This whole saga might just inadvertently make porno games explode (heh) in popularity. I've never played one myself, but if GOG is giving some away for free, I'm going to download a few and see what the hype is about.
That's a good timing. I'm looking at my calendar and I am due for my workout session anyway...
You got a calendar for that? I only got a watch to keep track of my sessions
Just a heads up, because of payment processor stuff, most are free on itch.io right now also.
As I understand it, those were ones that were already free (to an extent, you could still pay if you wanted to before this).
My mindset exactly, may we well see if the juice is worth the squeeze, if you will.
I've heard good things about Hunie Pop. So far it's... uncomfortably sexist. But I guess what do you expect. I'll give it a shot.
It was published in 2015 and it feels like it was written in 2007, I find it mostly funny but I agree it's not be the best ambassador for the genre.
Honestly I think this was cool af. I'm not gonna play any of those games, but we should stand by it for being a cool move.
Hunie Pop is actually a valid puzzle game on its own merits, with a surprising amount of strategy involved.
the bundle includes postal 2
Yeah that's why I redeemed it 🤥
It's okay, we don't judge.
Great news, perverts/freedom enthusiasts
How did they know it was me?
I'm going to out myself a little bit in praise of the horny games genre. I enjoy comedies, and I've had more laughs while playing these games than anything else I've watched or played in the last few years. So many horny games put you in a place to have good, light hearted fun. Being a DIK (included in the bundle) has so many great moments with Derek and Hell week especially. Being a DIK probably has the best soundtrack and needle drops in all of gaming. Hunie Pop's dialogue is also incredibly funny. If any of this kindles your interest in the AVN genre, make sure you play Eternum.; it's far and away the funniest game and some of the best times I've had by myself wearing my headphones and cackling like a madman.
AVN devs are virtuosos of game design. They are pouring their souls into making these experiences no one will ever hear about because of their sexual content, and subsisting on mainly donations.
I read up a little on what's on offer and it seems that the Leap of Faith game is actually quality, story driven, and deals with heavy subjects like bipolar depression , body image problems and more.
Ermm I am here for a friend
Oh shoot, postal 2?
the horniest of them all
Damn, I missed it.
F
They should let people buy credits.. Then redeem them for the game they want.
That won't help. The CC companies will still be facilitating the purchasing of the products which exist on the site.
Then reduce amount off during sales and give people bonus credits whenever they buy something. Bonus credits can be used wherever...
Or... They can create their own crypto coin and people can buy that with dollars. Visa and MasterCard don't stop people (although do charge a ridiculous fee) from buying crypto already, which can be used on all sorts of more nefarious dealings.
We can get even more convoluted if we need to.
I sure do miss Microsoft points
Or Wii points. With craftfully engineered payment options and prices so that emptying your account was a puzzle where you always end up buying something you didn't really want.
Combined with star points in Europe, the loyalty reward points that you couldn't use for anything for years... And then they let you exchange them for Wii points, at a ridiculously low conversion rate, and you're struggling to use those again.
That's just called buying a game.
Yeah but with extra steps to give the company plausible deniability.
Good Old Gooners
I'll admit, when I get horny booting up ol' postal 2 just gets me right where I need to be.
Not working for me, just getting error messages when trying to redeem ...
Same Edit : found a workaround by looking up the issue. Go to this page https://www.gog.com/cart/add/1486951595
It should add the Freedom to Buy Games as a free item in your shopping basket, which you can then add to your account
Worked for me, thanks. I will jerk off in your honour
That's their servers being hammered at the moment.
Really taking a pounding.
Don't worry, step-brother is on the case and currently extracting the servers from the washing machine.
get al lowe and sierra to come back to make one more leisure suit larry retro point and click investigating the disappearance and censorship of games.

Mhh, apparently it doesn't work in Germany. I only get errors.
Most of the games are forbidden in Germany, so you have to redeem one by one:
