

This page lists what's banned where: https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/29306002386845

Two of the games were banned in my country, so a quick VPN to the Netherlands and the "purchase" went through.

I did log a support ticket with GOG and they referred me to the KB article above.

Makes sense
My country bans NSFW so i had to vpn my way to UK
i didnt get the offer for the porn games but for Postal 2

They should let people buy credits.. Then redeem them for the game they want.

Or Wii points. With craftfully engineered payment options and prices so that emptying your account was a puzzle where you always end up buying something you didn't really want.

Combined with star points in Europe, the loyalty reward points that you couldn't use for anything for years... And then they let you exchange them for Wii points, at a ridiculously low conversion rate, and you're struggling to use those again.

That won't help. The CC companies will still be facilitating the purchasing of the products which exist on the site.

3

Then reduce amount off during sales and give people bonus credits whenever they buy something. Bonus credits can be used wherever...

Or... They can create their own crypto coin and people can buy that with dollars. Visa and MasterCard don't stop people (although do charge a ridiculous fee) from buying crypto already, which can be used on all sorts of more nefarious dealings.

We can get even more convoluted if we need to.

get al lowe and sierra to come back to make one more leisure suit larry retro point and click investigating the disappearance and censorship of games.

Most of the games are forbidden in Germany, so you have to redeem one by one:

One or more games from the Freedom To Buy offer is banned in your country. If you are in one of the countries below, please go here: https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/29306002386845 This article contains codes to redeem the games one at a time, and will allow you to redeem those games which are available in your country

Double check your library. I kept getting errors but they did redeem

visa and mastercard should be free to do what they want with their services. Pick another payment method.

This would be fine and dandy if they didn't have basically the whole market

They do this for years, i've several games for free from GOG, what's different?

Some of the games didn't even installed, "it's free cool, let me grabbed"

Most of these games are about something we call "sex". Obviously you're not interested in that.

Yes, im very interested watching digital characters having sex

This isn't even a read the article moment. It's a read the second half of the headline moment.
