GOG In 24 hours 1 million people have claimed FreedomToBuy games & shown their support
GOG

In 24 hours, one million people have claimed the FreedomToBuy games and shown their support.

The response is so much beyond our expectations that our team needs to work around the clock to maintain the stability of the platform.

For people who had difficulties claiming the games, we’re expanding the action by a few hours; take action quickly.

And remember: any DRM-free game you get and download from GOG can never be taken away from you.

Any game that disappears today becomes exponentially harder to revive later.

:steamthumbsup: :steamthis:

Gamers don't let Religious groups or "Collective Shout" or Mastercard censor our game stores. First they come for Adult and horror games, next time they will come for any game they deem offensive!

GOG has always stood for trying to preserve games. Thanks to them games like Blood Omen Legacy of Kain and Silent Hill 4 got re-released and updated to modern systems. They deserve our support.

Good on GOG!
Never no link to that list.

In 2014, Collective Shout protested the video game Grand Theft Auto V ("GTA V"). They described GTA V as a "video game that encourages players to brutally murder women for entertainment". The game was banned from Target and Kmart retail chains in Australia that year, for which the group claimed responsibility.

An Australian pressure group named Collective Shout has claimed responsibility for the recent removal of certain NSFW (not safe for work) games and content from the platforms Steam and Itch.io

They also want Detroit: Become Human removed. This group has gotten legal games removed from stores before and they are responsible.

They are working on fixing that. It's due to the high site traffic.

Better than Steam in a few respects. And infinitely better than ♥♥♥♥♥ like Epic and uPlay.
People claim free games.

It's grand standing. The games that were banned on Steam also aren't on GoG. So if they really are against the censorship, add them to GOG.

Congrats to GOG, also thanks for the info @OP :steamthumbsup:
There is steam, and then there's everyone else that's left. I pick steam.
It would be great if those 1 Million gamers migrated away from Mastercard and Visa.

We need market liberty and agnostic money, not social credit and coercion.
