Exactly, its all "freeeedooom" until someone does not want to promote whatever you are using it as an excuse to gain then suddenly they are attacking your "rights". It's all so completely disingenuous.

What about my freedom to NOT be exposed to the things you want the freedom to be exposed to? What makes you so much more important than me? These are not questions these people want to be put into a corner to answer.

And again the same thing that has been said since the start of the flood of porn into all other media.... IF I wanted porn.... I would get porn.... but I DON'T want porn so quit creepily trying to force it on me.

If I want to censor something for myself... how exactly does it impact your exposure to it? The reaction is "if it becomes optional then eventually it wont be included at all".... even if that was the case.... I don't remember games becoming less violent because almost all FPS games had violence filters. And even if all porn disappears from games.... what exactly is lost here? It's watching fake people having sex....

And now I have to quit this thread because all the manipulative incoherent nonsense the vocal minority is always trying to bully us with is working me up too much.

That's true. I didn't even catch that at first, you're more perceptive than me.

You don't understand...Your freedoms are bigoted. /s

That's the funny thing to anyone who understands what bigotry literally means..... none as blind as they who will not see.

There is the option to delete emails. You can use it. LOL. You don't get your daily dosis of porn ads? Are you actually surfing the internet? LOL.

Porn is everywhere. Deal with it. Minority? It is usually the same group of 4-8 users whining about these games here. The rest or the majority just doesn't care enough or they found the delete button.

It is also interesting how people are interpreting 'my freedom'. It usually ends up restricting the freedoms of others and leads to censorship. A game like NAM also known as Napalm is good, but boobs are bad. 'Experience the intense action and real ambience of the Vietnam war.' sounds soooo much better than 'Play as a young college student exploring love, lust, and sexual fetishes with the hottest women in town.'

I'm sure GOG would be all for implementing a filter/ignore/whatever functionality á la Steam.... If somebody stepped up and offered to pay the development time for it.

Many seem to think that a "simple feature" means it'd be easy/cheap to implement. If it was, I think GOG'd have done it already, if only to prevent threads like these from popping up constantly.

I never said it is a personal choice, I said it was a personal responsibility.

If there is a newsletter that might contain stuff that can trigger you then it is your responsibility to decide if you want to subscribe or not to this newsletter. You can ask Gog is they would be nice enough to provide some filtering for it but it is not their obligation to do so.

When I subscribed to the newsletter a decade ago, there was no pornography in the store. GOG changed the content post facto
I don't care what's in the store, I just don't want emails that annoy me. If they sent me an email showing Vietnamese people mutilated with napalm I would annoyed at that too but they haven't done that

Post the codes here and someone interested will use them, problem solved. There are bigger issues to make drama about.

Hmm, all of GOG's games are associated with tags. Currently there is option to search by tag, effectively hiding all games without that tag. But there is not the opposite: selecting a tag specifically to hide it.

This wouldn't address the mailing list but I would assume it's only a small change in code to add a function like this for the store. They've already set up something that does the same thing in reverse.

Just gotta say that the difference between war crime photos and some 2D/3D naked sprites are nowhere close in inappropriate marketing emails and I definitely wouldn't use being "annoyed" at the former for something so horrific.

Weeks ago there was a game released here where you can play Nazis or Soviets in 1941. Was there a huge outrage? Nope. People don't care about it. I think the game in question is disgusting. I am flabbergasted that a Polish store is offering this crap.

The newsletter features often games like the Sniper: Ghost Warrior series. These games feature a bullet cam so that you can see how the headshot really hits the target. Was there a huge outrage? Nope. People don't care about it. I don't like games like these. What is the point of this crap?

Then you have these adult games. There is one, two or maybe three emails per year with these games. Every single time you have threads with outrage like this one here. People also starting threads where they complain about the frontpage being cluttered with porn games everywhere. After these complaints I went to the frontpage and saw just ONE single tile featuring an adult game. There is lots of overreactions and drama going on. The discussions about these adult games usually have no results. The only thing where everyone here agrees is the need of a filter option.

This wishlist entry is about such a filter option. Everyone who wants the filter option should support this wish. That's all you can do here.

On the store, yes.

But who knows what would need to be done to integrate something like this into their backends/mailing system, so that it could dynamically send out content based on each user's preferences. Nobody but GOG can really know that, but as I said, I'd assume that if it was easy and seeing how this thing gets a thread pretty much every month or two, GOG would have already done it.

I don't know how I can be more clear. I find it annoying and I don't want to be annoyed by corporations I do business with
This is funny as I am a SQL developer and have done automated emails based on SQL queries. It's not hard. Testing to make sure you haven't done something unintended takes a bit of time when you first roll out a system but nothing an experienced dev can't do in a few hours or an in-experienced dev over the course of the week.

But it would cost SOME money so unless people raise a stink about what annoys them, it won't get done
You can hide tags in the store. It's the eye icon on the ride side of the tag when you mouse over it

Yes, you described your overreaction. I summed up the past threads about your problem with adult games. There was no result. The wishlist entry above has only 1389 votes. This seems not to be enough to convince GOG to do something. Another wishlist entry for closing the forum because it is a toxic cesspit has 1486 votes. The forum is still open. This is the situation. There are not enough users who want an adult content filter.

Wow, I never knew this...I'm pretty sure a bunch of people don't know this either as we've had past threads about filtering genres in the store.
