Plot twist - what Collective Shout wanted all along was to get these specific games for free (and more importantly - without official transactions to prove they've bought them)

Nice, a reason for me to log into gog
Fuck Google and its fcking recaptcha with its fcking traffic lights, fcking crosswalks, fcking hydrants, fcking bicycles and fcking CARS! FCK!
Quick add: https://www.gog.com/cart/add/1486951595
That worked. But using the https://freedomtobuy.games/ links kept giving me "something went wrong". So ^ this link is the way to do it.
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?
They probably cant do this unilaterally. Maybe gog paid for those copies and they are limited in quantity.
Word of warning, clicking "Claim" on any of these games claims them all. I clicked claim on Postal 2 and got a warning message that I never thought to read, but now I have "Lust Theory" and other timeless classics in my GoG library.
Just wanted to put this out there.
man i don't even care. I claimed them all, i'm almost definitely never going to play any of these games, but i think its pretty cool what gog is doing here.
My profile is private anyway so it doesn't matter lol

thanks for the Free Postal 2 GOG
I tried it for an hour before I gave up. The cringe was too hard for me to get past.
agreed but for me i kinda didnt like the racism things,i am not easily offended, i gave up on the game after the religious joke.
atleast i "Tried" Postal 2 and didnt buy it
I am the gayest gay who ever was a gay. And I apparently own these things now. In solidarity with the goons! Freedom!
Nice 😆 thx
Whether you fellows like the games or not is not the point, the point is to get the games on principle alobe (ie; Oppose censorship)
Based GOG
I got all the games. Thank you!
Of the list, I would say Lust Theory is worth a look.
You are groundhogs daying through high school/college trying to bang every single woman in your life. Animations are... sufficient and I do kind of like that any of the more fucked up stuff is almost always followed up with "and then you were kicked so hard in the balls you died" although it would be nice if they weren't critical path for progression. And it is pretty hilarious that the game lets you define your relationship to the various ladies you live with... but it is still pretty clearly coded for incest of some form which leads to hilarity like "It is so morally wrong that you are having sex with your Live In Janitor"... which I guess would actually be really morally wrong...
But yeah. Mostly the bundle is the bottom of the barrel. Or stuff that has been around so long it is mostly just a meme for how bad porn games are (house party).
The exact list of games is as follows:
- POSTAL 2
- Agony + Agony UNRATED
- Leap of Love
- Being a DIK – Season 1
- Leap of Faith
- House Party
- HuniePop
- Lust Theory
- Treasure of Nadia
- Summer’s Gone – Season 1
- Fetish Locator Week One
- Sapphire Safari
....
Postal 2?
Is that weird? I only copy pasted this from the article.
Haha it's a little weird! Postal 2 isn't a porn game, but is ultraviolent and has been generating controversy for 20 years!
Still got it, Postal Guy
Maybe giving away the old game is their way of advertising for the remake of postal 2

Free marketing for Running with Scissors.
I used to live in Tucson, I knew a couple guys at Running with Scissors and yeah this doesn't surprise me. Dudes are pros at getting their names out there free of charge. When there's any sort of controversy of even the slightest thing in the games industry they WILL try and slap Postal on it. it works. they've been around for like 30 years now and have made like what? 4 postal games? and then remastered the others a few times that they had other devs work on. Completely independent too. They're not a huge company but everyone that works for them has been comfortable without much effort for some time now.
That is kind of amazing! Good for them for playing that hand well!

Is Sapphire Safari... a furry porn version of pokemon snap??? I'm going to try it for shits and giggles because I adore pokemon snap. Wish me luck.

Great catch! Thanks for sharing! As if I needed any more reason to respect GOG more than I already do. GOG always have been the OG GigaChads of online game merchants.
