I'm too old for this stuff as opposed to being too young ( I really cannot be bothered with it).
It clutters up my views with Games (?) I have no interest in.
A simple filter would be handy for me, make my life easier.
Thank you GOG :o)

Okay, so all of this is made by DAZ3D, a program created in Utah. DAZ3D like Unreal or Unity has it's own asset store. Some of these games are also made with Blender or Octane. Treasure Of Nadia though, for example is made in RPG Maker. If it's not to your style, that is fine. But it is the style we've grown accustomed to. Once again, we're supporting these games on Patreon with our money. So if you don't like it, it really won't stop it from coming as others do. We're here for the story. Chasing Sunsets is beloved because of its story. The "I don't like thing" posts make no sense. I can't stand strategy games, but you don't see me complaining on the game posted today because it is a strategy game. Nope, I keep my opinions to myself and let those who enjoy it, enjoy it. Hope you can understand that.

If you don't like it, just ignore it. You aren't the audience for it, quite simply.
If they did give it completely to AI then I regret my purchase. Hence, I'm still doing Season 2 for the channel so it could be months before I get to Season 4 to verify. I don't mind AI created games like Strong Girls, which has a human writer. But if AI wrote the story too then what's the point? It won't even make sense from a plot standpoint. I really hope Bear In The Night didn't do that.

Not saying they should be forced not to do their game! On the other hand, "the world, the money and their moms do this and you can't do nothing about it" is not a reply, it's irrelevant to the criticism, at least most of the time: I'm not about to get a law to pass or to get voted. What I say is these elements do not blend and their effect has consequences on the viewer. It's not a "like/don't like"stance as in " it's my taste or yours", more of "one should have measure using certain kind of art direction or there are intrinsic risks" that detract from the reception.
I frankly don't know where you found any censorship intention in what I said. What worries me is that a trend gets bigger yet already shows flaws that are difficult to mitigate.

That other store doesn't mention any AI, and they still require disclosure I believe.
DAZ does have some AI functions in their Studio now though afaik..

Again, this is the style and we like it. We do not want these to go mainstream. Especially after what happened with No Mercy. If it turns people off, that's good. We're a niche community that supports each other. As long as we have money, this scene will continue.

I literally own 330+ games on GOG and have been a member since 2020. I just don’t live on the forums like some of you.

Sorry not everyone thinks the same way you do. Wanting the option to filter out softcore porn from the homepage isn’t bait it’s a reasonable request that’s been brought up for years by actual paying users.

You don’t have to agree with me, but pretending I’m not a real user or dismissing anyone who speaks up as “bait” is just lazy forum talk. GOG used to be about better curation and respecting its user base. I want to help keep it that way.
Mall? Who even hangs out at malls anymore? And back when they mattered, I could just not walk into the Victoria’s Secret store.

GOG doesn’t give me that choice... they’re pushing this stuff front and center on the homepage and emailing it out like it’s some big release. That’s not passive promotion, that’s forced visibility.

And let’s be real: these aren’t subtle games. “Lust Academy” isn’t exactly a deep character-driven RPG.

Also Steam lets you filter out way more than just NSFW content. You can filter tags, entire genres, hide games from your library, make purchases private, and completely tailor your storefront experience. GOG doesn’t offer any of that.

Asking for a simple toggle isn’t censorship, it’s just common sense.

It's one thing to request a filter to blend out certain genres - it's another to call it degenerate therefore making those who buy it degenerates as well. There's no need for insults and it definitely is not deserved just because you dislike a certain genre.

You want to help GOG with the curation by demanding a filter? Or do you mean that you want to help GOG keeping only the genres you like by complaining about those you dislike?

Guess what, they are doing the same with strategy games which I really, really dislike.

Yeah, let's be real. You have never played a single one of those games - have you? If you had you would have known that Lust Academy is very story oriented with hours of actual story and only a few minutes of sexual content in them. If you had you would have known that Lust Academy actually offers some minigames inside and quite a few choices. Yes, it is no RPG but why should it? It is a visual novel which is a different genre. It's fine not to like something but before you judge something it might be better to inform yourself what exactly you are trying to judge.

Not exactly correct. Even GOG let's you hide games from your library and you can filter tags ect. at least if you are using the search function of the store ... you cannot hide them in the actual catalogue though.

Common sense? Common sense would be to ignore what you don't like ... but I am aware that this is too much to ask from some people ... but yes, it is practical and can make browsing the catalogue easier.

Alright, so let me make this clear and simple. Please GOG, can we get this damn filter so that people will stop complaining? I think it would be the best for everyone. That way people who want to see these games would see them and people who don't won't see them. Makes it easy for everyone.

But I swear, if after the filter is added there are still these kind of complaints, I'm going right to reports. I know there are some jokes cracked every now and again. That's fine. But after that filter is finally up, I don't want to see people complaining about this content anymore. You are right that GOG should add simple filter options. Everyone here is 100% right about that. But what you aren't right about is what games shouldn't be here because of content. That isn't what GOG are about.

My site GameSieve.com might function as an alternative front-end for gog's catalogue/homepage - I exclude all games with the NSFW-tag by default, but you can set your own defaults (e.g. allowing NSFW, excluding strategy).

You do this by changing the selection and pressing the "remember" button underneath the applied filters (for changes other than the NSFW-exclusion, which is remembered automatically and so doesn't show the button on its own), which stores the country/currency/sorting/filters selection in a cookie and automatically applies them on subsequent visits.

Listen, everyone! The long night is over! We have TheGrimLord's permission to joke (sometimes)! Truly, this day shall long be remembered as The Day of Begrudgingly Allowed Occasional Jests! Go now, People of the Forum, and be moderately merry!

On a more serious note, I just don't want the battles that we had over these kinds of games. We all know what it was like many years ago and there's no need for that.

Oi I own about 845. And I'm still having that Neverwinter Demeaning Edition shoved in my face.
Don't get me wrong, I'm tottaly fine with filters, in fact I really want them, I use augmented Steam for a reason.
That the Topic only ever arises with games that show skin is hilarious though.
Years ? Has it really been so long ?

A porn without climax? Now, that's a new one...

Actually 844 well fuck.

Well, one thing with porn games is they are not easily filtered out using tags without "collateral losses" so to speak. If you filter out "NSFW" or "sexual content" you'll also hide stuff like Postal, or Witcher or Larry. If we get an option to hide games of our choice (a sort of anti-wishlist is what I want) I'll hide all the roguelikes which I hate just as surely as I'll hide the porn. But filtering out games tagged "roguelike" using the currently available way is more predictable and narrow, so they're less of a problem browsing the store. (of course, using the tags for anything is iffy around here, as has been discussed many times)

Also, the porn games tend to have... let's say particular aesthetics, mostly either these creepy uncanny sex dolls or anime, stuff that you don't have to be in any way morally outraged by the sexual nature of the games to want to hide for a more pleasant experience with the store.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there's no "moral panic" with some users, I'm just saying there are other reasons the porn games prompt most of these requests.
