Elmofongo: Funny you joined here 3 years ago, and yet judging from your rep this is the first post you've ever made her concering this situation.

Show's how much you cared about this place at all, especially since you admit you pirate your games because you are probably stingy with your money or poor.

ARacer: Nice ad hominems.
You're basically saying in the past 3 years I haven't posted anything about an event that happened today. Gotcha
Do you think your opinion is more valid if you have a higher post count? Honest question.

Finally what you say about me being poor or stingy. I could give you my PSN ID but you'd just say that's someone else account or something. Think whatever you want.
Yeah I had to get it out of my system because honestly boycotting GOG over this is pathetic.

Your boycott would hold more credence if GOG straight up removed Postal 2 due to "SJW" backlash.

But this is just a fucking Twitter post. Nothing was lost here. You still have the game, and its expansion here.

And honestly, who are these SJWs you complain about?

And you think the loons GOG apologized to will let it stay at that?

If so, you'd better educate yourself pronto, because it starts with capitulating on 'small issues' like that tweet, then these types push for more. Just look at Valve before they stopped caring what these cretins thought.

Totally irrelevant, but "loons" is actually a perfect descriptor for crazy people on Twitter.

Also, who wrote the analysis you're describing? I've seen the same story from other SJW conspiracy theorists and I'm wondering what you're cribbing from.

Come on bro, SJWs are real and they are after your games. We have games censored left and right, games removed from the steam store front. Games not localized because of fear of game journalist backlash. Shaming of developers who make a slightly attractive female character. Have you forgotten the gamers are dead fiasco?

Do you think it's fair for a game to have good review scores because the developer performed oral sex to the reviewer yet some good japanese games get lower scores because the female characters have big boobs?

Last time I checked, here on GOG if you want to buy Baldur's Gate you need to buy the remastered version as well that was made by the company that gave us the expansion with the trans female character and the goblin who whines about racism.

Go to deepfreeze.it and you'll have a big list of some of the SJW game journalist I complain about.

Finally I disagree with you that nothing of value was lost.
GOG just lost their integrity completely by bending to some SJW nobodies from resetera instead of siding with the gamers.

I am after a few games. Mostly I've added them to the wishlist on GOG. You could help by adding your vote.

I've seen this with Marvel, DC comics, other video games, video game companies, Movies, just about every entertainment venue as person could have.

The thing is, the people who complain, are not the people who actually buy the product. For example, Marvel Comics introduced several heavily Feminist and SJW comics including going so far as to use currently existing characters.

Their sales fell, they had to eventually cancel the SJW versions as nobody was buying them. GOG should learn from other instances of this exact thing.

These people don't want an apology, they don't want anything fixed, they don't want feminist or LGBT entertainment. All they do want, is to complain, they want control, over entertainments they do not consume or are even interested in.

They look for shadows constantly, to feel like they are making a difference somehow but if they really wanted to make a difference, it wouldn't be complaining about first world video games, manspreading on a bus, comics, or shows.

As a Mixed race woman, and as a Gamer, GOG should not have apologized. You cannot placate or please these people. They don't want to be pleased, they don't want to fix anything or get a resolution, they literally just want to complain. (And call me racial slurs for disagreeing)

I won't Boycott GOG, but I will be less likely to purchase knowing GOG will not care. What's one drop less in the bucket, anyway?

So you think GOG is gonna go as far as remove the majority of games I have in my purchased library and only leave the ones that are "SJW" enough if this continues?

They might aswell pull out The Witcher Games if thats the case.

And honestly I used to be Pro-GamerGater and followed figures like InternetAristocrat (Now Mister Metokur) and Sargon of Akkad and listend to their opinions like it was gospel, all saying to defend Free-Speech and such.

But in recent times they now showed their true colors.

Sargon of Akkad who claimed he was left-wing, definitely not alt-right, and is now joining UKIP.

And also can't read .:D

You seem like you would be interesting to talk to, I think I remember you in your Gater days.

AgentBJ09: Anyone with common sense can see all GOG needed to do was tell these complainers that it's none of their business and they're not interested. That's it.
Yes, absolutely, GOG unwittingly just invited the regressive left to make a playground out of GOG's ecosystem. A sad day for the gaming industry indeed.

So? You should know that GamerGate was a name to a movement, not something based around what the most popular thought.

Otherwise, what's stopping GOG from refusing to host future games if another incident like this happens? They want good PR, they said it themselves, but it seems they're more willing to listen to overt and open slanderers than their own users and customers.

That's Bad Business 101, and they've failed the lesson twice now.

Well to them, its safer to not associate your brand with a name that is associated with Bigots.

And sadly GamerGate IS seen by the mainstream and the general public as a movement of Bigots lashing out against the "progressive and cultural marxist left, who they think are run by Subversive Jews, Tyrannical Femenists, Decedent LGBT people, and Anti-White hating Black and Brown people.

Its a lose, lose situation either way.

I'm adopting "Subversive Jew, Tyrannical Feminist, and Decadent Queer" as my official title.

No it isn't, because ignoring these whiners was the way to win, and they didn't consider that.

Again, you do realize what you just said is legally speaking libel, which the people who got angry at the tombstone gag were very willing to throw around as an emotional dog whistle because they've done so with impunity for so long, yes? That's their MO, always has been.

And GOG not only fell for it, again, they echoed the mindset and agreed with them. Again, Bad Business 101.

Considering I had to take a few classes in Criminal and Business Law in high school and college, I'd say I know what is libel and what isn't. The types who called people like me bigots, racists, and etc. with no basis, yes, that's exactly what they did.

GOG PR on Twitter did the same in their apology when they said GG was an 'abusive movement', which has long been disproven and yet shown to be true for the opposing side. IE, the ones who jumped down GOG's throat and got them to capitulate and remove the tweet.
