I think we need to have another witcher sale. I don't think we've had enouhg.

But doesn't everyone in the known Galaxy(tm) have a copy of all three games by now?
(also a musing/sidenote: I find it interesting GOG didn't have an age gate back when it added it's parent company's games)

Interesting. I thought GOG had made their name precisely by being different and going against the flow, providing an alternative to certain industry 'standards', rather than simply copying others?

This doesn't mean GOG has to go against industry standards in every single case. It's still going against the flow given the lack of DRM. I don't know what are the exact reasons of this warning sign implementation. I suspect however that some legal reasons might be involved.

And not banning AO and/or controversial games solely because they are AO and/or controversial is also an industry standard.

So are we going to get that benefit too, along with these new needless annoyance screens?

Or, alternatively, is GOG going to give us these needless annoyance screens but yet still not reverse their undeclared policy to ban AO and/or controversial games?

GOG really should provide full transparency about this matter, for once, finally (although I doubt that would happen, as historically, they've been extremely non-transparent, including directly as it relates to this matter of why they have, up until now, banned most AO/controversial games from being allowed onto the GOG store).

As I said, in my opinion Hatred and Agony should arrive here. Succubus won't be a great game (those who already played it agree on this), so this potentially opens the possibility of publishing other similar in quality games here. This includes some of the AO games. I don't want GOG to become a dumpster bin in the process however.

I don't think it's possible to be completely transparent in this case. Steam for example declared some time ago that it's removing the curation process from its store (except for obvious trolling). From time to time we can hear about a game being removed from the store for not entirely specified reasons. It's a lack of consistency despite the officially declared policy. Even if GOG declared official rules, there still would be doubt whether the game should or shouldn't be released here. There's no possible way to ensure full transparency in this case. I presume the developers receive some feedback why their game is refused to be published on GOG.

I keep seeing people saying similar, and I ask: what's the problem with (some) more games? It's not like everyone has to buy them.
(yeah, way more games would be hard to sort through....but a bit more wouldn't hurt much)
(sidenote: GOG needs better ways to filter out games when searching through the catalog, for people who desire such things)

It's probably because people see what's going on on Steam. Try to find a really valuable indie game in the masses of games that are released there every day. It's easy if a game gains popularity for some reasons, but before that, it's just impossible. I don't want a situation in which good games vanish in the crowd.

The amount of games Steam has, though, is much higher than the amount on GOG....I think we've a long ways to go before we need to worry about such things.

Thanks, now I received the warning. I tried a lot of games but not Bunnyhop.

What's the purpose then of the Birthday date on our accounts?
/account/settings/personal

Do you mean you actually put in accurate information? That’s mad. Don’t give any data at all out on the internet unless your legally forced to. Am happy to provide a year if need be, but not full DOB, it’s actually illegal in Germany to request full DOB. This information should be restricted, I can’t believe banks and other firms are throwing this information around like it doesn’t matter, I already raised it with my bank that I need to send this via the internet each login, they don’t care. Data protection and privacy is long since out of the window.

Of course then the onus would be on them to process all the legal documentation while following exact procedure to make sure it all gets securely transmitted.

Sorry to disappoint you, it's not. Only what you can do with the information is heavily restricted by GDPR (to which a lot of the sometimes rather strict German rules contributed).

GOG is pretty much on the safe side, because they don't ask your full name. Only the combination of full name and DOB makes people identifiable (somewhat). In my case the full name would be more critical, since afaik I'm the only person in the world with that exact name, while countless people share my birthday.
