    Are we cool with GoG yet because I still haven’t seen any real apology for their Nazi rune email bs beyond a “oopsie”.

      Assholes are employed in a wide range of jobs, including editing/composing newsletters at GoG, and apparently we’d be breaking our own rules on discrimination if we as employers were to use the common traits of bigots as reason for rejecting applications. So the best they can do is internally scold the twat and externally control the damage.

      And the reason I’m taking a reasonable stance is because if we were to lynch and boycott every supplier for events we don’t like, we wouldn’t have a single supplier of games outside of ‘direct contact for a person who also peddles used media’ - and that contact had better be a street address written using a ecofriendly, ethical-brand pencil and parchment, grown and produced in the neighbourhood. Because the only way to be completely clean of problematic companies, barring not getting any games because they had to be internationally produced and distributed, is to not use any distribution platform, transport courier, electronic device of any kind etc.

        Which is why I’m weaning myself off of media, in general. Haven’t been able to afford streaming in like a decade, for starters.

          There are high quality community-powered, pay-nothing-to-the-distribution-corpo options like torrenting movies (pirating is making a copy, not taking a copy), but I respect the move. Staying up to date isn’t that important and it’s not always worth your time anyway.

      Nope. Pretty sure they’ve showed their colours and a “sorry you got upset” is the best you’ll get

    I realised recently that one of the only reasons I was subconsciously uninterested in this game when it came out was because it wasn’t available on GOG. Then within weeks it suddenly showed up on GOG, lol.
