I thought it was obvious I was including myself in that :D

Sadly, the universe does not allow one to keep his age in sync with apparent levels of maturity. I could use less lower back pain :P.

It's worse than that I'm afraid!

idbeholdME: Hmm, so this is why GOG was suddenly OK with selling Agony and Succubus. They actually implemented an age confirmation.

Haven't encountered it yet. Probably depends on where you live.
yeah our countries are more mature it seems

morolf: Really pointless. I hope it stays at this minor annoyance and they don't eventually implement some sort of age-verification through ID or something similar.
If this keeps ID verification out of the store while allowing some other goggers to buy games they couldn't buy before(due to GOG not having any verification), then that's all fine and well.

Leroux: Highly doubt that. For that they'd have to implement real age verification, not something every 5-year-old can easily circumvent.
FYI: other people can find ways around ID card systems as well. It's just more security theatre and virtue signaling.

Mr.Mumbles: I was just going to check out the Genesis Alpha One store page when I got this "mature content" warning. That's the first time I've ever seen this, so I assume this is new? *shrug*
Yes, the content warning is indeed a new feature :)

Sort of like this bit from Home Alone 2, then?

CymTyr: Well while being mostly useless, it does resolve any responsibility on GOG's behalf.
Quite. If it protects GoG from even one legal challenge, I'm willing to occasionally click the "Yes, I wasn't under the age of 5 when I opened my account here and started paying with my credit card" button

This is an idiotic feature. We should be able to flag once, for our user account, what age we are, not have to do it every time we try to view the game page for a game with mature content.

Trust GOG to practically never introduce a new feature on the site, then when they do, of course it is an annoying and unnecessary one.

Adds to the hesitancy of viewing the catalogue on gog as opposed to elsewhere, so i'm cool with it.

Lol. Yeah, if they want to put more barriers in between me buying their games, I'm fine with that! :-D

Oh no ... hang on. I know what it is! They want to be just like Steam and Steam does this, so now GOG has to. Except the user is supposed to enter their birthday before they click the button. Looks like they got it wrong!

As far as I can tell, it's once per session, and not once per game page viewing. I agree a "once per account" feature would be better, though.

As for the rest: if this helps get some (decent quality) mature games onto the store/site, and is being used instead of an ID system(and lets gog users in some countries buy said mature games), then i'd say the slight annoyance is worth it.

(edit...some advice: Some of your criticisms of this new feature come across as "reaching". If you are trying to get that other thing of yours to go anywhere and trying to be taken more seriously to that end, you should think about focusing on criticizing GOG's actual serious problems/downsides and not just complaining about/nitpicking every decision GOG makes[no matter how good/bad it is])
