    @Solumbran @JigglySackles there was a particularly heavy handed show off when visa and Mastercard were going after adult games on other platforms in a «but them before we're forced to delist them», but other than that I don't remember them being pushed particularly strongly

    The developer's website has a detailed FAQ section on that. In short, though Valve doesn't seem to have explained or told the developer what needs to be removed or censored, the developer thinks it's to do with an early pre-release scene where a man brought his teen daughter to the horse farm, where she sat on the shoulders of a naked woman representing one of the farmer's horses, who in the game are used and abused like their real-world equivalents. Though the developer has subsequently replaced the girl with a 20 year old and pixelated the nudity, Valve and Epic still didn't find the game acceptable.

    what GOG is doing is great and i commend their efforts (even tho i wish they’d relax their submission policies juuust a bit), and as a store, not having piles of shovelware is great! but as a preservation platform, GOG’s approach is inherently limited. they can’t have every game, and they can’t keep supporting every game. that’s the fundamental problem with them as far as preservation is concerned. the only way i can think of where we could have total game preservation is if every game ever made had it’s source code readily available, and all people were taught the programming skills necessary to make the games work on whatever future computers we have. that way, even the most obscure games which don’t have a passionate fanbase can be ported, fixed and played for years to come. which, obviously, is not something that’s doable, by GOG or by anyone else
